We are manufacturing corrugated carton box die-cutting machinery, this customisation is great, hope to have the opportunity to exchange!

PU was nuts..... hope all is well cheers!

Details on the 180W laser, please

now im interested in galvos!!

I know you said grow to 10 million. Where are you now?

What model Konica did you buy?

Space is going to be your biggest issue. I know you said you have a plan to move in the near future, but for the interim you're going to have to stack a lot of material in a small space. We are going through the same thing at my work right now, we just acquired a laminating company and have to find room for all their equipment and materials, so we are forcing ourselves to throw away old things we don't need and move people and equipment around to make everything fit. It's been a lot of work the last couple of weeks. Good luck.

How did it go? Is there an update?

This is so helpful! Also screw them dumb ass comments! Wondering if you have advice for me, I would really appreciate it! I have an interview this week for a printing job. I have semi basic skills on graphic design, typography and photoshop. I’ve also gone through the process of printing a large photojournalism publication with the advice and constant communication from a print shop I chose to work with on the project. I loved the experience and I’m so hoping I get this job. I know I can learn all the necessary skills.. however I don’t have a license as I know that’s desirable for delivery etc. Idk what do you think, any advice?

Wow three years ago…

Can you do a waterslide decals video?

You're wearing glasses! Why don't you find the lens cleaner useful :'D

I never saw where they identified the image that Spenser picked as being HP or Canon.. Also, like another person commenting, as a Catholic and a Christian, I could have done without the Christ like image with an automatic weapon.

Hello, you mentioned that something was missing related to the air pump, but it’s been over a year since the second video, and it’s still not available?

Please shoot me a dm!

Very Cool... I'll wait though. I have been kicking around the idea of the UV printer. The problem for me is that I won't/don't print often enough to keep it from 'gunking up' on me and that's a high risk of damage to the printer, print head, etc... Once they figure out a way for the printer to be able to sit, for as long as I need it to without damage (for a reasonable price) I guess I'll just keep "kicking around the idea". Thank you for posting the video though! So cool that this technology is on the way!

would love to chat...

would be a great follow up

Very good equipment and software is so easy to use.

What cutter do you use for business cards?

Would you share you speed and power for tumblers?

I’m looking to upgrade to a machine that will specifically knock out my tumble orders . It takes me 6-8 hr for just 1 full wrap ! Please recommend a laser

What automation software you are using?

❤❤❤

Automation is great BUT you still need a person to follow up. Here's what I mean... I recently placed an order through Bulk Laser for 15 boxes (of 50) pens. A few days later I received the thank you email and was like "oh cool, he actually emailed me to thank me...and look he asked for my input on how to make Bulk Laser better". I actually sat there (on my phone) and typed a loooong reply with several suggestions on how it can be better, how to improve the site, how to grow sales and grow your KZbin, etc. Because I have really enjoyed watching your content for a year and half or so. I didn't get a reply to that email but a few days later I got an email saying that you were now going to offer 500 packs at a little cheaper price. That was very similar to one of my suggestions, so I thought "well, maybe he didn't reply but maybe he DID see my email and thought it was a good idea......cool!". Fast forward a week or less later and I needed more pens so went back and ordered some more (I needed A LOT of the black w/ rose but only one box was available....no biggie, sometimes stock runs out). Again, got the thank you email (thanking me for a 2nd order). This email was VERY similar to the first, so it told me that it was likely automated, with the simple addition of adding the part thanking for a 2nd order. Just in case though, I replied again and gave some more input (I thought since you had run out of black w/ rose, maybe you were going to place a new order soon and I offered to let our money work together and we help get each other a cheaper price). No reply... In your defense, I know you were at the conference/event last week and maybe couldn't reply or follow up, I know you're busy, and I get the whole "this is why automation can be good for my business" idea. This comment isn't knocking you AT ALL. I actually respect you and what you're doing! I'm just commenting to caveat.... yes, it can be good, but don't let automation prevent the customer from getting a reply (or further customer service). Maybe add an automation that "if customer replies, flag that as a priority to catch my attention". I have since placed an order for 10,000 of the soft touch pens from a China supplier. You have really inspired me and my business! Thank you for that... Keep doing what you're doing! You are doing great! I love watching your videos.

Thank you. I love the pens!!!

Where do you source your tumblers?

