I believe we can help. If you send me your contact info, I will have someone on our team reach out to you. JDF is a world of its own and no two vendors or products do things the exact same way. The answer to your question will very much depend on what you are sending the JDF to after it leaves...

Tempops, We have training available. A local contact in your area is Jay Wuerth (jwuerth@csa.canon.com). If you reach out to him he may be able to connect you to the right people to get this setup.

We can help. We have several classes on color management. Some specific to inkjet printing, others on applied basics of color. One of my favorite classes is called Applied Basic Color, and even if you have been in color management for years you will take something away from this class. It is a...

Thanks Alois. Actually Canon employs over 23,429 people all over the world, and we manufacture products in many different countries, like Germany, The Netherlands, Japan, and the USA. Thousands of us work right here in America. Are you suggesting that "Blue Collar" workers are not capable of...

As I am one of you, that has been in printing for 27 years, I have seen transitions, CTF, CTP, Digital print, Inkjet, etc... What you are calling the race to the bottom, may also be described as a race to efficiency. If I can find a way to print more efficiently than the person next door, I can...

Ohh... one other thing, the EFI Fiery does have the ability to process VDP jobs in their command workstation (you import the PDF background(s) and only send the variable data from Fusion Pro), but it takes some getting used to.

As others suggested, PPML should help you. BTW, you are not alone in this. Fusion Pro can output PPML. the EFI Fiery can take the PPML zip file and process it. By doing this your RIP will not have to process the same graphics and backgrounds 30,000 times. It only has to do them once and store...

You are absolutely right, this is why we created "Ink Control" to give you the exact amount of C, M, Y, and K that a job uses when it runs; every job, over an entire shift or day, or based on a specific parameter you setup. With these reports you can reconcile what you quoted with what was...

I would be happy to do so. As you may already know, paper plays a big role in ink jet ink usage, so depending on the type of stock the numbers will vary. I will give you results with a few different medias so you can see the differences.

There are tools in the industry that can help you. For example, here at Canon we have a tool called "ink Control" for certain inkjet printers, that can tell you how much ink will be used on a job by job basis, or even to a side of the sheet level. This is a process to use when running the job...

I would love the opportunity to work with you on this. Constructive feedback is really good for us at Canon. If you have any details you can share with me, I would be happy to see if we could assist you in the green cast you were seeing. This is not typical, so we may be able to help.

The device holds a +/- 0.5mm registration. To do this it uses the combination of a second image transfer belt, in-track registration, a side guide, and a timing sensor help deliver accurate, front-to-back registration. In addition the user can also adjust the front to back registration, and...
