Crazy Static, Canon Varioprint vs. Konica Minolta, Hard Cover Book Production

I have never seen so much static that you could hear and see it arching, crazy! A quick comparison of Canon Varioprint vs. Konica Minolta. It is very interesting to see the differences between the two machines. Print quality is good with both machines so far.
A quick sneak peak into the hard cover book production machines that I have gotten. I'll only be producing certain hard cover books in-house.

    Nice to see the progress in book printing and binding. We also started with perfect binding and then added hardcover binding as well. For small runs we use machines from the German manufacture Schmedt which help a lot making high quality hardcovers. And we are on Konica as well on the b&w side.

    I had two Varioprint 130 at my last print shop and they outran pretty much any machine I've used since the original Docutech 135. Fantastic quality, gradients and consistency. Two things I noticed: It curled heavier cover stock pretty aggressively I occasionally got dirty spots of extra toner in a run. The machine usually notices and cleans the drum but you have to locate those sheets and pull them out (or over run). KM was my preferred color machine since they also lay down a more offset (flat) looking image and, when kept up on service, made some fantastic quality prints.

And also to wipe the internal with a wet cloth to ensure no excessive paper dust in paper path way. Not so good in running letter head or pre printed paper as the residue might stick on the drum belt. Every 40k of constant pre printed paper run need to switch to white paper sometimes to clean the belt.

    Hi Dan, I am an offset printer from 1m years ago. I watch your channel and think I would love to get back into the game but, for me, I would struggle with the pre-press origination and the transfer and set-up of the machines themselves. I don't follow the "click count" concept and why that is so important, or how that impacts the cost of production. I have so many more questions I would like to ask machinist to machinist, but Pennsylvania is a long way from Western Australia. Anyhow great following along and seeing the new age of printing which is so radically different from how I got started in printing in the dinosaur age of 1967. Great work and good luck with your expansion into case binding. I shall keep watching with interest.

    there is a counter in every digital machine that counts A4 (usually) pages. Most shops are under a service contract with the representative of the manufacturer and pay a standard fee per click. The price is of course higher for color than BW and also smaller for more productive/robust machines. This price includes everything from consumables (except from paper) down to servicing fees etc. Dan is servicing his machines alone but he can still estimate his cost per click after adding up consumables+downtime+service hours he spends. In this way he can make offers that leave him with a standard profit margin and he can still offer competitive prices. So knowing your click count is very very important and it gives you a very accurate estimate of the daily/monthly/yearly costs and margins.

There are of course moving parts, a lot of belts, bearings and some electronic boards that break after a while.

    I was told not to use hc toner. I have heard of other people using toner form a different machine but I never have tried yet. Good luck tracking down toner.

    Varioprint will run forever. Need to get yourself the large capacity feed deck. The Direct Press fuser in the DP will produce stunning grayscale, but can scuff very easily. My book customers prefer the text output of the VP over traditional fuser tech. Yes you should of held onto the offset press. Easy to find another one though.

    As a konica tech, I can say that the 1200 is a older generation machine and half tones were not that great but the solids are great. The new generation 6136 series addresses that problem. N another note, there is a lot of aftermarket "H" toners that are out there that are causing quality issues with all of the machines. There is a fix that requires a firmware update and software dip switches to be activated.

    I’ve been working on all copiers for over 30 years, what you need to do is just Google that part, me personally my company used to be an authorized Canon dealer, but I have no connection to cannon now we switched to Konica Minolta, you need to look up /google some Canon dealers and talk to those people they’re all over the Internet ,you need to Google to find out the age of that machine if that machine is more than 6 or 7 yrs old you’re finished, you might not want to talk to the dealers if you’re looking for some cheap price that’s probably not happening either, just trying to help go to the source nobody out here has that part only the dealers if it’s still available.
