I haven’t experienced this problem on my 618. Maybe its toner related to how slick different toners can be. Guess I’d make sure the rollers are clean and that the press rollers and backup rollers are in good contact and that someone didn’t back off the hexagon socket to release the pressure. I...

Completely agree. I have to assume that anyone that would bid on some of the higher ticket items have either made the trip to see the equipment working in person or they have a few screws missing. I would work with a dealer directly for an item like a 618 and not through any auction site...

What a nightmare! I have a Pitney Bowes DI950 and I'm not a fan of these folder inserters. They have too many places where things can go wrong and they seem to have a limited life span. At least Pitney Bowes sells me parts to keep it running. I wish I could have found a nice swing arm inserter...

I have seen several listed on Wirebids in the past. Just remember that on a higher ticket item like this, the items on the auctions are sold "as is". Even if the seller says they're in great condition they may or may not be. I have bought several pieces of equipment from this site and had no...

Had similar issues running lighter stock. Fuser was replaced and issue was much better but wasn't completely resolved until the pressure roller under the fuser unit was replaced. No more wrinkles after those items replaced.

I don't have any issues running 100lb gloss text or 60lb uncoated text on the 618. I have very few jams and other than removing one of the slitter units have never taken anything apart to remove a jam. I did have a lot of issues having to clean off the rollers but that was because of the the...

Back in 2020 I had pricing on both the C5310s and C7200s. Both were quoted to be similarly equipped as the Versant 280. Versant 280 has the Fiery strapped on the back, 2 oversized high capacity trays and production ready finisher, nothing special. Over a 60 month lease the C5310s would have cost...

I have issues with my 280 but there hasn’t been anything that couldn’t be resolved in a day or maybe two. I’m overall happy with the performance with the exception of the 2nd BTR failure when running coated stock, it’s much worse that it ever was on the 80 I had. The 280 has improvements for...

The OP wasn’t specific about the paper that was going to be used, but did say it was fairly thick high quality. When a customer says something like this, I normally skip using 80lb/118gsm coated text and go with 100lb/148gsm coated text. It may be possible to run a 64 page booklet on 148gsm...

You may want to check with Stocklayouts. If you don't see the licensing that you're looking for, get in touch with them to ask. This was a while back but I did receive information from them for a license to use for print sellers.

I wouldn’t put that job on my Versant 280, I’d send the job out. The 80,000 is a recommended monthly volume and it’s based on a 8½x11 or A4 sheet. If I understand correctly, you’d be running 3,000 64 page A4 size booklets a month. That would be 96,000 clicks just to print your 3,000 booklets...

I’m sure there’s someone out there that may be interested but these presses aren’t worth much anymore unless they’re in pristine condition. I had two 9810’s with T-heads about 4 years ago and Boggs was going to give me $1,200 for both. I got busy and didn’t get back to them, then a year later...

I have some old customers that are 30 days and some that are 15 days. The rest are check or credit on pickup or payment prior to shipping. Except for a few good customers, large orders are now 50% down and if I’m sending the job out it’s full payment up front, just like I paid. I have no problem...

If the names and addresses weren’t messed up by the agent, then I would guess the 18pt return address was picked up when scanned. On a postcard size mailing, I would try to keep the return as far to the top as possible and either 9pt or 10pt. The template I send my customers has the lower right...

If your mailings are small and you want to use IMB you may want to check out the IMsb Intelligent Mail small business tool, it's free to use on USPS site for smaller mailings. The tool is available when you're logged into the Customer Gateway

I have used BM-Win Plus for years. It won’t help you with your periodicals but for the cost, it will certainly get you through the political season without downtime. Most of my mailings are under 5,000 pieces but I have done the occasional 50,000 postcards and it had no problems. No built-in...

There is something you may want to try, it may or may not help. Your folder doesn’t have gap sets to separate the rollers for different stock thickness. I have an old friction folder that I use for heavier stock and 8 page newsletters that get folded. The exit rollers need to have a bit more gap...

It’s not the type of folder to use for heavy cardstock. You’re doing good if you can successfully fold 80lb cover. Best to look at a knife folder if you do a lot of heavy cardstock folding. If it’s a half-fold you could try using the last fold plate instead of the first (top fold plate), doubt...

This is exactly the same way I do these on my 618. Larger quantities and I skip the Duplo and guillotine then crease on a Rollem that has Tri-Creasers.

Look around for a used EBA. The one I have isn't programmable (didn't have the money back then) it has power back gauge and digital readout. Most people want a programmable now, so you should be able to get a good price for a nice used one as a backup.
