Advantage binding is in MD, also Wert in PA

Maybe start simple; flip cut stick, move knife down, build up under cut stick

If you have to ask...

Komori was very hungry to get an install of their OEM KM1, they put one into Worth Higgins for free and only charge clicks, that is one way to make the ROI work

ROI falls apart, just like indigo 10000 + 12000, but when you raise the ROI and TCO the sales person just talks about some kind of high margin unicorn job that doesn’t exist to make the numbers not look utterly ridiculous or a case study on Shutterfly. Take any normal commercial job that is...

Yeah looks like it’s not backtrimmed, any digital on 120# even on a newly sharpened carbide blade would be rough with that kind of coverage unless it’s backtrimmed

Had one, actually still sitting in back of the warehouse (free to good home but you have to move it and pay to set it back up), it was not bad for first couple years back in the day, but like anything that the Germans and Israelis collaborate on it was over engineered and plagued with...

Ahhh, another opportunity to bash HP, someone said you could run this job on indigo 12000, let’s do the math: 72 pages = 9 sigs 3500 sheets per sig and 2 sides 3500x9x2=63,000 impressions 63000 x .09 per = $5670 check to HP screw sunk cost, at 1.3 million press payment you are on the hook for...

If I had a nickel for every shop that indigo has put out of business... way overkill for startup, keep overhead really low, see if local Ricoh or KMC dealer has a trade in or demo, play up the startup angle, partner up with trade offset and/or someone with indigo and start building your volume...

Vanguard is rebranded flora

Erik nailed it about offset not pushing back to digital printing, it’s easy to fall in the trap, digital is easier, cleaner, new innovations are in your face, but I am very bullish on offset these days, obviously the 100 save the date cards go digital, but 700 - 24 page booklet job still goes...

It is a wheel or pendulum, marketers are big on “me too”, so they pushed hard digital, but at the end of the day it comes down to ROI, so I think we will see some of the all digital resellers pushing out printed direct mail and small calalogs to keep customers engaged (don’t look for the...

Ricoh has the hot hand these days, I have been indigo customer for a decade, but seriously considering the switch, HP getting hammered in my local market, they are still tone deaf, whenever high price of machine and service cost are brought up all they want to talk about is fluorescent pink and...

Think summa is good for straight plotting, but esko and zund really good icut integration, and ability to cut anything with the right tooling, I have to do some routing and don't think summa or mimaki have really figured it out, and the extra money kind of buys the piece of mind that in 10 years...

Got a v table in June, no real exp with other brands, and have not needed service so cannot speak to above, but I was one the fence and worried about speed, but I think it a good machine, we do lots of kiss cut, small labels so speed not a real factor, when u do larger stuff you spend more time...

That is not my point, you can train a one armed monkey to run a one color press, but you will not be able to make any money on that job, when the guy down the street can do it on a 6 color 40" press in 2 hours and is slitting wrists to get work in the door...

Crazy, outsource that one job in a heartbeat, offset is so much more then even just a press and being able to run it add in plate making that could be up to a 100k by itself for a good thermal solution, and the fact you would even entertain running a quarter mill impressions thru a pres 4 times...

The lesson learned, if you start at beginning OP says, cannot be the ink, vendor says it is the same formula, after checking 100 other variables he changes ink and bam, problem solved, in press trouble shooting you have to actually change a variable before you summarily rule it out, or blindly...

With a syringe pump flush directly into that channel, then run all the different ink priming functions

Does it have same size feeder, ie will older straight shooter feeders work with 931?
