Hi there,

I'm a photographer and I'm in the process of making my first photo book. I've been collecting a lot of photo books over the years and I've noticed that most of them are printed in China or Singapore, so I'm guessing there's a good quality/price ratio. I don't intend to make large quantities of the book (somewhere between 200/400 edition) but I aim to do a quality book with great finishing touches.

Here are some examples of what I'm looking for in printing:

Can anyone advise me on this? Which printing companies are specialized on this kind of book/printing?

Thank you and regards,

Dave

We have a Thompson Manufactoring Company T-100 envelope feeder purchased new 7 or 8 years ago. Four different press operators have struggled with it, in an attempt to make it feed envelopes. None of them can make it feed. In the time we have had it we haven't used it for possibly 25,000 envelopes. Usually struggling with it so much we just put it away and finish printing the envelope job.

It is fairly simple and there is little to adjust. The separator finger is set at about 1/4 inch and then adjusted ever so slightly up and down. No matter what adjustment I cannot make it stream envelopes evenly. It usually puts them in groups of 5-6 and then will break the stream, which will jam the feeder. Does anyone out there who is operating this envelope feeder have any suggestions as far as adjustment. The back roller under the belt is just off the back of the envelope. The side guides are not too tight. Neither the feed belt nor anything else on the machine is worn.

The company gave me limited suggestions but nothing has worked to date.

Thanks

Hello everybody!

One of our customers is looking for a 5 colors B1 machine. He already received a firm offer from KBA in Germany for a brand new KBA Rapida 105-5 (2012). I'm not sure if that 2012 will come with new advantages since this is a DRUPA year, but still it is a very competitive machine.

We're trying to convince him on considering a "like new" 2nd hand equipment. I already found some very interesting options in the market, but still struggling to convince our customer.

We are basically offering him the following 4 options:

- Heidelberg SM CD 102 (pre DRUPA 2008) (2005-2007, even 2008)
- Heidelberg SM CD 102 (post DRUPA 2008)
- Heidelberg XL 105-5 (pre DRUPA 2008) (2005-2007)
- Heidelberg XL 105-5 (post DRUPA 2008)

Of course, each option differs in term of equipment capabilities, technological advances and, most evidently, on price (which is one key factor in this deal).

Since we're competing with a new equipment proposal, our offer has to be very strong and attractive in terms of post sale service. Our customer is requiring us to include commissioning (Professional installation, Operators training & Mechanical / Electrical warranty).

What can you comment? Any suggestion on how we may approach the customer? How must we explain the real advantages and differences between both options (new and used)? What about the differences between the available options within used equipment?

If I was buying, I would go eyes closed with Heidelberg (due to its strong presence in Mexico and his service and parts assistance). KBA is small and recent here and may be a disadvantage in terms of service. But it all ends up to our customer final decision.

It's quite a challenge.

Hello everyone. I'm semi-new to managing a In-Plant print shop and I would like a little help with quoting jobs for my fellow employees(customers). What is the exact equation needed? I have the price per click and can figure price per sheet of paper. I greatly appreciate it!!!!

During my fuser tank maintenance I noticed granule sediment. Could not figure out where is came from till I pulled out the heat rod of the meter roll. Wow what a mess. I cleaned it up as best I could. Does anyone think that this sediment could cause random intermittent deletions that look like fuser picking artifacts? Attached Thumbnails

Hi guys. We are in the process of buying a 2 colour press. What is the difference between sm &pm .i have had offers of sm74-2 and now i received a offer for a pm74-2. Which machine would be better to get ? The sm74-2 is a 1998 model equipped with al the automatic washers etc. The pm on the other hand is a 2002 model and in very neat cond. Whats the difference between autoplate and easy plate? I've heard that the print master has very little automation ? Please help. Thanks guys

OK, I hate this machine BUT I'm going to make the most of it. I'm running some letter sized paper through, get about 100 sheets in and the machine makes a loud sudden noise, then it's a loud humming vibrating sound so I hit stop. Then it won't move, apperas to be jammed. After searching for a LONG time I see some paper dust in a pile on the left side of the infeed wheels so I pull the eye and top plate then pull the bottom plate and see an old envelope wrapped up in the feed wheel gear. Took me about an hour to get it all out of the gear and then another hour trying to dig out envelopes through the hole on the side cause I couldn't get to that area to pull out the dropped envelopes. Some of them were envelopes I never even printed, they were from the previous owner of the machine. Point is how can I get to that area right behind the the feeder, or the easiest way.

I need touchscreen for my sm52-4 2001 cp 2000
The part is elo touchscreen system 362740-9121

So, I am very new to printing. I was given a 9800 when a company went out of business. I tried to print some of my work and I was not pleased with the results. Then I learned a little bit about color management and got a monitor calibrator. I am still not happy with the prints.

I guess the next thing to do is purchase a rip. I have been looking at the color burst and a few others and the prices are expensive.

Is a rip what I need to get the desired outcome? My desired outcome is a close match to what I see on my monitor. If so, what are you guys using with the 9800?

Is there any way to tell where the offending issue is?

I'm running the worst crap and I can't make any headway with all of the paper path cleaning I'm doing. The iGen is just sitting while I can't find these issues. I've had to restart a few times.
