Great job Pete!
You have done your homework well. I got back in time to see my sons baseball game.
But the info is not for me it's for all of us.
I went the other route and did not look at competitive machines except for the new RISO two color single pass machine (featured on the Print 4 Pay Hotel this week). I looked at finsihing and document solutions that we could not offer to the customer with certain Ricoh boxes.
I was over at the BAUM booth and looked at thier BUAM jr. auto folder. This folder will fold up to 11 x 17 sheets in four pre-defined fold modes. V, Z, Bi, along with french (sounds very sexy to me). It will stack 300 sheets in the feeder and the exit tray will fill up every one hundred folds.
So, whats the big deal! The price, MSRP of $2,400!!, I've been paying $2,400 wholesale for the MBM version. I'll admit that the MBM is a little more versatile in features, along with input and output. But the BAUM name is worth its weight in gold with print 4 pay or print on demand markets. It's and exciting throw in for standalone folding for different weights and stocks.
Next.........., too late must prepare for work tomorrow, I tell you all about the coolest print on demand printer to hei the market in the last ten years...........in a few days.
