Thank you! How long have you had your Duplo? Do you perf, crease and slit on it?

Yeah, good to know that info before purchasing! Sorry you didn't. I am looking to get one myself. Do they tell you what that 20% is and why? Can you print on the window itself with that? I understand some ink jet envelope printers claim you can.

Based on what I have read and reviews, I think purchasing a Duplo 646 in the near future would make sense for our shop. Currently, we use a guillotine to cut and GW to perf and score. As I understand, you can barcode a job when you print it so the Duplo knows what to do when the job is loaded...

I am looking to upgrade to the 7200 series. I am currently using a Pro7100s. I understand the 7210 offers a 5th color. I believe I can use spot UV to increase profits, but I don't know how much more that would cost. What's the difference between the 7200s and the 7200e other than speed and...

I'm looking to get either an iJet NXT, Mach 6 or Formax ColorMax8 for printing all envelopes, including window. Currently, I can print regular envelopes from A2 and remittance to 10x13 on my Ricoh 7100s but have to open the flaps of #10s and smaller. I am outsourcing all window envelopes. I am...

Hi MIE, You're right, a lot going on right now. The equipment I'm looking at is a necessity, other than the Duplo. We print a lot of envelopes and NCR so I need to be able to do those in house cost effectively, without an offset press. We have already rigged the guillotine to cut 2", but the...

Thank you!

I had that problem on a numbering machine. It was caused by an exit wheel right behind the numbering head. Can you adjust the wheels so it's not inline with the image? Also, I am thinking about getting an iJet. The salesmen in my area seem to prefer the Formax ColorMax8c or the Mach 6. Most...

Thank you for your input!

Thanks for your input idahodian! Xerox really isn't a viable option in my market. How much time do you think you save in a day with the Duplo 646? As i understand you can set it and walk away.

Exactly, that's why we don't use that one at all anymore.

Thanks! See if my last post clarifies anything.

Yes, I definitely have some boat anchors around here! I really don't know how old the guillotines are but both are Pro-Cut model 235, programmable - but they are a little different from each other. One had to be banged on the side in order to get it to work most of the time, something about a...

Thank you all for your input - now who wants to be my purchasing agent :) Seriously, I do appreciate your time and consideration!

Unfortunately, not many options in our area, but that sounds like it's worth a look.

KM and Xerox don't have much support in our area. I've noticed very few of the shops use them for that reason. I agree, we should keep the guillotine, but how can I get it fixed? The only company I know of is 2 hours away - and they're the ones who installed it in the first place. I currently...

Thanks Shawnd, I am convinced Ricoh is proposing the 5310 just to more competitive in pricing. I'm a little concerned about used equipment - I bought a full shop of it LOL! But, I will look into that option.

Last year I purchased a relatively small print shop. It's time to upgrade the equipment and that is not my fortay. Currently we have Ricohs, a Pro 7100s and a 4501. Neither is supported for NCR or window envelopes, and anything smaller than a #10 needs to be opened first (personally I find that...

I have a Pro 7100s and always have to open #10s or smaller before running them. However, I put about 6 closed envelopes at the bottom of tray 3 and then a little more than 50 opened envelopes on top. I only send 50 at a time, and if it picks up an envelope that isn't opened it jams, but only at...

Well, here's my update. We've called everyone we could find and no one is buying because they are currently unable to sell overseas right now. You might find someone local willing to pick up for free, then they will hold and sell when they can. Good luck mmpredmond and anyone else!
