8 years in, starting with a single 1250, and running a DC5000 with a 1450. I will say, the experience has been the same. Your first few years will be hard as you learn that cutting is an art, and the only science is the accounting. For namecards, registration is everything. Get a cutter with a...

As an update, almost 2 months later... After a dozen engineers, with many team leaders, and multiple visits from the color specialist and service manager, they insisted it wasnt a printer problem. Their solution is to change a multitude of parts (toner tanks, rollers, drums) and even the laser...

You might be having the same problem i had with the Xerox 5000. http://printplanet.com/forums/digital-printing-discussion/14799-background-issues-xerox-5000-a It wasnt a yellow security dot issue, it was the fuser fusing the ambient toner/dust floating inside the printer. A full service...

=( i even tried using it cold (in the morning) and hot(peak traffic) same =X

what's the copy charges like ?

Hi, I've a small copy shop in Singapore, with a Xerox DC5000 with Creo. We've been pretty happy with it for the past 2 years. Its running along side our DC1250/DC1256 (splash). Of recent, we've been having problem with some of our orange/red print outs (Flat 1 color Book covers) on 256gsm...

Re: Background Issues on the Xerox 5000 We eliminated the RIP out of the equation by just using the PCUI console to get the background issue. (Just print a alignment sheet on one side) Paper matters slightly. We notice that the less-white the paper (i.e. artcards, off-white vanilla papers)...

Re: canon 6000 agreed, do read the canon 7000 post which has re-affirmed my commitment to xerox. a printer's output quality is one thing, but do look at the support that can be provided, and the reliability of the machine at high volumes

Re: Background Issues on the Xerox 5000 Join the club. i loved my 125x machines to death, and when we upgraded to the 5000, it was a dream come true. (Accurate duplexing, and auto duplexing on thicker stock) When we reported this issue (I'm based in Singapore btw), the technician(s) was in...

I'm looking to explore the capabilities of my Xerox 5000 + Creo CXP50. Xerox has released a microtype font for their own Xerox DocuSP controller with the Xerox 5000, this is done via controlling the actual dots tat's being put on the paper. I'm wondering if there's a way to send over a custom...

Re: Looking for digital printer with glossy output. at 5000 prints a month, look into getting the xerox 125x series. You might be able to get a bargain xerox 1250 out there. These guys print out really glossy (you might want to run in to the first 20k prints). The nice thing is you can actually...

Re: Background Issues on the Xerox 5000 its very faint, only will realise it if you compare it with the unprinted back side (i.e. single sided print). or you could grab a 15x loop and you can see the particles on the white areas of the printed side. apparently the reason given, is tat each...

Re: Xerox 260 - mixing stock weights to create booklet pausing to heat up the fuser for thicker stock will increase the printing time greatly. one 'cheat' we used was to use the same settings for the cover, and it just switches tray. (yeah, 100gsm setting *sometimes* works for a 250gsm paper...

Re: xerox rips Choice of rip will depend greatly on your current rip. I highly suggest you test your current mail merge app on the new rip. Does it do VDP ? Or just raw multiple pages ? We had the splash G645 for my xerox 1256, and we later got the Creo for the xerox 5000, which was a smooth...

I run a copy shop, and we have a xerox 1250 and a xerox 1256ga. We recently expanded with a xerox 5000 with a creo rip (lovely printer, and a huge upgrade from our 125x) One thing i notice though, is that all our print outs have a greenish-grey background now on the whole sheet, its like a...
