    Tariffs - Have they, or, will they impact your business?

    Perfectly said PN. USA has been constipated for decades, and the "medications" from our gov have all been sold on the black market. (They been stealing our tax money by the millions and billions) But like any constipation, there will be a little pain, but a 'UGE relief when it all comes out...

    ALM 3222 error

    You have a short piece of laminate in the path.. Too small to be moved along. Possibly stuck to the cutter frame. This machine is fairly simple to open up and clear. First take off the roller clamping lever. Then both side covers. You'll see the ends of the cutter module sticking out either...

    Printer research

    Seems to me, you could save a lot of money by making friends with a local printer, who can output what you need, once, or couple times a month. Maybe with a wide format printer. And these days, it doesn't even need to be local. Though personally I'd like to be able to visit face to face.

    What's everybody using for comb and spiral punching? We have a 1 year old Digipunch from Spiel that is horrible, need to replace it.

    Most unfortunate. Happening to a lot of companies now. Most of the old guys have retired along with their knowledge and expertise.

    What's everybody using for comb and spiral punching? We have a 1 year old Digipunch from Spiel that is horrible, need to replace it.

    I have an old Digipunch.. Maybe 10 yrs old, (I forget) Works great. Changed the main drive belt 2 or 3 times.. Lube it once in a while. Replaced one jog solenoid. So you have a new model.. apparently. Good to know.

    Look at the flag/plate under the table that sets the 5 inch base line. Make sure it's tight. and clean. Have you checked the drive belt of the screw rod? Not too tight nor too loose. Otherwise you may be looking at replace the encoder.

    Bring the back gauge forward. Get hold of it and push / pull. Does it move significantly? more than a tenth of inch? Maybe almost a half inch? The brass nut that rides up and down on the screw rod is worn away. And/ or the end play on the rod.. Needs bearing and thrust washer on the rod, and...

    Stitched ripping booklet

    So this Matte text you're using.. I assume it's coated stock(?) Quite heavy? I have had this problem with heavy coated stocks and the covers ripping off in the booklet maker. It's simply the weight of the stock that when the rollers are pulling it (down?) inertia is holding the book back, while...

    Stitched ripping booklet

    I know that feeling. However.. I had a thought.. Run some covers with cleaner on them. EG, A soft uncoated cover sheet with a cleaner of some kind.. I don't know the odds of igniting a solvent by doing that.. :rolleyes: But there are machines that use this method to clean up rollers etc...

    humidity

    Some things won't show sign. I'd be putting a ounce of bleach in there every week. Maybe over a weekend. Or.. a few silver coins (real silver) laying in there would work, to prevent bacteria growing. Legionnaires comes to mind.

    humidity

    My Canon inkjet won't even start up, unless humidity is over about 35% or better.. That is still low, and it has additional humidity conditioners internally. Definitely better for production inkjet printers. Better for static control. Better for your skin. Better for your sinuses. I keep it in...

    Konica Minolta's IQ-501

    I know nothing about the IQ system.. But generally.. Sounds like a magnification calibration issue. "Specs" may all be fine, but if it's miscalibrated, you're just compensating for error. Not fixing the problem.

    We run a Merlin RO system. For humidification and also to feed our monster Canon IX3200, which requires it for internal conditioning. The Merlin is expensive, but very effective.
