- Binding books with my nephew, general work in the print shop. Setting the c3070 and temporarily to get some work done and see what all is needed to get it running again. Only needed wires and it was good to go. Thanks for watching!
I wish there was a ‘Just a printer’ but with Xerox brand machines. :)
Don't look at me😂👍
@@JeroenSteen sorry but I don't see any Xerox related videos on your channel
That would be great! I've been tempted to venture into other brands just so we can all learn together how they perform.
If you have smear on the magenta in “stripes”, try switching the drum with the cyan one. If the error follows = drum cadrige issue.
If its still an issue after, then the drum “house” is the issue. Maybe because it isn’t magnetic enough for the toner. 🤷🏻♂️
Hmm, interesting. I'll have to try that. Thanks!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy watching...even though it's above me..I'm learning.
Great! Thanks for watching.
I look forward to your videos.
Do you know if that Black and White Press use a Laser Unit or a LED Print Head to write the information to the drum?
I think what you cleaned might be the discharge/erase lamp. That toner build up happens over time, however if it happens frequently then that might be a sign that the developer and or the developer unit needs to be replaced. The same thing with the C3070 you just installed. Toner escapes the developing unit and will get on the charge grid and wire. Monitor that as well, might be a sign that the black developer and or material needs to be replaced.
Keep all 4 machines connected and running. You will increase productivity and at the same time you are sharing the load across the 3 color machines and not 2. The most important thing is that the front door of the newly installed C3070 and the B/W press can open.
Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the developer. It has been acting a bit funny. Yup, the doors can open. Thanks for the tips!
What cutting machine do you use? Model?
What are you using for a vacuum? I'm getting into starting a printing business just currently with some C558s and C454e, looking also to find a used digital press from the Konica line.
Did you end up selling your unit? I have a 3M Anti-Static Vac pack that I got a few years back for electronics and it seems that it's designed for toner pickup too. But are you using just a regular vac or using HEPA of some sort due to the toner particles? Thanks!
I bought a cheap toner vac on ebay. It has multiple filters.
Usually the seal on the 1200 developer unit starts to warp and toner will blow past it and contaminate the LED lens. Cleaning the lens is the cheapest and best option on a machine that old.
Thanks!
Question: when you are checking your front and back crop marks and if they are off are you doing your adjustments on the machine or on fiery? I have a Ricoh production machine and my crops are not spot on like your business card video.
I make adjustments on the Fiery because its fast, however from time to time I like to adjust everything on the machine so my first sheet out is perfect.
I bet the only one who has put a thumbs down must be the old owner. Selling such a horsepower machine for just $2k and seeing It still printing like a charm leaves a bitter taste. Can't wait to see the IQ in action, I already told you about in an old video and I'm sure you'll feel the difference when you add it to the press. The only thing I want to know is there a way to reset the printer counter to factory setting?
Thanks! As far as I know there is no way to change the counter. There might be though, I never looked into it.
Hi Dan, I still believing u don't need a IQ (like u said before). And this is because it take time doing proof and proof until get the " correct" color to start printing.
But, waiting for u geedback after installing.
What about the turkey, not from whole foods??? I hope so 🙄😄
Have a god time.
I did have a good time. Yes I and curious too about how the IQ will perform.
Did you ever find yourself having trouble with that Auto Puncher? I feel like I jams an absolute ton when right where it pulls the sheet down. Can you share your experience using this machine? I love it when it works but when it mangles books it breaks my heart :[
I cleaned all the rollers and have had pretty good results. I also make sure that I print on paper that has the grain parallel to the rollers on the punch. Maybe if paper is very wavy the fingers will cause jams? I feel your pain when a book is ruined!
Can't wait to see your reaction when you hook up that IQ! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks! I think I might like it.
I have the c3080 with the IQ. Love it
I have heard negative things about the IQ so I passed on one for $500
@@Sultani92 Big mistake.
hello Dan, I have got to learn a lot from you, I want to install konica 4065 machine, you advise what to do
I'm not familiar with that model, but I'm sure its a good machine.
