it's an SRA3 sheet being fed short edge in. the faded edge is the bottom edge.

80% of the printing is A4/A5, with booklets being done in SRA3.

Printing some booklets (A4 on SRA3) on a Ricoh C5300, finishing done on the SR5120 inline booklet maker. First few copies there is very light fading on the bottom edge. By the 25th copy it becomes a lot more pronounced. See the photo below. Bottom is the 5th copy, top is the 25th. Any ideas...

you've probably already thought of this but i've had quite promising results asking AI to interrogate user manuals and resources across the web to answer questions which are unclear to me from reading manuals etc. some more so than others - i find ChatGPT hallucinates a lot more than e.g. Gemini...

Does anyone have a supplier for A5 blank tab sheets? Am in EU but was previously ordering from UK. Last order was from Scotia, but they are no more. Previously also ordered from Tabbers but they just don't follow up on enquiries. It's at the point now where I'm looking at tab cutting...

probably totally irrelevant, but my hand cranked cutter has a thing where when it's been switched off and back on again, the electronic depth gauge only starts working when you crank it past a certain point (almost all the way to the end). could it be something similar? try hand cranking it...

Get the supplier to specify in writing any restrictions which apply to the bustled RIP vs the standalone. I know for example with the Ricoh C5300/C5310, the bustled RIP has some restrictions including support for tab printing and some Fiery software modules which are only possible via the...

why aren't you considering Ricoh? I'd have thought the C5400/C5410 would be a good fit.

thanks - i struggled to get hold of that in SRA3 near me and my cutter is max SRA3 size. I've made a small order for some Gmund Verge and Rives. Have already got the Gmund stuff in and it's quite similar to the Paperlinx stuff.

given the current global economic turmoil, agreeing to lock in prices beyond a couple of months seems like an unwise proposition from a seller's point of view. anything could happen to the price of substrates, electricity, labour, parts shortages etc.

i thought the IMC6500 was the office version of the C5300?

Hi folks, I'm looking for some recommendations for paper available within the EU. specifically the following: - Textured off-white/ivory/cream cover stock. 250-360gsm. SRA3. We have some very old stock Paperlinx Ivory White which is great, but no longer available. It has a kind of...

yeah - we're talking high value historical publications of which there are no digital versions in existence. So in these circumstances, this is the proper way to do it, although if money is no object then you would probably use a robotic version which flips the pages for you, depending on how...

Hi all, I'm digitizing some very old publications, and I've 'scanned' the pages using a DSLR. I need to compile them into a PDF and align the pages consistently. Some of the scans are off centre by a CM or two and they're not consistent. So I want to align the pages so that they are...

piece of paper taped over a sensor on a bizhub post-inserter meant i could post-insert A5 tabs when the post-inserter wanted them to be a4 width. I was happy with that.
