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...

Hi there. Fastest way to add bleeds to a supplied PDF file. ? Hard to beat the old simply blow up by 1-2 % method. I use this about 80% of the time. (I never have had a customer notice the image was larger), but of course you can't do this when there is text/logos very close to the trim...

Hi there, The title says it all. I can't see any reason why I can't use the middle sheet (CFB) as a replacement for the bottom sheet (CF) when I have to. I realise CFB is more expensive, it's just that some time I run out a specific colour in CF (carbon front) and it would be very handy to...

Hi there. Interested in getting members feedback on this- We seem to be wasting a huge amount of time (and expense) sourcing the correct size cartons. (most of our jobs are couriered). Corrugated cartons are not cheap ( not professional enough using used ones and they often have printing on...

Can't seem to track down anyone with the agency for Duplo down under. Not New Zealand want Australian. Link anyone? ta Simon

Hi there. Any feed back on this would be appreciated. Desperately need a back up machine. (Techs can be very slow turning up). Currently running a Fuji Xerox V2100. (yes I know, old) My budget only really allows for a v180 or a v3100. (unfortunately my budget won't stretch to a v3100i) The...

Hi there. My scanner has a broken top feed tray. This is a 12year+ old scanner so next to impossible to get parts for. I know a bit of a long shot but thought I'd throw it out there. Or if anyone knows of a site I can get something like this off. I am keeping my eye one bay, gumtree, trader...

Any one out there done this? Just wanted to get some feedback before I purchase the accessories required. I'm not to concerned if it takes quite awhile to set up as I'm happy to leave it as dedicated perforated. I have another folding machine. Straightness of perf, eveness of depth and...

It's been quite awhile since I have done any perfect bound books. A or B for grain direction. (see attached) I don't want the covers to curl when completed. Sorry! I know a real basic question, (I shouldn't have to ask). thanks Simon