I'm from Sri lank ,I like a 3070 Machine, Do you have a printer for me to buy How much that machine Price
Sorry, I don't have any for sale.
Question: i noticed that you always have a blank colored page in between each book. How do to make sure there is always one there. I’m guessing you add an empty page on the document but how do you make sure you always have one when printing.
The press does that automatically when configured to do so. The BW press even has an extra paper feeder on the output side for that. You can see this explained in a couple of the other videos.
Yes, I add a cover sheet or insert when I send the PDF to the press. The press then will insert automatically.
Thank you for the reply it makes sense now
I am a smalle print and copy shop would you recommend a booklet maker like a duplo 120
I have never operated a Duplo. They are probably good.
What paper do you use for 10x8 prints @4.20 about
That was 100 lb gloss cover. Sappi, Flo is the brand.
STILL ENJOYING YOUR PRESS DAN, THE MASHINES ARE AMAIZING
Thanks, just looked at your channel and looks like you are off to a good start. Thats great!
cool video
Thanks!
I really wish i can make a business in doing this. I always wanted to.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
what are your thoughts and opinions on refilling your own toner using bulk supplies?
I have not looked into lately. I tried a few times years ago with office printers. Generic toners are so cheap now that I don't bother. I have not looked into this possibility for the Konicas though.
@@justaprinter Yeah if you are using generics that makes sense as the cost difference between generic and OEM is still quite a bit. The price for generic Canon copier toner is only 10-15% cheaper than OEM so refilling the bottles makes sense for me. Also super easy.
Happy Thanksgiving
Same to you!
Hello Dan!
I really like your movies. I run my own company that is very similar to yours. What differs is the editions of your printed matter, I print significantly less. My printer is a Xerox C70 with a brochure booklet maker and a square folder.
Have had 5 different Xerox machines, including a 3535 that you apparently had. I was not happy with it!
Then I have the usual in the industry. I'll take some pictures and send them to you, if you're interested. I started in the industry in 1976. Have run a large offset press at the local newspaper. Run my own company since 1994. A number of years ago I made 2 1-color offset presses, Rotaprint. Very happy to get rid of these. I think I work more with originals than you do. Continue with your movies. It gives me a lot of inspiration to keep working!

Interesting. I agree, I didn't like the 3535 either. :) Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy hearing other peoples stories!
Hi Dan, impressive shop. Love the vids. Me and my colleague started a print company a few years back and we're doing quite well. But we've always had a problem with volume. i.e keeping the machines fed. As a printer what's your go to marketing strategy for sourcing your print? Is it Google ads? Word of mouth? Cold calling? What works best for you?
We can't seem to settle on which strategy we should focus the bulk of our efforts on.
All the best and keep it up!
For me, it is keeping my customers happy. They will then spread the word and you will get more happy customers. Word of mouth is king.
Why didn’t you connect de hi cap?
Oh I forget. I was probably just testing.
Hi Dan, I was wondering if you've ever run into an issue with an SD-506 having wrinkles on the front page. It happens almost always in the same spot, I've checked the rollers and had a Konica tech take a look at it for a few hours and they weren't able to figure it out. It only happens on the front cover (same thickness as the other pages - 80 lbs gloss).
Hmm, thats interesting. See if you can jam the finisher at different times to find where the wrinkle is happening.
We are looking at getting a C3070, and the it specs says it can do auto duplex up to 350gsm, but I was wondering if you have run 360gsm stock through it on auto duplex without a problem?
The heaviest stock I run is 300 gsm, Worst case scenario you could probably print one side at a time.
Like I said buddy that IQ could revolutionize how you run these suckers. Looking good on the C3070 after some wires.
Yes, I'm looking forward to hooking that up when I get time. :)
From past two days, there is a magenta line running horizontally on the print I don't know what to do
I cleaned the drum unit ,developer unit and even the ITB belt but still I have the same problem ⚠️ any solution
I would need to see it, but id bet it is the drum. swap the drum unit with a different color and see if it changes. Then you know it is the drum.
