    Toy? or worth considering?

    The Duplo 280 or 290 is a good machine too. Its twice the price but can you get parts or service with some of those cheaper brands?? Had a customer get a cheap cutter then broke a part. 4 week wait coming from China back in the good days.

    Brochure Folding ?

    there is a difference between creasing and scoring. Duplo machines have a creaser blade and the modules if equipped have a score blade. The score is nowhere as good as the crease and I tell my customers that. Try creasing on the other side of the sheet. Sometimes it makes a difference.

    Duplo DC-618 service manual

    What do you need to know? People who are not trained that get their hands on a service manual usually screw something up bad.

    Used Duplo 645

    Are you sure it's the motor? Never replaced one before. Most of those motors have gear reduction boxes attached to them. Maybe its in the gear box.

    Duplo DC-618 Skewing In Machine

    646 has the new black rollers out. Not 100% smooth but a bit tacky. Hopefully last longer than the gray ones.

    Duplo DC-618 Skewing In Machine

    I think 645 rollers are not available anymore. They had a plastic coating that would tear so they replaced on the 646 with the sponge rubber gray ones.

    Duplo DC-618 Skewing In Machine

    think of it this way. the whole sheet is getting transported as 1 unit. when the last few rows are slit you now have 3? separate rows trying to move together towards the cutter. sometimes one or more of those separated rows lag behind causing bad cards. if you have the soft gray rollers maybe...

    Duplo DC-645 adjust all

    If your software is too new and the machine is old it might clash. I dont think the 645 had a adjust all option. Maybe on the later machines but you would probably need to install new software in the machine for the PC to talk to it. The 645 has been discontinued for some time too. When they...

    Challenge Titan 265TC "Connection lost to I/O motor Controller

    Cant find that error anywhere. are you sure clamp/knife up and down sensors are ok. Lights flicker on and off? Does the backgage move under power? If not maybe a baby fuse on the board for BG motor control. Or if the clamp is not on its up sensor it will not move either. S/N of machine??

    Duplo Collator Blank Screen

    you need a battery for the display asap. If you wait too long it will need to be reprogrammed. Look on Ebay for a PL-28 looks like a rootbeer float with the cable on it.

    Touchline CF375 preventative maintenance.

    No. Its just the 4 feed belts. They tend to slip if they get worn. Ive seen many machiines into the millions with no service. Its like your car and the dealership. Come on it for the 12K check up.

    Used Duplo 645

    Can you cheat and fudge the numbers? You technically have to take something from one of the sides of the cards and add it to the card whether it's the gutter side or the end. I'm not sure what's in the service mode
