Hi Dan, I take my hat off to you, you are truly a one man army, truly Dan for what you do, you are truly a shining example of a True Professional, you can truly hold your head up high and say I've earned my corn today. I truly respect everything about you and your work ethics we could do with so many more people like you in this world of ours, keep up your incredible vlogs,
I worked in the printing industry for 33 years until I had to retire for health reasons. I just wanted to let you know how much I love your videos, you sir have a passion for printing that is rare and great to see in younger generations. I can count on both hands and not use all my fingers for the folks I know with that kind of passion for printing. I have been binge watching your channel and cannot stop, keep up the great work brother.
I worked for Konica Minolta customer service over two decades, before i changed to a less stressing inhouse job at another company. This vid brought to me so many memories. So i totally agree with you. Thanks for showing us, mr justaprinter. Great job! We shoud respect such printwork more.
Great videos! You remind me of myself 30 years ago... Running press, cutting, folding, boxing, stripping, and making plates all at the same time. Will be showing my students your videos as inspiration.
the ncr is great whats even funnier is when the paper store is closed for the weekend and the supervisor drops it and mixes up the order of it and you have to check every one
Your videos are by far the most instructive ones I've watched on TH-cam. Well filmed, mounted and the way you talk and explain each step is what make them interesting. The only detail I don't know until today is your name and which state/town are you from.
@@justaprinter I'm pleased and honored. My name is Ghassen and I'm from Tunisia. My printshop is called Smart Design and I'm specialized in wide format printing. I'm also making some paper products but still not having the equipment you have. They are hell expensive and there are no wide choices. Importing them will cost me a fortune.
@@pondorbox Very cool! I used to have an HP 5500 wide format printer, but didn't run it too much so I decided to stop doing wide format. Thank you for watching! I love teaching others about my craft!
Just finished watching this video - thanks again for great videos I’m learning a LOT. But did you know that you can completely turn off auto update for your windows machine ? Or at least have it update and restart during the night ?
I looked into those machines. They have ok print quality, but not good enough for what I print. The have a 1 cent click charge, which is the same as my self-service toner machines. No reason for me to get one.
@@justaprinter then the main difference between comcolor and konica is that comcolor is faster? it is not cheaper to print one sheet in comcolor than konica? i was thinking to buy comcolor for economic modeling (that is not need to be high quality) but always tinking about the print cost...
Sou grande fã do seu trabalho,... excelente... estou me preparando para abrir uma gráfica... mas estou juntando dinheiro... que é o que me falta no momento rsrs (risos)
I'm looking to buy a c65hc which is the same as the 6501 but uses different toner. Thanks mate, watching your vids has made me want to get back into printing after 11 years away from it. I'll tell the wife it's you fault I'm spending all this cash :-) Can't be arsed with offset and all those washups so digital looks the business. Daft question...... if I print letterheads or other similar stationery on a KM, does the printed image peel off if it's put through a laser printer again to for example print a letter? Cheers for the informative and enjoyable videos.
Sure, I print letterhead for people all the time and there is no problem for them to re-print. And thats fine to blame your cash spending on me. Haha! Have fun!
I noticed that you only use the larger paper size even for small documents - why? For example, if you need to print 8.5 x 11 doc, 2-sided, wouldn't it be just easier to buy the letter size paper versus cutting down the larger paper?
At first it was because Konica charged me 1 click for any paper size. So I would get two sheets for the price of one by printing them 2 up. This is still true for machines that I have a service contract on today, but now I print everything on the largest sheet size to make my belt and second transfer last longer. Switching from small paper size to large paper size will wear the parts unevenly.
@@justaprinter I see, thanks for the reply. So I take it, the size of paper has very little impact on it's cost. I have so much to learn here. But I have resolved alot by watching your videos. Thanks for you public service!
@@justaprinter Can you do a video on how you decide on which paper size you use? maybe include some info on how get best price? Is 12x18 your go to size?
You should be able to center them in either the RIP or on the printer. On the printer you can select the tray, both sides adjust, then make the adjustment there.
Not for this quantity of books. At 1-2000 books and depending on color, black and white, binding style and book size it will make sense to print offset. But keep in mind the magic number for offset vs. digital will change for every shop depending on your specific costs. I put it on my list to make a video showing a comparison in costs between offset and digital. Great question!
Can i have your gmail or viber to speek with you sent you some video im new trying to build my own company of printing and i need help pls if you whant if have some time you can help me ?
@@justaprinter Have to be super cautious because if I get greedy and watch them to fast, I will catch up and then have to wait like everyone else for the next episode 😎

You... my friend, are a "BEAST"!!! :-) Thanx for sharing, I'm a Tech and just love to watch the "end-user" get down-n-dirty... Stay the course. #SUBED
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the content. I like sharing with everyone.
Seeing your process for receipt/invoice pads; do you number sheets. Keep up the good work, stay safe. 🇬🇧🍷🇫🇷
Yes, sometimes. I either mave a .csv file and datamerge in Indesign. Or just use the page number feature in Indesign
Hi Dan, what software are you using to impose?
Just finished watching this video - thanks again for great videos I’m learning a LOT. But did you know that you can completely turn off auto update for your windows machine ? Or at least have it update and restart during the night ?
Yup, I know there is a setting in there. Just wanted to be dramatic. :)
Great video. Tell me what do you think about RISO Comcolor machines. Specificaly the Comcolor GD Series
I looked into those machines. They have ok print quality, but not good enough for what I print. The have a 1 cent click charge, which is the same as my self-service toner machines. No reason for me to get one.

@@albertoqba Correct, konica is higher quality but slower.
Great work man. Here in Iraq many prefer offcet printing they just don't realize what digital presses bring to their business
There is certainly a place for both! Thanks for watching!

Whats the gsm for your carbonized paper? Having hard time for my feeder here to print on them..
Its probably about 70 gsm. Try 11 x 17, I have problems with 8.5 x 11
Minolta is a good printer machine! what do you think about Ricoh printers?
I don't have any experience with them.
Awesome !!
Thanks!
Hi what kind of laminator is that seems very automated
Autokote Pro by D&K Group. A solid machine.

Hi i have one develop ineo 7000 same as konica and i can't center my business card how i to it ?
You should be able to center them in either the RIP or on the printer. On the printer you can select the tray, both sides adjust, then make the adjustment there.
Wouldn't it be cheaper offset printing
Not for this quantity of books. At 1-2000 books and depending on color, black and white, binding style and book size it will make sense to print offset.
