  2. Inventory Management

    Why not make a simple excel spreadsheet and have the IOH, Projected Usage and Actual Usage numbers to allow for a quick review of what you have, what is needed and when to order, and also to see what the dollar value of IOH is? Inital inventory is required then a followup every 6 weeks or so...

  4. Riso Gr 3750

    I agree with HPC - solid machine, very simple but old technology - seems like double what I would pay for it.

    I have been using JAM papers and envelope and they are great, I have bought as few as 5 envelopes on a specialty order.
  6. Where is the best place to work??

    I drive 57 miles each way up here in Chicago to live out in the fields with my wife and horses - mostly toll roads to work!
  7. music in the pressroom?

    In my previous shop, the presses ran 24 hrs a day 3 days a week and 8 hours a day on Monday and friday. After normal business hours, I let "rock the house down" - as long as the work did not suffer. During normal hours, the radio could be at the same level as the equipment was around them, and...

  11. 901 costing per image

    Sounds more than fair - I'll use my formula with your rate: Mine would be: Set up = $25.00 Machine click say 8 cents x 2700 images = $216.oo Stock (Sra3 ) at 2.6 cents (150gsm matt art) x 2700 = $70.20 Operator fee(if they sit and watch machine for 1 hour) = $35.00 Overhead (would be...
  12. 901 costing per image

    I just have a basic setup fee, if you want 1 sheet or 5000, you pay the same amount plus the cost of the job as I quoted. There is no set price to clicks - they vary with equipment type, lease terms, quantity run per month, years of lease, etc so you will see differnet numbers. I did a...
  13. 901 costing per image

    There should be a "set up" charge, just like a offset press has a make ready charge. This should be on all jobs no matter how big the run. You also need to figure in any overhead, such as electric, space, and time for maintaing the equipment, etc... Then create a overhead rate per hour and...

  16. Kyocera TA-5550ci/TA-4550ci

    I had 3 Kyrocera B&W copies and ran them hard. Quality is not as nice as say a KM 1050 but the price was awesome. Had lots of issues with the finishers on the back of them and when we finally convinced everyone to not use them, they continued to run without much issue.
  17. HP 9000 Film Positives

    Most RIPS are set by engine width, if the 9000 is the same width as the Roland, you should just have to change drivers and reliniarize the RIP for output.
  18. full color full bleed envelope inkjet options

    I printed mostly on 28#WW and they seemed fine. Did mostly adjust the customer files in PitStop to get my color settings in place to deliver a good product. I ran a color refernece chart to show customers because PMS 200 red does not print with inkjet the same as the customers expect a offset...
  19. full color full bleed envelope inkjet options

    Have used the Riso HC5500 line and Xante Illumina. The Riso line offered envelopes at less than 1/3 the cost of the Xante, but at a quality level that was lower. Customers have to decide if goood is good enough or if they want the best quality... my customers most always choose good is good...
