www (dot) signs101 (dot) com is a good place to learn wide format. I like lexjet as a supplier of media, but that's state side.

Sorry, I was referring to distribution, not the actual production of the machine.

Xitron makes the Navigator rip and they are owned by Printware LLC (aka iJetPress) All the hardware is coming from neopost/rena (same company now) Rena uses Printware's rip. Printware uses Rena's hardware. Clear as mud!

I guess what I can't figure out is why it seems like KM and Ricoh (and Xerox?) are still setting paper registration at the drawers. My imagepress 7000vp sets the registration about 5" before it passes through the imaging unit, so I never have bounce or registration issues. The machine doesn't...

Why not have them rebuild your machine, use their demo machine to handle your printing while they take down your machine, then, after rebuild, continue on with your 7000vp but without a payment? If you're at 15 million clicks, and it's guaranteed to 18 million clicks and you put about 150k a...

The 14pt will be a problem, but a Canon Imagepress C1+II Would work for your short run, high quality need. The paper registration isn't stellar, but the image quality (especially with your short run needs) is really great. The other major problem is that the machine is SLOW. 13x19, heavy stock...

The specs say the standard max image width is 12.4" even though the machine handles 14" wide paper. The specs also say it can be customized to print 13.4" wide on the 14" paper. If the machine doesn't have the customization, are you ok with the idea of only being able to print 12 x 18, and not...

That's the part that gives me pause in this process. How much longer till someone like HP or KM come out with a press that does what these envelope printers do, but at 1/4 of the cost? Even if they can, do we think they will? Is the inkjet envelope market big enough for someone like them to...

I had a good time looking at all the envelope printers at Print 13 and I'm curious if anyone has experience going down this road? I know that all of the memjet based printers are all the same printer. Neopost, Colordyne, iJetPress, Rena.... It's all the same machine. Does anyone have one...

I own a Canon 7000vp and concur with everything ajr_oce said. The difference between the 6010 and 6010vp is the second fuser which keeps the machine running at full speed. I truly average about 31 impressions (not pages) per minute on 13x19.2 300gsm. We use the saddle finisher regularly and I'm...

Any reason to not consider the Mimaki printers or the HP latex printers?

Looks to me like you need a die cutter to perf all those sheets, and then a folder to fold it. Pretty serious job!

In the original post he included a flier of items and prices. If that's the stuff he wants to do, then he needs to get the equipment that will do it. Decent Digital Press Creaser Folder UV Coater Cutter Even if he buys second hand/cheap, he still needs lots of electricity and floor space for...

It's probably worth mentioning that many digital printers and paper cutters are going to require higher voltage and or amperage than you can get in a basement (assuming you're talking a residential basement.) In my particular situation, I have 2 suites in a building of 4, not because I need the...

I have no experience using it, but I checked out the Kompac UV coaters at graph expo and was impressed. The cleanup and changeover procedure was incredibly fast, and waste was very minimal. Price was in your range too. Kompac Technologies | UV Coaters | Aqueous Coaters | UV Coating | Aqueous...

I've got a 7000vp and just finished a job that was an 8 page newsletter imposed in the rip to run as a saddle stitched book, then added variable data on the outside page of each newsletter. Total was 2588 pages sent to the rip that folded down and stapled into 647 newsletters. Nary a hiccup in...

The last time I looked at KM output, there was ghosting around text, and you couldn't UV coat the sheets because of all the wax in their toner. I had two Canon C1's and after canon got tired of visiting our shop weekly to work on them, they upgraded us to a 7000vp. The print speed makes us...

Thanks for the information so far! I'm coming from a heavy duty hydraulic 36" cutter that is about 50 years old, so I'm certainly not interested in an all electric cutter that can't handle 20lb bond. My cutter is really wearing out and parts aren't available, so that's why I'm looking to...

I use the D & K superstick in my laminator and haven't had a problem yet. I run a roll of polyester gloss and vinyl matte laminate (yes, I mix types) when encapsulating and I have GREAT results with it. Prints come out flat and there is no waviness at all. I've got some work here that is over 2...
