    Hardware suggestions - 350gsm full bleed duplex

    He said solid vector images often with full color backgrounds. That's a lot of toner he's talking about. Seeing artwork would be best, but I would estimate a little high.

    Hardware suggestions - 350gsm full bleed duplex

    ... and toner costs on the Oki will probably be upwards of .25 per sheet whereas the bigger production machines will be closer to .03 per sheet. $.22 (the difference) x 10,000 impressions per month = $2200 more per month to run the Oki compared to a production machine. All of a sudden the...

    What is the "right' Envelope color printer for a 300-600k a month volume.

    You print on regular 60lb - 70lb paper on anywhere from 11x17 up to 13x19 sheets (usually 2-3 envelopes up on a sheet) and send them to someone who has the equipment to die cut and fold/glue them together. You get back finished envelopes. For variable data runs, you could print the...

    What is the "right' Envelope color printer for a 300-600k a month volume.

    For that volume you either need to a few envelope printers or you need to be printing on flat sheets and having them converted into envelopes post printing. Maybe a combination of both?

    Paper or digital—What’s your preference?

    A few months ago I was stuck on hold and decided to log in and view my fedex account. It turns out they over billed me by $2500 in one month alone! Took a while but they reimbursed it to me. Really makes me question electronic/auto billing moving forward.

    Anyone else having problems with Westrock Tango/Carolina lately?

    We've used this stuff for 12 years problem free, and our last pallet and a test case have been a nightmare. We faithfully crease everything we fold and lately the paper itself is tearing when folded. It's also literally peeling in half, leaving us with 2 thin sheets of paper (think 2 ply toilet...

    Cannabis (aka wackee tabacee) is now legal across Canaduh

    Absolutely they will stop you at the border. Here in Detroit (right across from Windsor) there have been several news stories reminding people that it's still illegal to bring it into the US. The drinking age in Canada is 19 so lots of teenagers from Detroit cross the border on the weekends to...

    Guilletine cutter brands

    To be fair, the Titan series isn't their high end, commercial print line of paper cutters. Comparing them to a Polar is unreasonable. How much time do you (or one of your employees) spend on your cutter daily?

    Canada hits back at U.S. with dollar-for-dollar tariffs

    I'm not convinced. I think it HELPS US manufacturing of those raw materials. Will there be an adjustment period: sure. Will the US be just fine with out Canadian aluminum: yep. Canada, however, may feel far more long term pain from shuttered mills that devastate entire regions. (Think rustbelt...

    Canada hits back at U.S. with dollar-for-dollar tariffs

    US is putting tariffs on hard goods while the rest of the world is putting tariffs on food and other disposable items. I think that shows the strength of the US negotiating position. Not saying I'm for or against any of this, just an observation.