110,000 WOOOO!!!! Jigs all day. Good info.

Do you have blue ink option for your pen blanks?

Hotronics dose have a release it’s on the touchscreen

Just wondering if you saw the Kyrocera TASKalfa Pro 55000c and any samples? Did you decide to go back to Konica for the service in your area or did you consider and of the other brands? Currently considering a upgrade and move from KM. Thank you

It's a cool concept, but until the price comes down, I don't see how this can compete with other flatbed UV printers. I know not making a jig is great, but that only applies to flat products. Not like you can throw a golf ball down on that thing and rely on it to not roll of the side right?

Thank you for doing this. I am getting a massive education from what you are posting.

I can see this being the future.

We are thinking about bringing paper printing in house and are looking at the same machine and maybe the previous model 3070….Currently trying to decide on finishing kit to start with, definitely need a laminator and then we either go straight for the duplo or a separate guillotine and creaser/folder to start with. We will also continue to outsource booklets and look to add this later down the line. Love the content thanks!

I would avoid anything bottom-feed like a Rosback (they’re fast, but double feeds are a big issue, and forget about scoring anything you print digitally on it). We also had a Graphic Wizard creaser/perfer (no cutting) some years ago…it was pretty versatile, but was bottom-fed and we struggled keeping it running. It looks like the Graphic Wizard you’re looking at feeds from the top of the stack, so hopefully it would run better. I think I agree with you that the Duplo would be the way to go as it’s a known quantity for you. Personally, we replaced our Wizard with a duplo creaser/perfer, which is basically the toyota corolla of that kind of machine. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of other machines, but boy does it run, and is much faster than the versions with added cutting/slitting capabilities. We pair it with a nice programmable guillotine cutter, so hence we didn’t really need the cutting/slitting. From the best I can tell, we do a lot more paper-based stuff than you do, though, so we need something fairly versatile that can really get through a high volume of paper. However, have you thought about just getting a creaser and pairing that with a nice programmable guillotine? Boggs equipment often has some pretty good used ones that come up, and that would be a fraction of the cost you’re looking at. Just make sure you get side tables with it and that it has good clamping pressure if you go that route. Hope this long-winded post is of some help. :)

Get a Barudan, never have a regret.

Great review of equipment that’s often compared. Good job at staying objective, as usual.

service is huge - these bigger better machines will go down.

I keep looking at the cutter/slitter/scorer contraptions and the price of them always stops me before I get too far along that thought train (we are small … growing, but still very small). Scoring, cutting, perfing … all services that we don't charge a ton for (probably barely covering costs, but they help us sell things that do have a higher profit margin) and, based only on the charge-per-service front, it would take a 10+ years to recoup the cost of the machine. We have a 50 year old guillotine and a manual scorer … both functional, but time consuming. Paying an employee to do all those things is EXPENSIVE (minimum wage here is $16.28) and wages add up (my single does many other things - but a finishing bottleneck causes us to miss jobs due to capacity, so considering adding a part-timer). What I'm hoping for is not an answer to this one issue but guidance (books? videos? podcasts? words of wisdom? mountain top retreats? mystical gurus?) on how to work through this type of business decision. It is definitely a place my printer shop-fu is lacking.

I'd also take a look at the MBM 5560 hydraulic cutter. We got it about 6 months ago and it is absolutely awesome! The price is much better too at around 21k. It is programmable and also has a software called VR CUT, that I don't use, that is helpful for new people. Ps I saw you at the show, but you were filming, so I didn't want to interrupt 😊

If you are building your digital print you will need a creaser folder.. Without that you will find you cannot fold stock without cracking the toner..

POA is a third party dealer. They nearly bankrupted my business, still recovering. They reel you in with a deal. There service contracts are tricky. They have also blacklist my printer and I cant even get service direct from the manufacturer. Take a look at the BBB ratings and reviews!

Do you hear me laughing?

I have $5000 to spend on an embroidery machine. In your opinion what is the best bang for my money in terms of multi needle machines. I need to make a purchase ASAP. Thanks!!!

I'm really looking forward to watching you regrow the print side and investigate new equipment. 🎉

We're opposites. I send out my signs, banners, labels, but I do most of my paper stuff in house, and booklets, folded or bound is my biggest item. Watching your vids has me considering other products in house like lables/stickers, for example, maybe banners, we shall see.
