A rotary numbering system would be a better choice for runs of this length. They are more versatile than a impact-style numbering machine like the Graphic Wizard and much faster. With a rotary numbering machine you could number your tickets 4 up or 8 up or however many will fit on the sheet and...

We've got a manual creaser from Morgana that works very well. No cracking on digital. Morgana Products Creasers DocuCrease 35 - 52 I've seen copy-cat creasers on Ebay for considerably less than what I paid for the Morgana. Don't know if they work as well or not. RB Sun Enterprises has a...

You have already gotten some good advice but I have a few more tips. I haven't ran a Ryobi 3302, but I have ran an Hamada H234 which is very similar. 1. Since it has push guides instead of pull guides, in order to get the best registration your paper needs to be grain short when feeding...

I would recommend you subscribe to Larry Hunt's Color Copier and BW Copier newsletters. He collects and tabulates pricing and service agreements along with service and equipment satisfaction ratings from print-for-pay facilities across the US and then publishes them monthly. Gives you a great...

The Speedmaster is unarguably a more capable press, but as long as the 3304 includes the console option I'm not sure I would agree with that statement. I don't think the Speedmaster is THAT much more automated than the 3304, although I'm not intimately familiar with the automation on...

Also I forgot - I believe the max image length on a 3304 is 17.25" which makes printing 2-up 8.5x11 with bleeds, color bars and cut marks a tight fit. You have to have a very skinny color bar and small bleeds. With good metal plates I wouldn't think a 3304 would have any problems printing line...

I've never ran a 3304 but having spoken with people who have you should keep in mind that although it is a 4 color, it is still a 12x18 portrait-fed duplicator and will be lacking in some of the features that a larger, true landscape 14x20 press would have. Mainly: No bearer to bearer contact...

If you are using InDesign for your trapping I think you can use the Ink Manger to accomplish what you want. In the Ink Manger change the ink type of the TextPlate swatch from Normal to Transparent and then I believe it will overprint all other separations. I haven't actually tried this to...

I believe PrintingSupply is correct - the Husrt SmartPlates, DA Genie plates, BaseLine LaserPlates and several of the other laser plate brands are all actually manufactured by TechNova (TechNova Home). The Myriad plates are manufactured by Agfa, but Xante is the exclusive distributor of them...

I saw it at Graph Expo also. Halftone screening had that inkjet dither look to it which always seems a little grainy to me in comparison to traditional AM screening. Epson told me they are working on a stochastic screening option that should result in smoother halftones but it isn't ready for...

We've got the RipIt 300 and we're pleased with it. Simple, reliable, has a robust rip based on an a genuine Adobe interpreter. The imaging unit is small enough that you can ship it via ground, so if you do have problems with it you can ship it to Xante for repair as opposed to paying for a...

Yes, that is correct. See the KBA Genius 52 for an example of this. Why do most presses have multiple small form rollers? That I can't answer.

We had some damage in the chrome cylinders of a small duplicator repaired by Brodie System in Linden, NJ. The repair was done in press by spray metalizzing with stainless steel. They are one of the big names in press cylinder repair. The repaired area works perfectly.