Do you print the majority of your books with Laser Printers or ink printers
Majority are laser.
Thanks very much for sharing how the cutter works. Didn‘t know that there is a light to help align it. That makes so much sense now.
One additional question: Do you try to hit the cut mark exactly with the knive or do you try to cut slighty next to it to have no remnants of the cut mark on the final product?
I was also interested who else is working at your printshop?
Have a great weekend and looking forward to the next video!
I hit the cut mark exactly. When the next cut mark is hit the previous side of the cut mark is cut off. So no marks will show on the finished product. My sister and two others work with me.
I would scoot it down and try to get the 2 presses lined up. I would also see if you can get it any closer to the back of the 1070 it looks like it works where it is at. Also it looks like the 1070 and 3070 have a very similar lineup finisher wise so you might be able to line the finisher if one up with the high cap feeder on the other. Just a thought.
Good point. I am hoping I get a clear idea of what to do with it. But until I do I think it will just sit where it is. :) Haha.
Hi, Dan, I'm very happy to watch your new program. Team member 6 looks so skilled. When the video is fast forward, you look like industrious little bees. Ha ha, I finally see that you have assembled C3070. The digital printing press should be arranged in the same area. Based on my understanding of your studio space, it is difficult to do this. Maybe you have a better solution. I'll see you next time You can do it for sure. I should go to bed, you just got up, good morning, ha ha
Haha, good night!
Great video again! Keep the IQ!! Learn it! it is in my 3080 and it keep low time to get start a job and keep track of color and registration ! Keep up the good work and have a nice weekend ! Greetings from Sweden 👍
Thanks! I think I will keep the IQ
What’s autogamut???
The IQ will automatically adjust color and registration.
Nice simple FIX, gotta like those. Happy Thanksgiving! Stay Safe Brother!
Agreed! Thanks!
Fantastico Dan, aspettavo questa puntata per vedere la 3070 funzionare. ma la prima 3070 è ancora con contratto?
buon lavoro e buona vita. ciauuuuu
Sì, il primo 3070 è ancora sotto contratto. Stavo pensando che avrei dovuto terminarlo, ma è bello sapere che ho una macchina che funzionerà sempre.
If you said a “LACK OF” magenta, you probably have an issue with your magenta developer unit, or toner on the LASER UNIT or toner on the charge assembly.
Turned out to be dirty corona wires. I find that wires need to be replaced often for best quality.
@@justaprinter Ok. Good to know that you got things sorted out. The Corona Wire and Grid are a part of the Charge Assembly. The seals on the developer housing are damaged causing toner to escape. That toner will usually go on the Laser window, Charge Assembly or Discharge LED. I own a Xerox C70 and C550 and those developer seals give problems as well.
Hallo can you maby make a video of how you make and bind ncr delivery books? And what masjien do jou use to number and bind books
Yes, I'll make a video of that soon.
Just so the viewers understand, the productivity of this gentleman is
well beyond the normal for the industry. Its like playing chess, some
are thinking one move ahead, however, he is juggling up to 30 moves at a
time. In the franchise print arena, each production employee is
(typically) responsible for 10 to 20 thousand dollars of volume per
month. This guy is pushing out, in the vicinity of 60, 70 , 80 thousand
or more. This is rare and should be noted that you are witnessing
production from a single individual on a superlative level. There are
some of us out there. This is a bastion of artisanship that is
dwindling in this field. He is right, there is a lot of print still out
there, and although we have experienced "shrinkage" in this industry
(Seinfeld metafores' aside) I've seen a stabilization of this effect. It
is still a viable field to get into, but is attacked and mastered on
many fronts. It is for the smart.
вы еще не знаете как с этим обстоит у нас...в городе 150 компаний на 1 000 000 человек занимаются подобным бизнесом. так что... выживают сильнейшие или те, кто инвестирует в расширение парка оборудования и не останавливается ни перед чем. Как Dan!)))
Wow! Thanks for the positive comment. All I can say is believe that you can do it and you will!
