My grandfather sees your videos sometimes and thinks it's wonderful of what you can do on your own with the right knowledge and equipment and working with what you got! Me and him work together at his printshop, ive been here for 12 years but he started it on his own in 1969 in the garage of my current home. It's so crazy to see the progression of being able to start a printshop without having to buy massive offset presses and all these other things that we used to have. We just got rid of our offset presses and stripping stations, now we just have 2 5-color Ricoh 7200's that basically run our entire business
As someone that's not looking to start a printing workshop but rather prints a decent amount of stuff on local shops in my country, your channel is great for learning how to do most of the prep work myself, making my printer's life easier and making sure the end product is what I wanted.
@@justaprinter all the way from England 👍👍 keep up with the good work & keeping busy with C19 is a great achievement!! I’m electrical and I’ve been the busiest I’ve ever been
Thanks! This helped me while printing notepads. Printed the insides then realized the cover won't fit unless I trimmed the insides, didn't want to do that. So, internet to the rescue! Found your video. Again, thank you Mr. Just A Printer!
I just discovered your channel and I'm loving it. I'm in Canada and have been doing digital print and bindery for 10 years now. I see a lot of the same passion and excitement for the industry that I have in you, not to mention all the familiar equipment and processes. Gotta love Tango :)
Nice Cutter, I operated a Polar fully loaded ("26x42") I did that work for seven years. I like the settings of your shop . Keep going brother, good job!
Another great video. Hope you return soon. Your work life is almost identical to mine (except for working in inches - that would take some getting used to!)
I have to admit, at the sound of it one would think this would be a boring channel. I mean watching things print and talking about paper, not exactly the most exciting things in the world. But you have a way of making this entertaining and informative at the same time. I've been a subscriber for a while and I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Not sure how I got here this last month I'm a photographer not a printer and do stuff at home printing up my own photographs and such like, but I like your print shop so I subbed.!
Maybe I’m just a little paranoid but I’ve been increasing my inventory on the paper I use the most. I didn’t know about printing to the edge of the sheet. Good info as always. Thanks Dan
Very informative channel. Thanks for inspiring us. Am a small scale printer (C8000) in Uganda and follow you closely. Main challenge here is the technical support but with your videos, we are destined to learn more. Thank you
Hey Dan. Binged all your videos over three weeks! Love your channel and the way you present your business. I’m a designer for print, but outsource my printing and never really looked deeply into the mechanics of how my work is printed. Your videos have changed that and I want to learn more. Here’s a really simple novice question… how do you process slip sheets in to jobs? I’ve seen them in your stacks and wonder how they are put in place? If you can show in a video that’ll be awesome! Keep up the great work keeping print alive! Cheers, James, UK
Hi James. I operate a printing company in the UK, (offsite digital in Chelmsford). I can tell you there are a couple of ways. You can set your machine up to insert a cover or slip sheet from another paper tray during the job. Normally you print the slip sheets first then put them back in the machine to insert them throughout the course of the job. This can sometimes slow the machine down quite a bit. Alternatively you set the paper stacker to shift the output stack side to side and you manually insert post print but pre finish.
Stumbled over your videos while downtime at work, checking onto book binding. Since then, I probably watched all the videos, because they are somehow fun and inspiring. Sadly, Covid has pretty much killed almost all business at my place. We're kinda lucky to have blueprint-printing at our portfolio or we'd be totally closed. But hey, times will get better - the Xerox machines are hungry and waiting. Greetings from a small German print service provider. Have a nice weekend.
From what I know, image overlap on belt will eventually dirty up your edge of envelope and maybe even your web in the bleed edge area. Maybe it is not a big deal with that light tint, but if you were bleeding something solid, do you find issues? Ran Xante for years, and now print envelopes on a Canon C750. Have not tried this trick for bleed.
Try just moving the image on engine screen, this is another way of printing too and past the edge. So exactly as you would do to move the job on the sheet, just put in say -8mm and it should take the image past the actual edge. Not sure why but this works on our Konicas c6100's rather than having to alter page sizes.
I have been following you for a long time, I love the press and you are my reference, I am starting and I have some doubts, for the printing of envelopes it is necessary the specific fusor for it or with the normal fusor can envelopes be printed?
