I would weigh it based on your current satisfaction with Xerox, reliability of the machine, and competitive offers. Would you keep the same machine or would they install a new one? I personally am ready to swap out a machine at the end of the lease, before it starts to be a headache. I...

I always had the best luck running envelopes open flap. I don’t think half speed is what you want, probably. What are you setting the media weight at? I would try settings below 170gsm. I had a KM with the envelope fuser and I’m not convinced that it was anything but a dedicated fuser for...

I’m not a canon guy so I can’t help directly or state what is normal performance on that machine…but I would first request the customer expectations document..I always request this before signing..this will be the technical definition of what spec is for your device. Have you tried going...

If you decide to go KM you probably need it, but it is IMHO a very flawed design (impossible to actually clean and frustrating / unproductive to use it the way the sales people tell you to…per sheet checking errors out once you have a spec of dust on it..see impossible to clean). The way I...

Not who you are replying to, but I would guess it’s because you have specified “ultra high accuracy registration” and performance on textured stocks. The light production machines you are looking at I guarantee will show their weaknesses with those expectations. The 7200 is as good as I’ve...

In this production segment do US printers still call on Xerox? Where I am seems like most printers left Xerox behind at least one if not two (printer) generations ago. The last time I had Xerox equipment the local Xerox techs had been further reduced (they were already struggling) and...

Yeah the simplest solution would be to start with Boggs, but unsure if in the condition they’d want based on photos… With most prospective buyers, assuming your garage is not dock height, that may be an issue for some to pickup, unless you or they have a forklift and they’ve got a truck with a...

We don’t have a die cut machine, but for a small amount of pieces I have used a combination of the crease and other tools to create guides I can cut out manually.

you know how dumb the average person is? Half are dumber than that

I don’t understand the trend towards designing books without page numbers, this is exactly the kind of thing that can happen. I do more saddle stitch than perfect bound books, but sometimes customers send files in single page format (ideal), sometimes in spreads…and often without page numbers...

This is one reason I discourage buying color presses…in my experience Xerox, et al will sooner or later raise your click to the point where you would have been better off signing a new lease. They do not want to give you a low click on an older machine that they know will break down more (and...

I have a 7210, our only digital printer and I run it quite a bit. Though I do care and pay attention, I’ll be honest most of our clients are not overly critical and its rare anything comes back for color…when it does it’s usually a customer file issue (ie: layering in photos to achieve a certain...

Not AI…but the newest (beta) release of quite imposing has added a quick bleed adding tool, you can select between mirroring or (global) scaling. 99% of the time it does what it needs to without making it worse. Within Acrobat’s Preflight tool - I made a preset that is a quick way to flatten...

I don’t get the impression they are tanks from my service reps. I would see if you can talk to them / printers in town with one before putting the $ down.

Duplo dbm150, with the face trimmer. It is pretty minimalist, it does not slit, I cut top and bottom on the guillotine before feeding it in. And oftentimes I’ll crease the cover on our 646.

We had a km 6085. My Ricoh guys hate the inline plocks…we call them problematics. But I’ve not owned one, from a value POV the offline machine makes sense to us (buy one machine that lasts a decade or more for $20k, and never needs service…or pay $$$$$ for something you throw away every time...

We had the same slitter issues you had, books were always crooked, face trimming caused trimmings to jam the machine, etc… the engine also had a lot of issues… service couldn’t ever figure it out. Made our km relationship go very sour.

I’ve not heard great things about the GBC punch but never used one. I have a 3HP builtin and use that for one specific job though and it’s okay, though sometimes not perfect it’s close enough.

H I had KM machine with the SD513 attached, and it was so incredibly terrible that is what drove me to go offline.

I have a 7210 but mostly incrementally different machine AFAIK… 1. I normally avoid stocks that heavy (the 7210 isn’t spec’d for it). Sometimes I’ll do 18pt C2S…I find one side at a time works best for this. I have several years ago gotten 24pt but you may be limited / have to get parent...
