Thanks, I will check them out today. We were looking at Avanti but wanted something else to compare to.

Hey guys, we are looking to automate our workflow. Most everything is done manually now which is becoming an ever growing problem. We want to buy a suite of products to help us from the estimating, job tracking, job submission, mang of jobs throughtout shop including bindery mailings shipping...

Looking for Digital print operators in the Greensboro, NC area. We run a wide range of printers from small Konica's to NexPress S3000. PM if you have interest. 1st shift positions currently available and 2nd shifts open as well.

Does anyone have any experience with the HP ink mixing station?? Just wondering if that would be beneficial, so I could make up only what I need for each job. Or is that even an option? I prefer to stay digital if possible, it's hard to find a good quality pressman now a days.

So in some instances it may be cheaper to build the color than to put in a spot?? What happens printing a light spot after printing a dark spot.

So there is a fare amount of work involved in changing colors?? I was told by the HP Rep that the model we are looking at, 5000, that the changeover is quick and easy. Is he being a salesman and sugarcoating or is there a difference in the presses?

I have an already established digital print shop. We currently run 3- Oce 2090's, Canon Imagepress 6010, Konica 6500, NexPress S3000, and every finishing capability you can imagine. We have not gone the offset route yet, but I just cannot compete on some of the longer runs. We were thinking of...

Same here, price and more photo's.

My floors are not the best in the world so I guess that could be a factor. I'm actually going to copy and paste your message into an email to my rep. Maybe they can start working on the problem again.

All four sides. Its like the whole image was slanted down to the right.

I actually have both instances. A job I ran this morning though was off about .6mm top and bottom skewing. So once I back it up its actually 1.2mm off. Have you seen a solve for this?

No, we have the big trays on the end. Trays 4 & 5. We always use tray 5 for our heavy stock since its a straight path.

So far they haven't been able to fix it. Sometimes they can get closer but not good enough for me.

There actually isn't a skew adjustment on the 6500. You can adjust magnification and x&y axis's.
