Thanks again for even more good info.

Thanks guys for all of the help! The job was just finished and billed and thanks to you mattbeals I don't feel like we were way out of line at 3.5 cents per page. This was our first job like this and we just didn't know where to start at pricing it. As always the people here were a great help.

Is there some other place I should post this question or it this something that no one is able or willing to help with? Thanks

I have no clue where this should be posted but I am in desperate need of help in pricing a job that I have been informed is already in process. It seems that a client just dropped off 3,281 pages and needs them scanned to PDF and burned to CD in two days. We have never done anything like this...

Thanks for the response Craig – We had a new cutter from Challenge converted to single phase by the dealer when we bought it many years ago but at the moment, I'm more interested in what I can do about used equipment

I would just like to mention that the skill and craftsmanship of letterpress printing like my father taught me won't please the modern designer. I was taught to use the lightest pressure possible to achieve a good image and it was never acceptable to be able to see or feel an impression on the...

I am looking for a good used Sterling Digibinder. I would prefer the Digibinder Plus which has dust extraction but would take either model that is in good condition and available immediately. Thanks

Can any one help me with information on using a Variable Frequency Drive as a phase converter on printing and binding equipment? I know that a lot of people use them on wood working tools when 3 phase power is unavailable but I need to know if all of the electronics in modern printing equipment...

Can anyone tell me if a Kompac II Colormate made for AB Dick 385 will fit an AB Dick 9890 (both are 17 1/2" x 22 1/2" presses)? Thanks for any help.

Robert, I can't say for sure about the 1218 but on the 4750 both Toko and ProPrint there was a buckle added by Swanneck. Look on the feed end and just to the left of the table height adjustment is a dial on the frame numbered I think from 1-12. I've been told by more than one Toko service man...

Oki C941 has option for Clear or White as 5th color. There is a video on youtube about it…I'm waiting for some sample output and pricing

kswichael, As you know with the copper roller/aquamatic system the dampener rollers are inked up and not intended to run clean/ink free. The Ajax advice is good tried and true method for cleaning the copper roller scotch brite pad is another good method. Be sure to clean and rinse well. Follow...

My HP 5000 is showing its age and a salesman has proposed a HP M806 to replace it as a laser platemaker. Does anyone have any comments on this printer as a platemaker? Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know if the Chinese made ProPrint (previously Toko when they were Japanese produced) are still being imported and sold in the US? I have a press that is still in very good shape except it needs the hard rollers replaced and I can't locate a dealer. I really appreciate any help!

I know it's a longshot but any chance printer is still available?

I know this is an old thread but I just saw it and thought someone may benefit from this link: printshop101.com We used this several years ago with new employees and it was a great way to give them a headstart to learning the printing business. I haven't looked at it lately so I" not sure how...

May not be of any help to you but the first thing I always do when having a solenoid is to remove the plunger and clean it and the inside of the solenoid to remove any traces of oil that may have found its way into it. This has solved the problem of a sticking solenoid for me more times than...
