    Digital Booklets - Inline or Offline

    There are various options for bookletmakers/saddlestichers for a digital device or multiple devices. I am of the opinion that an in-line bookletmaker is best when all you have is one machine dedicated to doing just that. If you have multiple digital devices, an off-line or near-line system works...

    MGI Meteor DP60

    Sayed, The MGI Meteor DP60 is a great choice for multiple substrates. Given the fact that you want to print on both plastic and paper substrates and like the format size it is a no-brainer. No other cut sheet digital press can print that size in a production mode.

    MGI vs Indigo

    Good question! you probably can but it would be time consuming in the long run. I think you could take your jobs and find out what the average coverage is and price from there or use the PIA standards, I believe it's 34% for USA more if you are a photo printer. Who wants gloss!!?! Many people...

    Has anyone purchased a used IGEN?

    I know a guy who bought one for $43K and spent near $100K getting it set up including the new room he had to construct with HVAC control. Make sure you find out all of the hidden costs before you make a decision.

    Which digital press should I purchase?

    What size are the postcards? If you are running 200K to 500K postcards then I assume you will run them multiple up on a 12 x 18, 13 x 19 or larger.
