We heard from Xerox and there is a national shortage of drums right now. Our orders haven't been shipping out of them for the last 3 weeks or so. They said there were a batch of drums that were destroying developer housings. Idk if this batch was limited to the US or not, but I would say even if...

Was looking to perf 24lb bond. Looks like the 615 is rated for 30lb and up. So guess its a no go. The crease master plus is rated for 14lb and up so I might have to just go with that.

Thanks for the info. I don't have one currently, we run a weekly perf job that we purchase pre-perfed paper. We'd like to get an SCC to handle it and then automate book cover scoring. The person selling it also said their in house tech said it can perforate. So I'm guessing it does unless I got...

Hey guys, does the 615 perforate? I know the 616 has a unit to do so, and that the 615 is the older version of it. I called Duplo sales and he said that the 615 would perforate but he didn't instill much confidence in his answer to me. Im sure many on here are using or have used the 615 so just...

I use Pro-Digital from MidLand Papers. I believe its made in South Korea. Runs great on my 3100. Not the highest quality paper but never had a customer complain or want a different stock.

We had trouble getting 70lb gloss text for about a month. We use Mid-Land paper and they had a bunch of stuff just waiting in the shipping docks waiting to be unloaded that was causing a backup. We use their Pro-Digital stuff. it runs great, price is great and quality is pretty good. never had a...

I think the biggest thing to take away from this is that your process isn’t how anyone else does things. So your doing it “wrong” based on industry standards. You were able to get away with it because the 550 just deleted everything 3mm from the edge. So your image might not have actually been...

I think your experience is the only one that feels that the 550 would be superior quality than the 180. And most likely the alignment issue as well. As @pippip showed with his Versant 80, it will hold perfect registration for an A4 sheet and had perfect margins. There has to be something that...

Here you go. Printed and hand cut on a cheap guillotine in maybe 5 minutes. I didn't do an A3 sheet just because set up would have been a nightmare. But, this can be done and time saving. And honestly, my hydraulic cutter would be more accurate than my hand cutting, and this is pretty spot on.

Id strongly consider it if the UK allowed us Americans in right now lol. I feel like if he posted the file here I could have it done in 10 minutes and done perfectly.

I don't think your being fed a load of bs at all. These machines have tolerances that they are expected to hold. generally somewhere around 1mm. These aren't offset machines or wide format machines that hold perfect registration. BUT, they do a very good job at it for each image/sheet being...

I really think you'll save time and money by printing on a larger sheet and cutting down to the exact margins that you are wanting. A nice rotary trimmer would work well and you could hit your crop marks every time and have an exact margin. Spend a couple hundred bucks on this and see if it...

Well ill start with one of the items you keep mentioning, the Indigo. They are probably the best digital printer out there. they are still toner and not inkjet though. The 3000 and 5000 series are I'm going to say 10 years old. Which in terms of digital equipment is about 2 lifetimes. I wouldn't...

Biggest things missing that we need to know. What is your budget and what do you expect volume to be?

I will say that we have a Versant 3100 and finish all our saddle stitched stuff inline. The slow down on the machine is minimal, and the books come out fully trimmed and ready to box. The square fold is a must have if you ask me when finishing digitally printed booklets. They just dont lay near...

If you have a Versant series from Xerox, coated papers will ruin your 2nd BTR's quickly.

If you look at your CED it should give you what is considered within specs for the registration. I believe the 180 is +/- 1mm. So if you if you are wanting a perfect 3mm border all the way around, your best best is going to be manually trimming it yourself from SRA3. It doesn't cost much more...

Well we have a V3100. A lot more machine than you, but similar. We do have the full width array for alignment and calibration. But our 3100 holds registration really well. I just did a perfect bound book run (8000 sheets of guys) and every block of books cut split the trim marks. This is a...

Was this a used or brand new machine? Something is not right about what is going on with the machine. Either on Xerox’s end or your end. Did you get sample prints from X and have ran those same samples once it is installed? That should tell you pretty much everything right there. Also, are you...

We’re all gonna die, might as well enjoy things before we do lol.
