We are looking into purchasing our first folder gluer and are deciding between a 1999 Moll Marathon and 2000 Kluge Unifold. We will mainly be running standard 9pt ~ 16pt pocket folders. Hoping someone might have some insight as to why one might be a better choice than the other. Some thoughts...

I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there is an inline cutting solution for the Mimaki UJV55-320. I remember seeing what looks like a plug in spot for a trimming mechanism (scissor pictogram) but can't seem to find anything online.

I was wondering if you had any idea what your company paid for the W+D halm super jet. We are a small commercial shop in the US looking to purchase an envelope press and are trying to figure out if the super jet would make sense for us. Thanks in advance.

@turbotom1052 Though probably not feasible with our own equipment (graphtec plotter and an esko router cutter), I would be interested to see how precise a CAD plotter could get.

If so, that might work. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the suggestion - it looks like a full-fledged online design application. We are looking for something that just allows customer to manipulate size and positioning to make sure their artwork fits within the specs of their ordered size. This would eliminate a lot of back and forth with...

Does anyone know of a software capable of this? Not sure where the attached screenshot is from, a customer of mine reached out asking if we would be able to implement something like this. When uploading an order on a web2print system, customers have the ability to do simple edits to fit artwork...

We are still setting up the software and workflow but depending on our needs, I may be contacting you about this in the near future. Thanks for all the useful information.

Thanks for the reply and the YouTube suggestion. I found some videos from FourPees' YouTube channel that seem helpful. We obviously took as close a look as we possibly could before purchasing, but I'm sure you can appreciate expectation vs reality can be two very different things. Just looking...

Anyone using or have experience with tFLOW? We recently purchased the software and will be setting up for our gang run offset + wide format shop. Would love some advice from any experienced users. Pros? Cons? Anything in particular to consider or watch out for? Behind the tFLOW front end is...

Any issues with drying? We ordered some high gloss AQ to test with matte strikethrough varnish but I'm fully expecting to run into drying problems. Our work would be very heavy varnish coverage - mainly text and small vector logos knocked out.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Though I absolutely despise Adobe, there's really no alternative. No competition = predatory business practices and $h1tty service.

Thanks for the useful software recommendations. I know Adobe advises against it, but we usually have 3-6 people working live jobs on the server. We haven't done any in depth investigating, but I suspect that plays a part in our slowdowns. I would be interested to know how other small/mid sized...

Do you have any issues with your synology setup in a mixed (Windows/Mac) environment? Our speeds have gotten better using some tweaks but we still see considerably slower transfer and search speeds on our macs vs windows computers. I think some users have had to resort to using CIFS or SMB1...

We've only really tried to knocking out coating for large sections of the sheet. Never thought it would be possible to do any more than that. How much detail have you been able to achieve with this? I assume small text/fonts/curves would be out of reach.

We've cut coating blankets for knocking out coating before, but we're needing to "spot" gloss images and text so that's not an option.

We were going through this exact issue with a 30,000 qty booklet job earlier today. Our customer opted to ditch the matte AQ and go with the gloss varnish, but we did float the idea of running matte strikethrough varnish with gloss AQ or even a flood gloss UV. (the strikethrough varnish won't...

The Domino presses look amazing. Definitely a tier above. Likely too much for our volume but I'm interested to see how the price point compares to the Konica Minolta 190/230. Thanks again for all the great information. You've been a big help.

Thanks so much for all the great info. I have reached out to Konica Minolta for a sit down and pricing. I may be mistaken but I was under the impression that UV ink was the ideal technology for label printing as it can produce high quality prints on virtually any substrate. You seem to be very...
