    Dealing with the CSR

    I have heard almost exactly that last comment . . .

    Open-source SVG-based data merge engine (Inkscape). Looking for VDP/prepress feedback

    I don't see an example of a use case here. Exactly WHAT are you planning to output? Just VDP products? Inkscape is a bitmap application so Fonts should be no issue as they will disappear at output. File size for bitmap items - 4x4 is 16 times larger than 1x1 - so your final output product...

    Job Interview No No

    And the thumb drives dont just have the customer files. They are known repositories of malware and bloatware. We used a mac to offload any thumb drives which protected against some/most issues but revealed more junk. YMMV

    Ricoh C7100 and C7200 parts cross-compatibility - drums, charging units, etc.

    Hi - Had a 7100 and went to a 7200. Many of the parts were interchangeable - many were NOT. You need the parts list for both and then compare the actual parts them selves. Our super great service tech put some 7100 parts in the 7200 that 'looked like the ones I took out' and it promptly ate some...

    Job Interview No No

    Easy - block on known and suspected Ports. :-) Go ahead - the network traffic logs will show whats going on and you'll end up somewhere you don't want to be. We always blocked many wifi subnet ports to keep phones from doing 'bad stuff' cause between android phones and malware you just did NOT...

    Fiery API Program for Viewing Paper Trays across multiple printers

    Really Nice!! I'll bet the operators are ecstatic to be able to track what paper is where and how much is available. Super efficient!

    Envelope Types for Digital Printing

    Hi - I THINK you are looking for 'Flip Seal' envelopes. The back panel has a folded area that unfolds to show the second half of the seal. Then you just press them sealed - no peel and strip. Like these. They run ok on digital as the 'seal' areas are closed at printing. YMMV.

    Xerox Versant 280 - CMYK registration on long sheet

    I assume the distortion is in the feed direction? If so you may be seeing sheet shrinkage so your effort to 'blank preprint' would help. As a test: print once blank, flip, print blank again, THEN print normally. If its sheet shrinkage that might give the best result on this thick of a sheet. YMMV

    600gsm on Toner Press?

    Interested about what parts were a problem? I know they contract out their service calls if needed or you can ship it back. We got our supplies from a 'local' dealer.

    600gsm on Toner Press?

    I like the specs on those machines. Don't know about the supply costs. I would have bought one except they don't allow for roll material specifically latex. sigh.

    Thoughts on Bulk Mailings and Software Recommendations

    I used WWW.SMARTY.COM as a source of NCOA and MailPrep for years. You pay for what you use and it just works. They had a USPS document prep tool that worked until the USPS put that all online. They actually de-gobblydegook the USPS requirements info on their 'Methodology' page. They had a...

    Fiery Printer Logs - Is Duplex missing?

    Yes - the machine or print engine (Xerox, Canon, etc.) 'Handles' it but the INSTRUCTIONS come from the Fiery so to 'HANDLE' any relevant job info that comes from Fiery you need to use Fiery. Hence the issue.

    Not typical "Ghosting". Komori.

    Silly question - What is your color unit sequence? Does the defect persist when you change color unit sequence?

    Buying Ricoh Pro Press and Guillotine Cutter

    If you are thinking parent sheets then you need a 30" minimum in my opinion as you will want to quarter or third 25x38 and 30x40 because of the available paper options/brands/GRAIN/etc. as some sizes aren't available or are constrained. Also agreed a 2"+ stack height really does require a...
