The difference between Adobe and Canva is, Adobe provides tools that allow users to create designs. Canva provides tools to create designs, and they want the print business revenue too. I would categorize Canva’s vision more like a Vista Print on steroids. It would be interesting to know more...

Power supply fluctuations can cause a whole lot of grief. I'd at least plug the Fiery into a UPS device and make sure you have a backup handy like Shawnd suggested. I don't have any unusual power fluctuations but my Fiery is still plugged into a UPS, they're cheap and a lot better than just a...

What happens if you run a multi page document from the document scanner instead of going through the Fiery? It seems odd that replacing a fan in the rip would require a reinstall, this should have been a power down, install fan and boot backup. Something seems to have gone wrong. My thought to...

I say the same, no upfront pricing, not interested! They have a system that will save a print shop time by allowing customers to place orders online. Somehow, they can’t do the same for their own customers even though their software pricing is less complicated than what a print shop would require.

If you’re looking to bring in a used or reconditioned machine I see why you may consider a Versant 180. It would be baffling if Xerox were trying to place a new Versant 180 unless you’re looking at the Fuji Xerox branded 180i. The 180i is the same as the current Xerox Versant 280. If you’re...

Instead of printing the job to the Fiery, try importing the job in Command Workstation. At least you’ll know if it’s a Fiery to engine issue or driver to Fiery issue. Curious how the job looks in preview, are pages rotated in preview?

The stitcher head can be rebuild or you can send it out to be rebuilt if you’ve never take one apart. You could take the stitcher out and try some light oil on the slide and move it back and forth before reinstalling. You could also try running the head without the wire while it’s in the Duplo...

I would check with your laminate supplier. Don't know if you can get the equivalent but Skandacor has what they call 1.6mil polypro photo gloss ultragrip, and it produces a very high gloss. Not sure how to explain the gloss level but the gloss level is higher than a UV gloss.

If all three are giving you similar pricing for the same equipment, then you’ll need to spend a good amount of time in front of each of them testing everything you use. Salespeople always stretch the truth. I have a Versant 280 and both like it and dislike it. The biggest problem with the...

I had some creasing on my 280 that was caused by a bad pressure roller (the roller under the fuser unit). It would happen on lighter weight text stock only. I had an issue with alignment on some 12pt cover stock. After I was ready to push the Versant out the door, I discovered it wasn’t the...

What kind of envelopes are you talking about and what quantities, tens of thousands or an assortment of smaller quantities? This site could be a good place to sell them. I would suggest listening what you want to get rid of and at what price. I can’t speak for all distributors, but I know...

There's an arm on the opposite side of where the damage is on your belt. It's underneath the fuser assembly and the belt needs to run up against this arm. The arm is part of the belt position sensor. The belt moves around slightly back and forth on the rollers and the sensor makes sure it...

This is only true if you NEVER run coated stock and only run uncoated stock. There is still an issue with the 2nd BTR when duplexing coated stock, it's a fact and there isn't a solution to get a decent life out of the 2nd BTR. In the last 3 years the longest the 2nd BTR has lasted in my Versant...

The cables that you tried are short enough to have worked. It sounds like you already attempted to install the usb driver software on your Windows computer. When you connected your Duplo to the PC you should have received a message about found new hardware and this is when you would’ve installed...

Make sure you're using a short usb cable. The Duplo can be very picky about the cable quality and length.
