Aficio 2090 w/ SR90 Application

Gregory (Guest)

Can anyone offer some virtual confirmation on the following. My client is running 16 sheets of 20lb bond, 11x17 (it's 64 images). In addition to this they want to add an 80lb cover stock cover to the job. First, do we think this will fit through the SR90 on top of 16 other sheets (SR90 rated up to 20 sheets of 20 lb.)
Second, we are hopeful that we might be able to feed the Cover through the engine, print on one side, then refeed thru the 500 sheet by-pass tray and and run the job completely from start to finish on the system. Or are we going to be forced to pre-print the cover and feed thru the SR90 Cover Feeder.

The SR 90 is made by Plockmatic. I have seen the same system rated for 22 pages of 20lb from another mgf.

I have not tried this, but would tell the customer to "try" the job with duplexing the heavy stock from the copier and try to make the booklet all at once. I would then tell him that the mfg specs it the way you stated, run the cover stock through twice through bypass and then put the cover stock in the "cover inserter" for the booklet maker. I would probably tell him the later satement first and then ask him to "try" it the other way. I would also claim that it is not endorsed through our service department.

Certain people who run these jobs get a certain jolly by putting a machine through its paces and finding out that they were the ones to "discover" the abilities of the system.

I have a printer running this type of job from time to time from a 1085 with the thick stock and going off-line for the booklet maker.
