any thoughts, guys?

Do bear in mind this article is TEN YEARS OLD on a topic where technology, R&D are very fast moving.

To date, our typical work has mostly been using regular coated white stocks and uncoated stocks, white and tints and occasionally synthetics. We have a new customer for cards & notelets who only wants recycled substrates and likes 'Arts & Crafts'/Rustic papers like Ivory Flecked, etc. I have...

lovely machine, someone got a bargain there! @gazfocus

@vbpuk welcome to the forum. A few things... The market for A5 leaflets/flyers is very saturated, with a lot of ridiculously cheap offerings available. We've often looked at this and when you add in all the costs, carriage, etc. there's a lot of busy fools out there competing to make very...

For clarification I guess... Google "paper guillotine" and see what results you get! Although on a professional print forum I imagine most people know what we think of as a guillotine versus a "trimmer", "personal guillotine" or whatever else those things are badged as.

IMO calculating the ROI and justifying a slitter/cutter/creasers should be come at differently to other equipment, because in most cases the device is not an absolute 'must have'. By that, I mean you MUST have a guillotine (stack cutter), folder, booklet maker etc. otherwise you're unable to...

We have the 370DP (duplex) version with Omniflow deep pile feeder. Ensure you do get a ‘P’ version as opposed to the original 370 or 530 - the pneumatics were a game changer. We do a lot of full bleed work with heavy toner coverage, so don’t tend to run it above 2.5metres/minute and always...

Perhaps only an issue this side of the pond, the main problem we've encountered is non-ISO216 default template sizes, lack of bleed, lack of understanding of the difference between bleed and margin, etc. If it stops people designing posters etc in Powerpoint or Publisher, that's got to be a good...

Until recently we had the DF-1200. It was a good little folder, compact & quiet and particularly ideal with lightweight coated stocks. We got to know the optimum air settings, etc. through tinkering, don't take the guidelines in the manual too seriously. Two things it really didn't like and I...

same version I'm struggling with :mad:

I'd not seen these before. So built around a C1100 / C6100 engine, with a heavier duty finishing end than KM's own Accuriolabel product. Nice.

Worth stickying this? Certainly the most useful, concise summary of these Duplos I've come across.

Being contrarian, we purposely waited until Spring 2000 to purchase new telephone and IT systems. They could have been a waste of money at the heavily inflated late 1999 prices and indeed not needed, since the world was going to end at 00:00 01/01/00

Just out of interest, what’s the story on the 01/28/20 commissioning date? Loving the bench extension!

Have found the latest version of Acrobat Pro frequently goes into ‘not responding’ for several seconds before stabilising, generally when paging down. Win 10 desktops, plenty of RAM & SSHDDs. Anyone else on Windows finding this?

Some of that advice is questionable IMO, for example... Durability - vinyl substrates typically quote outdoor durability lifespan, in years. Choosing the most suitable laminating film, e.g. Anti-graffiti coated, is equally relevant. Unless for very short term or one-off use, such as for...

Sorry I misinterpreted. Excessive Boxing Day alcohol consumption...

Buying any 15 year old digital printer isn’t likely to be a smooth ride. Even where the machine is in good condition with low mileage, availability of parts and support coupled with driver availability & compatibility with current operating systems can all represent hurdles.

@TJPrinter 100% with you on that point, in fact Adobe CC is the only subscription software we have. We often receive Indesign packages which are produced in the latest version, so CS6 would be no good to us. Everything else is on premise, including some very old software (e.g. Sage Accounts...
