I think that since books survived the Kindle phase then they are here to stay for MANY MANY years. Kindle's used to be a huge item for gifts and such but I don't see the demand for them anymore. I think people want to have a physical book to read. Go to an airport and look at your flight. there...

Im surprised your toner supplier is pushing back this much. Just tell them your making up for all the times you've printed text only sheets and its averaging itself out.

DYP isn't quite right in his answer. The V3100 also has better finishing capabilities than the 2100. Thats why we ended up getting a 3100. The "Xerox brand" finishing is a lot more robust and can handle more capacity. So here's what the 3100 does better in finishing: -Doesnt slow down when...

So we have had a Versant 3100 since it was put into the field with the upgraded finishing from Xerox. We replaced a 1000i with it. We have loved the machine since we got it. Which If I remember correctly We got it in December of 2017 and have about 7 million clicks on it currently. It has...

No need to yell at us lol.

Thanks! I actually watch his video's pretty regularly. Id love to have a setup like him (and his volume). But right now can't justify that much money on equipment like his. We are getting 1 or maybe 2 orders a month that include a laminate cover. We have a shop that can do it for us locally that...

Thanks for the input @pippip and @Ynot_UK. Definitely don't want to get too much money involved in this in case something doesn't pan out. But was looking at something along this line. Our labor is pretty cheap so manual feed isn't out of the question. I guess I didn't realize that to just...

So I have a problem. We have been getting more and more request for laminated book covers. We generally don't do anything laminated, but when we do we just buy pouches and us a small desktop laminator to seal it. We recently tried it with some book covers. Results were, as you can imagine...

Like @TJPrinter said, a good cutter can last decades. We still do our everyday cutting on a Challenge 20. Bought it about 7-8 years ago on Craigslist for $800 and its been a champ. Only thing it has needed is a new hydraulic hose and oil changes. Check around for something used. You might be...

I’m just going to throw this out there. I saw one on eBay one time that had a bracket on the outside so that it could run non OEM rolls and could run standard cheap laminate rolls. i think I also talked to someone who figured out a way to put the Fujipla roll bracket on standard rolls to save...

Thanks. Ive seen the press releases and the brochures. What I (and many others on here) want to know is what is the actual cost of a sheet. Since this isn't an offset press, we would naturally assume that it has a per sheet cost similar to a toner based machine. Sheet 1 cost the same as sheet...

Helene, since you represent Landa, can you tell us what the true cost per page is for the S10? Is it any better price wide than the current toner machines out?

So I looked up the brochure for the printer. The brochure says warm up time is 120 seconds. Are you having issues with having to wait 2 minutes for a document to print? I would think that waiting the 2 minutes 3 or 4 times a day would offset the cost of the electricity used by never letting the...

Did you ever figure have someone come in and help you out with your machine to get it into specs? Many of us on here, myself included, have shown you that Versants are capable of tight registration and high quality images. I also offered to come over as a consultant (along with a few others) to...

I feel like we have been pretty lucky so far getting paper. We're in the midwest and do about 150-200k clicks/month on 1 press. We have been fortunate that we have been able to get stock in. Actually have 3 pallets of coated paper arriving to our shop tomorrow for a large job we run. But ill...

The chip thing for Xerox is because they’ve caught people selling contract supplies. The chip distinct a bottle between contract supplies and 3rd party vendors.

I’d be fired up if a tech wanted to use 10k sheets of mine. I’m sure they wouldn’t settle for 8.5x11 20lb either. Hell I get a little feisty when I walk in after a tech has been there and see a stack of 16pt on the tray lol.

So I’ve had some random toner bottles that the machine wouldn’t read. Idk about other brands, but I can take and wait until the same color toner gets down to 10% then take the chip from that bottle and put on the bottle that the machine isn’t reading. Been pretty successful doing in this time...

Agreed. We love our techs as well. We love our local dealer as well too. He’s always helping us out through these tough time’s in getting supplies. But I’d hate to think X is going to keep being this unreliable with parts. Also, remote techs used to be great. Now I feel bad when our service...

Doesn’t BlanksUSA or another company make the pockets with tape on them? So all you have to do is print your folder, crease and then stick the pocket on if I’m not mistaken. Pocket might even be printable as well.