I have been following you for sometime now I love your videos sooo much,,,how I wish I have a quarter of your setup in my big printing press in Ghana…how much can I get used 3070 in the state if you have a dealer you can recommend thanks a lot and keep doing what you do best
I like your setup i run a printshop in zimbabwe, i would love to buy old working printshop equipment u dont use(finishing) , currently m running Ricoh pro c
Hey, I print envelopes on the printer as well (C6100) but when you change the size to make it bigger, it doesnt make dirt on the belt or the paper to follow? and also the machine not getting stuck sometimes for the envelope size is smaller then set?
@@leviticherprintfactory7469 Same. Hopefully @Just A Printer will tell us what he does but his machine may work differently with envelopes than the 6085/6100.
I rarely do full bleed envelopes, and I bet you are correct that if the toner was heavy beyond the envelope it would cause problems. I'm not sure how the those machines work with envelopes. If you have the envelope fuser it should work.
@@justaprinter Yes they work with an envelope fuser. We run a ton of #10’s and 10 x 13 catalogs. But you have to open the flaps to keep them from wrinkling. Opening the flaps allows the air to escape and not wrinkle. A lot of times it’s no big deal cause we’re doing a mailing and opening flaps anyways. But sometimes it’s really annoying and time consuming.
@@justaprinter km has a recycle program and its free they send you a pack tall boxes with ups pickup label you can also fill with other manufactures e waste
In india specially in my city jabalpur the owner of konica minolta production machines charges cost or cost of full service maintenance agreement thats the per click count is Rs 3.50 plus tax which is Indian Rupees 4 only for print excluding paper , paper has to be brought by the clients , only 7 to 8 production equipment are their and all of them a kept fighting and final gain is of clients they need to pay a very cheap cost for print
Good day, Thank you for your great informative videos .I am in Cape Town South Africa ...I would like ask for for your assistance if possible ...what is the best Machines for starting printing business .focusing on flyer, business cards and books printing ..thank you
Hey Dan, love the videos! I tried doing the trick to get my 3070 to run envelopes from all 3 drawers but it didn’t seem to work. Are there any other dip switches I need to check other than the one you mentioned in a previous video? Thanks!
Does the powder toner leakage into the working space affect the health of the person working there? What are the health risk operating a powder toner digital laser printers ?
That depends on a lot of factors. I'm not willing to pay more than the cost of replacing the machine. But to keep a machine running I'm willing to pay a lot.
Changing developer material will always make an image crisp. The cost of replacing the dev units and developer material is quite painful. I hope it works out.
Been watching alot of your videos lately and have a question, how do you manage your time day to day between printing/finishing jobs and designing stuff for customers, i myself work for a printing company and always seem to struggle with this. I only ask as it seems you work alone?
Great question. I should do a video on this. Briefly, don't set a limit for what can be done in the day, sometimes you will get more done, sometimes less. Eliminate distractions. Organization is good. I need to expand on this in a video. :)
Interesting, Our Xante EnPress won't print to the outside edge of an envelope. Even if I do your trick, it must measure the stock being fed into it cause it stop and tells me its the wrong size stock.
It’s a limitation on the sensor with Ricoh machines. Those Xante’s are just rebranded Ricoh engines. I have the same problem on my c9200. All the tech have told me I can’t trick the machine because it will sense the wrong sheet size an error out.

Smaller ones maybe. The larger ones get wrinkled pretty bad. There is no envelope fuser available for the C6500, unless you get a 2nd normal one and somehow modify the pressure roller to allow for a larger gap with the lower fusing roller/fusing belt. Also, never run gum envelopes with the flap open, from what I've read, it will mess up your fuser. I only run envelopes with the adhesive strip on them so I can't verify that claim, but just to be safe.
what is the name of your company so i can see your prices I am a 100% disabled vet and i am doing a savings challenge book with envelopes for service members
Love these videos man. I’m a printer myself. Run a 12 colour flexo press. Never done anything digital so this is all new and interesting to me. Keep up the good work✌️
well, that bleed was only off one side... and the image was a phantom.. it looked to be about 20 percent, so not a lot of toner there... and if you can just kiss the edge, its perfectly fine.. but as a rule, a lot of unused toner would just tax the drum blades and any cleaning webs and decrease their life expectancy. So, in this case, not a mortal sin.
