Anyone have the Intec ColorCut FB8000

[azehnali]

I am having issues with the crease pressure on the color cut
wanted to see if anyone has the colorcut FB8000 and how their performance is

I don't have a FB8000 but did have an on FB900. We also had issues with crease pressure and think it's just the limitation of the ball bearing creasing tool vs a wheel. Two passes helped a little and slowing it right down but still not good enough to send out.
Most of what we creased on that machine ended up being re-creased using a piece of straight creasing rule and custom tool.

what gsm paper are you using
100 pound cover which is probably 250 gsm seams to work fine
the samples that intec provided on 300 gsm seam perfect which makes no sense

also do you have the pressure at 900 and the crease screw maxed out?

 

[joshlindsay]

Mostly 300gsm and 350gsm Satin sometimes laminated.
Yeah pressure was maximum. Not sure the crease screw was adjustable on our one.

We've since sold and upgraded to an auto-fed Jwei with a wheel.
