    How does your company file projects once complete?

    We also file by job number. My software automatically adds a folder to my server with JobNo - ClientCode - JobName so we can sort by latest jobs. For reprints we do the exact same. Didn't seem worth having a seperate process. For very regular jobs/clients we'll make a colour guide which we keep...

    How does your company file projects once complete?

    Our production job ticket comes from our own quote/job system. It is printed and stapled in a C4 envelope -these were printed for a job years ago that got cancelled at the last minute. Samples are put in there after the job is done and they are filed in job number order in filing cabinets...

    Paper Banding machine recommendation

    I've got one of the cash ones of AliExpress. It's been pretty good. Needed a replacement blade and some adjustments but that was after wrapping 30k packs. All in all we're pretty happy with it. Had some clients who used to request shrink wrapped in quantities that we have switched over using...

    Fiery replacement

    Thanks Si. Was one of them the petal fan one? That went ahead and looked great. As your 2100 will be going to scrap ask if you can keep the fiery - or even just slide it out of the way when the press is all wrapped up.

    Fiery replacement

    The Fuji GX RIP is great. We prefer it to the Fiery's we used to have. In terms of integration with Duplo, there is none built in, although it does have a great imposition engine built in. We don't use any barcodes or such on the Duplo. Just have a standard set of jobs (which I will say is...

    Fiery impose licenses

    I'm a very happy user of Imposition Wizard. It has the power of Quite and is really visual. Haven't found anything I don't like about it in 3 or so years.

    Folding A4 saddle stitched booklet to DL. Can it be done?

    Hey Si, I hand feed these into my Morgana Digifold creaser folder. Doesn't do an amazing job but good enough.

    Digital over runs. What do you do?

    Have just moved factories in the last week and tried that in with installation of a new Revoria. Moving.... I don't rate it. Ahhhhh that's a bummer. Maybe when you're opening the jobs have them write up a simple digital job sheet where they need to factor in the copies required, number up and...

    Digital over runs. What do you do?

    Hey Si, We'd just wear it and remind the staff member to be more careful. We seem to have the same learning exp with all staff as to whether something is single or double sided. 2500 letters printed double sided that were meant to be single Not so fun. If it's on a decent card stock you can...

    creasing on Versant 280

    We have the same problem on Condat Gloss 115gsm on our Iridesse and Versant 2100. Assumed it was just too thin to run. To fix on the Iridesse we back off the fuser temp and pressure roller. Assume you can do same on Versant.

    Adding Print and Mail?

    That is a really bloody good idea. Hopefully we see it come into play.

    EVA Perfect Binding

    We have a basic Duplo binder which was installed using Planamelt Pro. Haven't had any issues with pull test. https://www.planatol.de/en/planamelt-pro-erweitert-die-ausgezeichnete-planamelt-produktfamilie/

    Iridesse to Ricoh/Konica

    Yeah the Versant is pretty good with envelopes. They are taking it out as Fuji has a 10 year life on their machine and are are claiming and can no longer service it. The 180 will be an ex-lease unit and included at very little cost - which begs the questions, why doesn't my Iridesse which is...

    Iridesse to Ricoh/Konica

    Thanks for the great reply. If we switched, my plan was to initially go with the Ricoh and if really needed add the KM. The Iridesse is a great machine and the 6 colours makes specialty colour work really easy but the lease payments are just too much for my volume. What Xerox presses did you...

    Iridesse to Ricoh/Konica

    Hey Printers! My Iridesse and Versant 2100 and coming end of lease. Would keep but Fuji are asking an exorbitant amount to keep for another term. Sadly I didn't consider a lease to own or $1 buy out at the beginning as historically we haven't had a press worth anything after 5 years. We're...

    Ijet color 1175

    The 1175 looks interesting. Do you have a rough price for it? Hopefully substantially less than the 1175 Pro.

    Pamphlet/Booklet/Book Layout Software

    Nah, Imposition Wizard is much easier. I felt with Imposition Studio the need for templates is big. With Wizard I don't bother. Super easy.