Nice machines man
Thanks!
I’m just curious, if you had a choice, money no restriction. What machine / brand would you get with a 10yr full contract covering everything.
Brenva, Igen and HP Indigo 50 000,)
I'd buy a KM-1. I didn't need to think long about that. :)
hello, dan happy thanksgiving, dan I have a c1070 I just bought it used and it's just driving me crazy after transportation lots of error codes popped up and now the lock release lever inside is just not gonna turn left to open it do you have any Idea what causes that problem? thanks
Oh boy, it might just be a dirty or broken sensor that is not detecting the door is opened. You will need to do some detective work on that.
@@justaprinter I almost fixed all of my problems now its been giving me c-2841 code I even cleaned the IDC sensor but it seems like the whole IDC unit is dead or I have a problem with my main board
Please, please do a video the next time you change a drum and /or developer on the 3070. I'd love to be able to do my own and your videos are priceless. Thanks Dan!
I will, I did make videos on the 1070 and that process is exactly the same.
@@justaprinter Ahh I do see the one on developer ....excellent. The one you made about drums seems more about rebuilding the drum than about the actual remove and replace part of it all. I'd love to see that in more detail! Thanks!
Do you have any component in the BW press that you don't use? If so, would removing that and moving the vacuum sealer onto a palette free up enough space to put one of the 3070s next to it?
I have thought about that. Even moving the BW press completely as I see using it less and less in the future. Hmmmm.
@@justaprinter If you move it completely, you might be able to put all 3 color presses perpendicular to the wall there instead. Probably not, but it's hard to judge how long they are with all components you'd want to have on them.
Have you got enough printers? 🤣 what’s the print speed for them per minute?
If I ran all 5 presses (single sided prints) it would be 395 ppm. Wow!
Do you have an old machine like you sell
No right now. Sorry.
I m not skipping even ur ads also 😂
Wonderful!
Why such a fan of the bizhubs not Cannons or Ricoh. Every place I have been runs those rarely do a see a bizhub.
Потому что, бизхаб печатает хорошо листы. Просто листы. Рико берет плотные материалы и текстурные материалы. Канон - вообще не вписывается из-за стоимости владения. Так понятно?)
For me, Konica was economical machine price and click cost. Also, you can buy all Konica parts very easily. You cannot easily buy parts for other digital presses.
@@justaprinter я с вами соглашусь только если речь не идет о Xerox. Опять же я не знаю как у вас в Пенсельвании, у нас вендор Xerox является лидером по сервисному обслуживанию. Однако у меня в парке оборудования есть 3070l и был Versant180Press. И как работает 3070 мне нравится больше. К тому же только сегодня мне прислали предложение о новой 4070!) Буду читать и сравнивать. Успехов!
do u need to change blade on cutter looked rough
No, That blade is only a few weeks old.
I have a question about the digi fold
What is it?
@@justaprinter im looking at a morgana digi fold that is used. and I am pretty sure its the same kind as yours. but I am also looking at a morgana digifold pro 50. what would you prefer? I want something to fold and crease card stock and maybe perf if it will... the place I am looking at is brooks printing equipment.
@@brianbass5609 The Pro 50 is much faster than mine. Mine cannot perf, not sure if the Pro 50 can. I like mine for the most part. You need to hire someone to fix it when it breaks. Specialized tools are needed.
@@justaprinter so the digifold you have creases and folds? I run a lot of Christmas cards and such what is the smallest size card stock that it will do? how does it handle gloss paper? like 80#- 130# gloss? keep up the good work with the videos. funny I have been in the business for 10 years and my father for 40 years and I still come home to watch mopre printing lol
@@brianbass5609 It does great with 80lb 130lb. I do 5.5 x 8.5 folded to 5.5 x 4.25. Sometimes it will dog ear smaller pieces of paper but I just run them flat and fold by hand. Yes, it creases and folds.
Who does you artwork set up?
Typically my customers give files ready to print. If not, either my sister or I will do design. I try to stay away from that though.
