    Round creasing lines

    Hi Bret, thank you for your reply and the picture. Making a die would be the first step (clear to me, we have done this before). In your example, the creasing lines are all straight. The question was about the curved creasing lines – the creasing matrix is usually rigid, thus it's not possible...

    Round creasing lines

    We haven been asked to manufacture a "pillow box" (see image w/ dieline attached) and were wondering how to handle the round creasing lines (to be creased/diecut on a Heidelberg Tiegel). Any input on this topic much appreciated!

    Duplo iSaddle v Horizon Stitchliner 6000 v ?

    Would really appreciate this forum's input on this, especially by users who have had experience with both systems. We are currently looking at the Stitchliner 6000 and the Duplo iSaddle 5.0. We're looking at 20 stations / two towers as anything above this (80+ pages), as well as thin substrates...

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    Very good insight. Recycled paper will most probably have a significant impact. I've reached out to a couple manufacturers to see what they're saying regarding runability of their low bulk substrates on KMs.

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    @kslight - good observation. The 51g material we're using in our offset press is cut to size for us (from a roll).

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    40# = approx. 60 gsm (?). We're trying to find a substrate that runs on a toner-based / sheet-fed machine at max. 51 gsm with 1,00 bulk multiplier (i.e. around 50 cm3/g).

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    Thank you all for your hints and additional questions. We've tried a variety of things machine-side and I don't think we'll get this substrate to run in an efficient/productive way over the course of long runs (which we are aiming for). The burning question to me is: which low-volume (and low...

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    @jwheeler and @DYP – here are a couple of additional details: duplex print tried both short grain and long grain (with short grain not even one sheet made it through) not using any finishing equipment it's failing in the engine, mostly after image is transferred to the substrate when a sheet...

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    We've had a couple of very experienced technicians have a go at it, without success. They're currently researching a list of low-volume substrates to propose as alternatives.

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    We want to transfer smaller runs of 1/1-colored jobs from our offset machine to our Konica Minolta 6120 (vacuum feeder). The 51gsm paper we’re using for our offset press (low volume, high opacity, recyling) won’t run on the 6120 at all (and we’ve had several highly experienced technicians give...

    1st Installation in the UK of the Duplo PFi Blade B3 cutting table

    Because of a significant price difference between the Duplo and Vivid pre-negotiation (> EUR 4.000!!) and the proximity of a dealer/technician to our location I'm reconsidering a Vivid/Veloblade machine (Veloblade Volta 64/69 – VeloBlade Volta 64 | Digital Die Cutting Systems | Vivid Laminating)...

    1st Installation in the UK of the Duplo PFi Blade B3 cutting table

    Quick research showed that this seems to be an "aftermarket" tool. Any hints on where to source this? What were your results when trying the embossing feature?

    1st Installation in the UK of the Duplo PFi Blade B3 cutting table

    @sidneykidney and @Ynot_UK We're thinking about investing into a digital die cutting system as well. I did some research and there are quite a few providers available on the market, next to Duplo and Vivid. Many of them offering the same machine under a different brand name (Jwei LS, iEcho PK...

    @kdw75 Thanks for this detailed answer! I have an offer for an almost new (showroom/fair use only, 250k clicks) 7100 on the table, with a 36 months maintenance contract (after which they won't support it anymore – end of life). The machine specs: Built in 2016, banner sheet tray, EFI RIP (as...

    @kdw75 - thank you and the other contributors for their real-world experience with the 7100. 1.5 years into it: would you add anything to your initial review? i'm particularly interested in how they've been holding up generally? how is the registration after a prolonged use? whether you've...
