Morning All,
We have a DUPLO DC-645, we got it many moons ago (about 6 years ago) to cut/crease digital print. Long story short we made a move away from digital print to focus on our litho offering, the machine was doing a pretty good job, accuracy was pretty good and the crease would work most of the time but was prone to problems.
About 3 years ago the creasing tool wasn't performing that well, and because we were tending not to use the machine we didn't bother fixing it. Fast forward to today, we've got back into digital printing, got some really great kit and really want to get the Duplo working again.
We're being quoted around £15K to get the DC645 creasing again. This is obviously a lot of cash and we have been trying to find out from Duplo (with no success) can the DC645 crease print from the Kodak Nexpress without cracking occurring, is anyone running a Nexpress and using the DC645, i don't want to shell out all this money and then find the repair worked but the creasing tool isn't suitable for nexpress toner.
Also, has anyone had the rotary creaser fitted, we were interested in putting this in too, so we could put B3 sheets through convert to 2 A4's creased to go out the door. How is this tool for cracking?
Many thanks in advance
Tim
