    Following Guidelines

    My favorite is when the CDC issued a warning saying that cloth face masks weren't acceptable to use to block out smoke particles during the wild fires out west. Then people checked and I believe a smoke particle is about 10x larger than the Cover-19 particle. Yes, makes sense

    Pay Per Click vs Pay Per Visit

    Well I can tell you you’ll have slit more than a few thousands in repairs if you pay per visit. The visit alone could cost you that. If it’s a oddball item it could be a while to diagnose, and then you’ll need to have the part replaced the next day because the tech won’t have it with them. for...

    Annoying calls from Xerox AR

    All the time. Very annoying. We always pay on time and they call us before the invoice is even due. I made them pull up our contract one time and read the specifics on billing. When they said payment must be made NET 30 I asked them to count the days from our invoice date. It was like 15 days. I...

    Fuji updates the Versant Series

    They do, but it also comes with a price tag of around $2 million. Hence why I said one that doesn’t cost a fortune.

    Fuji updates the Versant Series

    I’d love to see a B2 digital press that didn’t cost a fortune like the indigo and had a click similar to where they’re currently at. That would make digital way more cost effective in the 2500-5000 booklet market. Every market really, but that’s where I see the biggest gap difference.

    Fuji updates the Versant Series

    Looks like they added an "i" to the name and printed a new brochure and made a new video for the previous models. Nothing really exciting here if you ask me. Ill keep my V3100 that's creeping up on 5 million impressions.

    Replacing challenge cutter motor

    Hey guys, we picked up a challenge 305 With micro it jr on the cheap. Our new shop doesn’t have 3 phase power, so we are out of luck using it unless we go with a VFD or Phase converter. I like the idea of just swapping motors out. Price will be the same or a little cheaper even. My main question...

    konica 12000 VS Ricoh 9200

    I wouldn’t put much stock into the “duty cycle” though. Also remember, duty cycle is single sided 20# 8.5x11. Divide the duty cycle by 4, then divide by 2 and that’s probably what you should be maxing them out a month at

    Online print market place, is there any?

    Are government RFP's really that bad and a 0 sum game? Ive never really looked into them.

    konica 12000 VS Ricoh 9200

    Your generous saying that they'll make it 1MIL even if you don't care about quality and only run 70gsm lol. But really, you'll never get that type of life out of those things. If its a belt fuser, your going to have to replace belts. We probably shred one every 200k or so. Gears will go out...

    Fujipla Drylam PLS3310

    Did you pull the trigger on the laminator? Pretty sure Im gonna pull the trigger on 2 3220's for a pretty good price.

    Fujipla Drylam PLS3310

    I’ve been eyeing a 3220 for a while. I’m probably going to pull the trigger on it. It looks like an expensive way to get into laminating. I feel like we’re missing out on some of our bids because we either have to outsource cover coatings or convince them to go with another option. As far as...

    Following Guidelines

    If mask are so effective in cutting the transmission of the disease, why don't we mandate them during flu season every year? While the flu is less deadly, are the deaths that do occur from the flu less worthy of our efforts than people who die from Covid? Also, why weren't mask mandated in...

    EDDM bundling

    If you do enough EDDM, something like this would probably be the best way to handle the counting. Not necessarily this model, but it will point you in the right direction. https://www.amazon.com/My-Weigh-CTS-6000-Digital-Counting/dp/B004C3B4C4

    Paying Bills...

    You might want to approach your landlord with a little more humility and politeness or he's liable to kick you to the curb. I know if any of my tenants came and told me what I needed to do, id tell them what they needed to do, which would be buy some boxes and start packing. You mentioned 2...

    Adobe Alternative?

    You can also get Quark Pro 2018 from the Mac App Store for $399. And I believe by it being on the App Store, you can use it on up to 6 different computers at once. Even though Quark doesn't like that. But Affinity does seem pretty nice. Messed around with some of the Beta versions. As far as...

    Mailing Question

    thanks for the reply guys. We are meeting the move update requirements by just using “or current resident”. They were just a political postcard so not that big of a deal. Basically after talking with the local postal clerk, they seem to be pretty lax? At least he made it seem like it. I was...

    What kind of paper cutter are you using?

    The biggest question going to be asked is how much are you going to be using the cutter? Cutting all day everyday? Or not as frequent?

    Mailing Question

    Wasn't sure which forum to put this in, so hopefully it gets seen here. Im getting into mailings, and had a CSR at Postage Saver tell me that as long as the correct letters are in the tray, it doesn't matter what order they are in, as long as they're in there. Is this correct? I couldn't find...

    3 phase VFD and Static Converters for Cutter

    I hooked it up myself. Ive done all the electrical work here so far. Although I will admit, the VFD had me a little baffled with all the settings and different things it could do. How loud is your rotary phase converter? Ive heard they're anywhere from noisy and annoying to no one even notices.
