It will if you create a raster PDF.

So it sounds like that might be your problem. The roll should move smoothly when the lever is lifted. (Or when the cassette is in the machine). I can't remember how the brake works. If you take apart the cassette you might be able to figure out what the problem is/how the lever operates. It...

I've seen this behavior caused by a bad cassette. If I remember right, the input cassette has a braking mechanism that holds the roll so the machine can tension it. If that braking mechanism in the cassette is slipping, you'll see the problem you are having because the machine can't tension the...

Check the water level in the first tank, and if it seems alright, jiggle the sensor float. Sometimes they get stuck.

We have more of a problem with them rationing color drums rather then toner. They seem to wear to the point they won't produce acceptable prints for us before they are "officially" exhausted. But this is running a lot of heavy stocks and a lot of coverage on a 240.

I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) that Western States and VistaPrint do direct mail. Direct mail being postcards, self-mailers, or letters that go out to a large mailing list. I believe that's what the OP was talking about.

If I figure this out, I might have to sell it :-)

Thanks guys. Rumpus sounds interesting. Cjworld. Jotform was almost the perfect solution. I just couldn't get it to reliably accept a file larger then about 400 mb. :-( I've heard all about the technical difficulties of making this work right. Packet Loss etc. I can appreciate it, but I know...

I've been searching for an upload form / FTP replacement product for some time and all the solutions I've reviewed seem to come up short in one area or another. If the community has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Requirements: Reliability. Uploads up to 750 mb need to be reliable...

I don't think small businesses are shut out from direct mail by the lack of suppliers. We do mailings as small as 500 for small businesses customers all day long. As far as there being an "easy wizard upload your job, and go straight to direct mail with no human interaction" provider, they may...

Does anyone know if it is possible to pull images direct from an internet URL in uDirect? (rather than a local or network folder)?

Yes, This happend to me. I was taken by surprise by the TTY relay, and I felt like it was a scam but I wasn't 100% sure at the time, so I asked the interpreter for the customers email address to follow up. She spelled it for me phonetically. "S as in Scam, N as in Nigeria, I as in illegal".

I think if you want to understand the purpose at a basic level, a RIP's job is to take the PDF or postscript you send it and convert it to raster data for use by the output device. I'm not sure whether you are referring to a RIP connected to a color copier/laser printer or one connected to an...

The 3M machine is probably what was used to process the Silvermaster plates. I can't tell you much about the camera, because I've never worked with that kind of a system, but I can tell you a tiny bit about the film processor. If you take off the cover there should be three tanks. The one...

Also, I fully admit I haven't done all my homework. I don't know if we have a current support contract with Xitron or not, and I haven't consulted any documentation we might have lying around the shop. I guess that would be a good next step. Just trying to see if anyone might have any ideas.
