I'm interested if you can elaborate on this. We are also tentatively looking at memjet solutions and am interested in this along with any running cost data based on real use, particularly print head life (IIRC the 70,400 nozzle head is around a grand a pop...) Presumably BW is no more expensive...

This is an old machine (launched in 2017) and a reliable source posted on this forum recently that the 3100 end of support date is end 2026. That may impact your decision and certainly your negotiation power, since five years is the usual minimum expectation from a digital press. Of course...

A few thoughts: Both machines are one previous generation (KM replaced the C3070 with the C4080 in late 2020 and I believe Canon's current incarnation is the C910 (I'm happy to stand corrected on the latter) The photos you have posted may just be stock imagery, however if you take the KM route...

The Sunpack WK02-30 doesn’t have a minimum stack height, however on thin stacks you must back off the tension to prevent an over-tight concave result. Whereas with a bulky product or a cylindrical (e.g. posters) generally the tighter the better

We bought a Sunpack WK02-30 which uses 180m 29mm White or Kraft coated paper tapes, or 29mm film. Duplo are the UK distributor, presumably there is representation your side of the pond. The other similar machine we considered was the Akebono Strapack 360N, this uses 30mm tapes/film. Three...

Welcome to the forum... check out Dan's video on the Canon Varioprint here

Excuse what may be a rookie question here as our envelope printing experience is limited and been mostly for operations processes (think cash & coupon internal envelopes) as opposed to mailing. I've seen these dedicated inkjet envelope printers but often wondered how the issue of the envelope...

I was speaking of the Kyocera, which you're printing the guts of the books with.

Shame that little printer you have won’t take SRA4, then you could go 2-up

Guessing I'm not the only one to check out our new member's profile to see if it was Dan? :oops: Welcome @JustaPrinter BTW, I've a feeling your posts may get above average number of views because of your handle.

oh wow! My bad... I'd incorrectly assumed when you said: that you were printing A5 2-up on A4

We did the same with 4 x HP8100s, all fitted with EIO HDDs. Crude but it worked and got the job done...

Just looking at these 3 points, since you're printing onto A4 substrate and step "5" is simply cutting the A4 2-up in half, your finished book hasn't got a cleanly finished knife trim to three sides. As you also have a laminated card cover in the mix, I imagine this lack of final trim to give...

@Tradidi we and I'm sure many other get this to some extent using production machines. I've found it a particular problem when making B/W pads printed to both sides, however depending on your environment and RH% at the time, leaving that stack for a few days can improve it considerably...

Another way to come about this, if are you competent on Excel... What we do - maintain an Excel sheet listing all your substrates, pack sizes, current cost pricing, etc. Then when quoting a job, apply a desired target % margin to the various costs elements (in our case, design, production...

The 350i hasn't got a three knife trimmer, just fore-edge trim

So you're feeding pre-creased cover stock from the top tray and pre-collated / digital sets from the bottom tray. Pre-cutting tops and bottoms on the guillotine will give you a much better finished edge when made into a finished booklet, than cutting tops and bottoms of individual sheets on an...
