@@justaprinter i'm starting off in a mailing department in a printing company and am not looking back! i love working the plow lines, inserting machines, inkjets.
Thank you very much for your dedication and for the motivation you give us. I started my first job at MM Packaging. I have problems with the machines because at the end of the run the paper is stocked at the output. Please, can your advice help me to have a good working day?
Got a question 4 ya. I use the round circle disk for vacuum adjust but I still get too much at times even fully open and does that gold rod there help adjustment for vacuum? This sheets do a lot of double sheeting after we replaced the suction wheel and any tips ya give would be awesome! Lord bless!
Out of curiosity, for someone who never has any experience with printing services; would you recommend finding a printing course or at least a community college course for doing this? Or would it be feasible to jump right into printing without any previous experience?
I'd say it depends on the person. A driven individual can jump into it but they will need to be learning along the way. You can learn a lot on the internet now. My parents started the business with no formal printing education before the internet.
@@justaprinter thankyou. One thing I always say that any trade or profession is that you are in you should be still be learning even if you are a veteran in the field. There's always something new being made or discovered so you have to keep up with your knowledge to do the best work possible.
I Have a question on the MBO, The yellow Belts have a life to deteriorate if not used much, and or have some in the black type sold for replacement. Opposed to regular yellow kind, Have you ever used the black type? ie: 25mmx1750mm main folder head and angle folding drive and 20mmx2010 main feed side rollers drive * not the paper drive. Or anyone have a experience on both and would share experience. I just got this folder and seen a good way to fix the best belt to be on. Thanks anyone for comment. Ed
I have replaced the drive belt on the right angle unit with a new yellow one last year. It has worked fine for me. And I have a second drive belt for the main unit. I need to replace both drive belts on the main unit soon. I thought the yellow belts were the only ones available. I bought my belts from updateltd.com
Thank you for replay, yes it is one of the site I was looking for replacement, until I seen this one on ebay and some other sites. eBay item number:153723411598 (jan6-2020). I may try one the black one and let you know later date about it. Thanks and keep putting videos. All is very informative. My CPP650 minolta is running great since your education on the Developer and service code. Thank you.
Scoring question: I just watched this and your previous video, and I’m not sure I understood correctly which side to score. When I make a folded insert for a CD/DVD slim case printed on my inkjet, I use a straightedge and a broad line stylus that was made for mimeograph stencils to score (placing the stock on a cutting mat). I have been scoring on the outside which leaves the raised bead on the inside of the folded sheet. In this video you ran the stock outside down. I couldn’t tell for sure if it was the anvil I saw on top or was it the scoring wheel? Please clarify. My experiments had led me to having the bead on the inside.
Enjoying the videos! You seem to have some fairly longs runs for digi. Could you not just buy it in cheaper than the click/paper cost (not withstanding your time)?
Never even heard of that. If you want to score and perf I'd just buy an old Rosback or other simple machine. If you buy something expensive you better have work to run on it every day.
We have the Multigraf 375 creaser and folder. My boss chose it over the Morgana before I started and I think he made a great decision. It's quieter, handles text weight & can take 2 tools simultaneously. We RA perf with the anvil and an accessory wheel. The wheel can lift during the run creating spaces between the perf. It's still dog slow compared to the MBO & it's sensitive to dust, we blow it out once week with the compressor. Otherwise a solid machine.
You gave me a few minutes of entertainment.... Your hand folding is call Dog Paddling lol.... And yes, what you did is the best way to send it..... Your T-49 is probably the best workhorse of the MBO machines. You have the late model Pile height sensor......... If you have issues pulling doubles on light stock put a rubber band on the vacuum drum.... She's a runner....
Never like to to call someone out on thier work but when you make a instrucual video best know how to instruct.. First when cutting, jog your paper at a 4" mark on cutter and bring clamp down and smooth out paper. Notice when he cuts his stock top to bottom sheet is at least a 1/16" off. Second when folding, how do you run a 3k run without checking the fold. Last I checked 1/16" off on cutting equals 1/16" off on fold. This is the exact way not to set up and run a quality job.
Printing makes me happy. After all these years doing it, I can’t imagine what else I would do 🤗
Same here!

We have the same mbo pile feeder! I love it! Perfect for the smaller quantity jobs so the bigger machinery doesn't get tied up running small jobs.
Yes, they are good simple machines that run and run!
Great Video. Do you know of a small scale folder and gluer for folding cartons?
No. I have never gotten into that.
love the zip ties as hold downs...im going to try ;i use green strapping or cardboard....nice
Zip ties work really well!

Put a thick rubberband around the center holes on the sucker wheel.. Also more blow air equals less suction and vica versa.
@@kevinlewis4311 Thanks for your reply and will try it out! Thanks and Lord Bless you!
what time do you get into the plant by? first shift vibes all the way
Every use the press on the cutter to make the fold crisp?
Yup, and squeeze down booklets. :)
Bindery operators chime in!
Hello from Tacoma, WA!
Nice good to hear from you!

what sort of film do you use in your shrink wrapper?
I get is from uline.

You are correct, the raised bead should be on the inside of the fold. Good job!

I do outsource longer runs that make sense to print offset. I'll have to make a video comparing the two options.
Very nice bro
Thank you!
I generally only change the side closest to me the the far side usually stays aligned with the gates. If im missing something please educate me.
That works fine.
@@justaprinter The folder I run is a dinosour nothing digital but it will fold some paper.
@@produceking71 Perfect! Those are beasts!
May I ask what kind of scoring machine are you using??
I have a Morgana and a Rosback. I use them both to score.
Any idea on the Multigraf finishing products ? I got 2 offers for 2 machines but hell they are really expensive !!
Never even heard of that. If you want to score and perf I'd just buy an old Rosback or other simple machine. If you buy something expensive you better have work to run on it every day.

Really? I didn't know that folding technique had a name. Ha! Yup, I have used the rubber band trick before. That folder will outlast me!
