Can't comment on Oce units as we have no familiarity. However: 1- We have a Xerox 4112 which we got to replace the older Xerox 4110 (same basic unit). Quality is terrific (2400 dpi) & machine is reliable for 200k-400k per month. We put 15 million on it before replacing with the newer unit. This...

Duplo 4000 We have an older Duplo 10000S. We upgraded the original DBM 100 bookmaker to the DBM 120. The 100 was awful but the 120 works well. Note however that the 120 has staple heads, not stitcher wire. We find the biggest issue to be the collating. Given lots of coated stock with fuser...

Hi fourpaula, In response to your question, we have been using Print Shop Mail for about 8 years. Have looked at other software suchas Fusion Pro which is less expensive but do not want to go through a new learning curve. We have played with deom versions & test versions of Direct Smile, but do...

Direct Smile & Print Shop Mail Running Slow Direct Smile & Print Shop Mail Running Slow We have some familiarity with both Fiery & Creo as well as with Xerox Doc USP RIP. We currently have all three in our shop. The learning curve from one to the next is not difficult. When handling large...

Ryobi 3302 Help Needed! Can't personally help as I don't run the press & our operator is on vacation, but for futures you should be able to locate & buy an operating manual for a 3302. Try your service tech, find a Ryobi dealer, try Printer's Parts Store or E-Bay! Dave

Since we got the Ryobimatics properly adjusted, we have not had to make adjustments. The system just runs. I was amazed since we had struggled with constant adjustments prior to our fix & I found it hard to believe that a simple roller pressure adjustment solved the problem. And our Presstek...

AB Dick 9995 Dampening System AB Dick 9995 Dampening System We have a 9995 & are using the original Ryobimatic system. We were having problems about 2 years ago & our Presstek/AB Dick service tech wanted to swap out for Crestlines ($6500). After checking around, we found a Ryobi service...

Direct Smile & Print Shop Mail Running Slow Direct Smile & Print Shop Mail Running Slow I'm not familiar with the Ricoh 901, but does it have an external RIP device such as Fiery, or is it an internal controller? We run these software packages on a Xerox 7000 with Creo RIP & have no speed...

We have no problems UV coating output from our Xerox DC-7000 & DC-252. We have a TecLighting unit & use their recommended material. Finished product looks terrific. Dave

Laminator Sticking Problem Laminator Sticking Problem We have a Banner American machine (27") that also has heat shoes (hot shoes?). We use either GBC or comparable material from Southwest Plastics, but we typically run between 240-275 degrees F (115-135 C), depending on stock & whether it is...

Sorry to hear about your install problems. Unfortunately, these things happen from time to time & none of the suppliers (even Xerox) are excluded. The only suggestion for the future is to be familiar with machine expectations (such as the 300 gsm issue). While Xerox is quite good, we recently...

We have used Satori Bulk Mailer for years & highly recommend. Support is excellent. We almost always reach a live person immediately when we have a question. software works well. Dave

Short Run Envelopes Short Run Envelopes A digital duplicator such as the Riso is probably the easiest way to handle short run single color envelopes. However, having already made the investment in a PSI Envelope Press, you may find that living with the fuser replacement cycle (cost issue)...

2 color printing 2 color printing The Heidelberg 46-2 is great for productivity, but generally speaking, the 3302 with 2 blankets can provide better quality than a common blanket press. Obviously, there are press operators who are more comfortable with one machine than the other & I'm sure...

UV Coater UV Coater We recently purchased the Tec Lighting unit. Looked at the Graphic Whizard unit & got info & samples on the Versa unit. We also were hard pressed for space, but ultimately decided that the Tec Lighting unit (approx. 8'3" long x 32" deep) with hand feeder was the way to go...
