    HP latex 570 red lines on print

    I had something similar to this on my z9pro. It was the trailing cable that had partially disconnected itself and once it was reseated at both ends its been spot on since. Cheers Chris

    Xerox Versant 80 Maintenance... How difficult is it?

    I understand why you dont want to lease and i was in your position a few months ago when I chose a 3100 knowing I would only get a few more years out it, I will say that if you are paying 4p a click then you are being massively over charged. The 3100 which is serviced through a dealer is 2.9p...

    Xerox Versant 80 Maintenance... How difficult is it?

    We got dropped just before Christmas so I upgraded to a xerox 3100 which whilst the printer is great, the service is rubbish through a dealer who trys everything to not send some one out. After 2 months of this I am upgrading again to a fujifilm ec1100 which is a xerox 4100. Fujifilm have been...

    Hi, I am afraid not, we never did figure it out and traded it in soon after.

    Copy Job Cost and Pricing...

    We are having a meeting in our small shop on Wednesday to discuss this going forward next year. Absolutely sick to death of the small jobs that take us away from the larger jobs. Being on the high street I need to keep a little bit of the walk in service but make it more productive and...

    Is it just me? Am I unlucky?

    Yeah, I reported it at 3pm and service had me try a couple of simple things and then arranged the engineer who is coming out this afternoon, I bet he will replace the fuser and it will be fine. Its one of those things when you buy a second hand machine the transportation and installation just...

    Is it just me? Am I unlucky?

    What sort of volume do you currently do? I found with mine that it sort of followed a bell curve in that between 40 to 60k per month and I hardly saw an engineer but either side of that I had stupid niggly problems. Apart from the impulse banding problem you have which is inherent could it be...

    Is it just me? Am I unlucky?

    It's only been running for day since being installed and so far so good. Ran a couple of 1000 yesterday and today and so far so good. Registration is a game changer as it was always a bugbear on the 80. I think these things like to run hard and not sit idle for a long periods.

    Is it just me? Am I unlucky?

    I'm going to agree with you. We have had a v80 for a few years and apart from chewing through 2nd btrs it just ran and ran. In the last year or so our volume tripled so we started to see some weird issues but always resolved and we have put it down to the usage. We upgraded just this week to...

    Billing Terms…

    We have always been a cash on collection type of business which has always worked well. We occasionally sent invoices but only on the understanding that they were paid for on receipt. Last year I bought out another business who only ever invoiced and it's been a massive wake up call. Most pay...

    NCR combination

    Well I need to admit to a schoolboy error - I picked up the wrong packet of paper and didnt check before loading the printer! Thankfully I only printed a couple of sample sheets!

    NCR combination

    I am printing a 4 part ncr set and I have the top sheet then 3 bottom sheets. The 3 bottom sheets are all la eled CFB and yet the writing does not transfer on to the last sheet. It goes through the top 2 no problem but not the last one. I have tried flipping over the bottom sheet to see if I...

    Laminating Digital Prints - What sticks?

    I use a laminate called tiger bond in the UK. It's sticks to almost everything I have laminated with the exception of solid blacks. I set the laminator to a higher than normal temperature and ramp the pressure up. Haven't had a failure in a while. No idea why it doesn't work with the solid...
