Sheet1
| Question | Answer |
| Attachment 2, FINISHER REQUIREMENTS: Tab VL-1500ppm, Line #18: Regarding the Inline/Near Line Booklet maker: Do you prefer wire stitcher, or spine glue, or both? | Both are acceptable. |
| Attachment 2, FINISHER REQUIREMENTS: Both Tabs, Line #19a: Cutter/Stacker: Is this Cutter/Stacker intended to be used before the booklet maker? | Before is the intent, since web printing is an option for the 300ppm, the cutter stacker is included. For only cut sheet devices (300 ppm) a web to cut sheet device is not required. |
| Attachment 2, FINISHER REQUIREMENTS: Both Tabs: Are you producing booklets with, or without a Cover Feeder? | Both, since the web printer uses only one media thickness at a time, a cover feeder is required for different media cover thickness. A different thickness cover requires a cover feeder. |
| Attachment 2, FINISHER REQUIREMENTS: Both Tabs: Do you prefer to feed the sheets via a Pile Feeder, or via an Unwinder/Web Cutter? | Both are acceptable. |
| Attachment 2, FINISHER REQUIREMENTS: Both Tabs: Is this sensitive, customer specific information that may require bar code reading/matching for 100% accuracy/guarantee? | Yes |
| Attachment 2, FINISHER REQUIREMENTS: Both Tabs: What will be the paper and cover weight? | Unspecified, although normal cover stock from 60 lbs. to 100 lbs. using a feeder or same media weight for web based covers inline with body print. |
| Attachment 2, FINISHER REQUIREMENTS: Both Tabs: Is the Government specifying New Equipment only? Or is the government considering refurbished Finishers? | New Equipment Only |
| For both the VL300 and VL-1500 printing systems, the media specifications state: offset uncoated/ inkjet treated / inkjet coated (gloss); Describe in bid. Does DLA require that both of these printing solutions are able to print on non-inkjet treaded gloss coated media? | Not required, but the vendor needs to indicate what media the device prints |
on.
| For solution VL-1500, will covers for the saddle-stitched booklets be printed separately on different media, or will they be self covers printed along with the booklets. | Both – Some covers are added with different media. Some will include covers of the same media. The finishing system needs to include inserting media to the process. |
| Will covers for both the VL-300 and VL1500 solutions be coated prior to binding? | Yes |
| For the Continuous Feed VL-1500 solution…Are there other applications beside saddle-stitched booklets that will be produced on this printing system? If so, please describe. | Not at this time. Any additional finishing options are a separate contract action and not a requirement for this acquisition. |
| VL-300 Sheet-Fed Related Question: Is three-sided trimming capability required for perfect bound books? | Yes |
| VL-1500 Continuous Feed Related Question: Is three-sided trimming capability required for saddle-stitched books? | Yes |
