Hi Tony ok so what is the difference between cut and slit then? "The Duplo machines you've listed won't kiss cut They cut, slit, crease and perforate." Not trying to be a smart ass Just trying to clarify. thanks Simon

thanks for the info guys. Bummer regarding the kiss cutting. I guess I'll have to keep kiss cutting on my GTO (Can only kiss cut in one direction, no way of compensating for movement with digital print and no good with unskilled staff) or my roland wide format vinyl cutter (to slow, someone has...

Hi there. Keen on getting a second hand Duplo. Probably either a DC 616, DC 645 or DC445 obviously the newer the more expensive. Just wondering if there was a website where I can easily compare the specs of the different models. Need to make a call if the extra $$$ for a newer machine adds up to...

I have had a good run from my versant 2100, had it about 2 years now. Like all machines they have there week areas. Registration is quite good on the whole. Rolling solids average. A lot depends on what you are comparing it with and what your expectations are. I moved up from a versant 80 and...

Hi Josh Good to hear from you. Hadn't thought of that! might be worth a try. I might be able to talk the customer into a lamination if that doesn't work. Hows business? I have been quite busy. talk soon. Simon

Hi there, Bit of a stuff up. Just trying to save a long(ish) digital run. Staff member did not have fusing temperature high enough. With a bit of a rub tonner is coming off. Not sure if its worth a try?. How will a standard offset matt oversealer work over the tonner. Hoping it might seal the...

thanks Sidney. Not sure if available here! (New Zealand) but will look into it. ta Simon

Hi there. Two issues here, (I'm being lazy any not posting in seperate posts) 1/ I have a small hot laminator. I stupidly left on (hot) with top roller in contact with the film. Now I can't clean the dried adhesive off. I have tried Meths, Kerosene and turps. Both with the machine hot and...

Thanks Magnus. fantastic! I'll have a look at this ASAP.

Hi Magnus. I have put a tick in the box, Is this what you mean? I can't from memory remember where it is. Image drop down menu page? maybe?. This is the only place that I can see any reference to "trapping" ta Simon

Thanks abc, this is fantastic. You might be right pnamajck. I need to improve my skills in this area, (not easy when your average day is printing on a Heidelberg gto, making a 3meter wide x 1 meter high sign, foiling on a Heidelberg platen and then to top it all off have to understand...

Hi Josh Good to hear from you. Will see if I can find Black overprint in Acrobat. It might not actual be black (just looks like black on the screen) I have ticked the little box for trapping in command workstation and it makes no difference. talk soon. Simon

thanks guys. All useful information. Unfortunately the files are supplied as PDFs so unless I open in Illustrator (with all the associated problems/risks) I can't do much with illustrator. Thanks abc, your suggestion could be a go. Is there any online tutorials? or even an old fashion manual...

Hi there. Is there a quick way to add trap/spreads in pitstop. Customer is grizzing that there is a very fine white line (it moves about a bit ) on his b/cards. Around black text on a dark orange background. File is a PDF supplied by customer. (I think it is create in Coral) I see there is...

Hi Chock. Sorry only just seen your reply. my email is [email protected]. Ideally after the DFC 100/120. thanks Simon

Hi there, Can anyone direct me to a website where I can download one of these. I don't mind paying for it but want to know it is safe before loading my credit card details. thanks Simon

Hi Maniac. Sounds like an amazing machine . It would be great to see a video of it working?. I wonder if he would be able to find contracts now? with the shift away from plastic. Did he sell it?

Funny thing about letterheads! everyone says they have to be printed offset (toner comes off when put threw a hot laser printer) yes this does happen occasional! but I have found in around 90% of cases this does NOT happen. I always provided x10 - x15 for the customer to trial threw there laser...

Is there anyone out there that is surviving on small/medium size offset alone? My gut feeling is they must be getting rare. 5 years ago my work load was approx 50% offset 50% digital. Now approx 5% offset 95% digital. Even NCR seems to be going digital! but having said that! the evidence seems...

I know I'm getting off subject a bit, but would love to hear from anyone who does have a small offset that is NOT doing less and less work on it! Every year that go's by the ration of offset jobs to digital is going against offset. (in this part of the world anyway) Is there anyone out there...
