Hi there. Bit of a puzzle. Works fine on coated stocks (both satin and gloss). Uncoated a different story. Lucky if we get one in three through. (spits them out the reject slot). We have tried different positions, thickness etc. Strangely enough it does seems better if we leave the job...

Hi there. Just scored myself an old DC 646. Being a private purchase pretty up to myself to workout the setup. I'm running flux on my Konica 4070. I'm guessing I can make myself some basic Pdf templates?. (just wanting to do some basic cutting at this stage e.g. x21 business cards, x6 up DLs...

Hi there. Pdf created in Canva. (supplied by customer) Is there a quick way to move these in adobe acrobat? (see attached, this screenshot is not from the actual file). I don't want to open the file in illustrator (for obvious reasons). I could do it in pitstop, keeping in mind I have a very...

Hi there. Just a silly little problem. See attached. I had to pull both the side covers off my old DBM-120. Obviously I have now put back. I have turned on and off. Pull power cord out. I'm guessing there is a mico sensor somewhere? Any thoughts much appreciated. thanks Simon

Hi there. Bit of a strange one. Has anyone out there had any success downgrading their guillotine?. When I say downgrade, I mean still being able to use when the electronics pack up. I'm looking at purchasing another guillotine. It will need to be reasonably old (this is all I can afford)...

Hi there. I've scored myself one of these. (Old I know! but real cheap). I see I can run it from adobe illustrator but just wondering how far back do I have to go? (what version?). Anyone cutting from AI CC ? It looks like I have to run it under Win7,Win8 or Win 10. Shame as I'm more of a Mac...

Hi there. Looking to purchase one on these. (or similar type of machine). Needs to be in good nick and reasonable price. Prefarbly one that has not done a huge amount of work. Maybe a dealer has an ex-demo machine? (In the unlikely event any dealers are reading this). If coming from the states...

Hi there. Looking to purchase one of these. (going or not). It has to be this exact model. (preferably 1995-2000 model) The reason being I have one of these here (not going) that I want to use as parts. I know its a long shot but I have to try. thanks Simon

Around 23k (New Zealand dollars) added to the purchase price on a C4070 for adding the IQ . How good is the standard alignment process. (the old fashion way, print from machine and scanning on the glass). I guess if your flat out busy all the time it would be worth it but otherwise?. The...

Not sure if this is the right place to post. ? This has scam written all over it. (in so many ways) Your thoughts? Don't worry I have not clicked on the link. thanks Simon PS it did have my full name on it. (which I have obviously removed).

Hi there. I'm used to larger guillotines than this little EBA. I cut quite a bit of self adhesive. There doesn't seem to be any way to clean the blade other than removing the whole blade. (as in doing a blade change). As you can image this is a real pain when the blade doesn't need changing. It...

Hi there. "Well... this is awkward" Bloody hell it is! Is it a coincidence? CWS seems to be crashing heaps since I have upgraded my Mac OS Cws 6.5.0.56. OS now Sonoma 14.3.1. Didn't want to go to the hassle of doing a roll back if it's nothing to do with it. Help much appreciated. ta Simon

I'm upgradinging my box. Old v2100 to not quite so old V3100i. Issue is- The front end is no longer going to be a Fiery. Sorry can't remember what's its called CX ? something like that?. (I'm guessing Fuji film/fuji Xerox had a falling out with Fiery). Anyway! Looking at getting a Duplo DC-618...

Hi there. I have posted this previously, but I thought I'd open up again as it's getting very close to crunch time. For the sake of this discussion let's assume service is the same on both. Which machine is better? - Consistent registration. Colour consistency. Rolling good solids. Ease of...

Hi there. I have a very fussy customer. I'm printing text and a logo over a solid. I get a very fine white line around the text and the logo is fine. If I play around with settings in my command workstation (black overprint, auto trapping etc..) I can swap it so the text is fine but there there...

Let the battle commece:). I know all the usual issues. But lets just assume levels of support are the same. Type of work is the same. Looking at- Colour consistency on longish runs (especially solids) Registration Speed Range of stock. thin to thick Not to worried about finishing options (I...

Hi there. Oldish Duplo DBM120 booklet maker. Is it just me? or does anyone else out there have problems installing new staple rolls. I get there eventually (after wasting heaps of staples pulling them through ) My staple heads are well used. worth purchasing new heads?. (I see them on eBay)...

Hi there. A4 for my American friends is 210mm x297mm. Folded to 210mm x 99mm. To fit into a standard DLE envelope. Saddle stitched on the long edge. Normally 80gsm to 120gsm and 8 to 12pages. (self cover) Not that it makes any difference to my problem but they are finished offline on my...

Staff member mis-reads job bag. Prints x1000. (should have been x500 as the job was 2up) Do you- 1/Throw x 500 in the bin! and take a long walk before you do/say something you will regret. 2/Put x 500 on the shelf ( in the very remote chance that the customer will order again with no changes...

Hi there, tossing up between these two. 646. on the + side The 646 is an older machine (cheaper) + according to the spec sheet is a little faster. The 618 is hard to get hold of second hand ( I can't afford a new one and even if I could the ROI does not really add up). 618. on the + side...
