I'm note quite done with my digging but it looks like, though the DesignJets are solid, their auto sheet feeder doesn't work with larger than 11 x 17 or 13 x 19 (can't recall which). Pretty sure it's 11 x 17. I'd like an auto sheet feeder that works with up to 17 x 22 paper. So I looked at...

Very interesting. I hadn't thought of a plotter as an option. Do you know how they compare to a standard inkjet in terms of color and graphics? Though sharp text is my first priority, the posters I'm doing do have some background graphics. Thx

In a couple of years, I'll add a zero, but yeah. I'm looking at printers such as the Epson SureColor P900 but I know there are a couple of similar options.

Hello to all and thanks in advance. I'm looking for an inkjet printer with the following characteristics: 1-The sharpest printing possible of black text, at all font sizes but of particular interest are font sizes under 7pt or so. 2-The ability to print 17 x 22 inch paper would be a good...

Good reminder

I haven't sold the press yet and have no committments. Currently my eBay listing doesn't offer shipping, just local pickup. I wanted to educate myself and possibly offer freight shipping. I'll check out Mayflower and Uship - thank you.

This approach would be my preferred approach, without a doubt. I just wasn't sure which is more common - for the buyer to be the responsible shipper, vs the seller. I imagine it increases my changes to sell the press if I facilitate the shipping. Not all potential buyers are going to know how...

I called Craters and Freighters and found the folks who answered the phone to be very personable and willing to answer questions. Since they're based on Pheonix, they're looking into whether they do Albuquerque pickups at all. So TBD.

Thx. I just spoke with them and they only do local or tristate pickups that don't include Albuquerque, NM.

Hello all. I have a Xerox Versant 180 that I'm in the process of selling, but I'm new to shipping via freight and need to do some learning quickly. Can anybody recommend a good freight carrier who knows how to safely pack and transport digital presses? I'm located in Albuquerque, NM but...

I have content ready to go. I may make some changes to make the cutting in the bleed area easier for someone else. It's not an expertise thing, I just don't expect someone else to spend as much time on this as I do. There is one local printer here in Albuquerque who does some really cool...

Hi. I'm looking for a print supplier who does padding of memo pads with a different design on each page. Currently the number of designs/pages is 50. At the moment, I print such memo pads digitally and pad them, but I'm looking to move away from production and leave it to the pros. There are...

Dan, I'm horrified to see that my email was never sent. Regarding my original post, can I still email you details? It's only 8 months later. :)

I had similar issues with my Versant 180 a couple of years ago. The Xerox technicians claimed they'd never seen such a phenomenon. They tried replacing various parts, one certainly being fuser. The original was put back when we saw the issue still occurred. Their informal verdict was that...

We are a small local print shop that is changing directions and has a variety of gear to offer. I'll update this post as I get other items ready to offer. All are used in great working order, unless I mention otherwise. Most of the items are listed in Albuquerque Craigslist, some are on eBay...

Your point is well-taken. Now I'm looking at used cutters as well, still in the tabletop size range and an entry level semi-automatic with digital backgauge display. I'm looking at a few Challenge Spartan 150SA listings on eBay. I just don't have room for a large machine right now - my shop...

A local dealer told me I'm better off with Triumph than Formax in general because Triumph is German and the Formax machines are made in China. This dealer has a good reputation, so maybe he's right? Regarding used vs new, I do both. In this case, if I'm going to have a cutter with me for...

Hi and thank you in advance for feedback. I'm looking at an entry level semi-automatic cutter for my home shop. Based on space constraints even more than budget, I'm looking at the Triumph 4315 and Formax 22S. The two have almost identical feature sets but I haven't been able to get any...

Hi. I'm evaluating entry-level PUR binders and Fastbind's two offerings - the Neo and Smart are appealing in terms of price. There's also their XT PUR binder but it's not the latest and greatest. Not that this makes it bad by any means, but I want to get any and every edge possible in...

That's very helpful info, thank you. The quality of my work is important, so it's a good reminder that problems won't be immediately noticeable. Perhaps it's time to find a good (and easy to use) 14" roll laminator.
