Hi ponnapatil123 I've just spoke to the printer that did the last job and asked him, he said to run it like any normal ink, print a few and hang it on the window for 20 minutes to see what it looks like, take care not to over ink it as it can start to emulsify. Also paper stock is important as...

I didn't suggest the fuser is faulty, its just a side effect of running white out text from a heavy solid. What ever machine you are running there should be a paper setting to increase the gap between sheets its normally used to stop judder marks but it sorts this out on my machine as well.

Hi PrintingInLincs Are you running this on a laser?. I get this once and a while on my Ricoh. The tech explained it was because as the fuser melts the toner heat is taken away from the fuser roller but if you have a largish area of white out of a colour the fuser stays warmer in that area so...

No worries. I was TCRU trained on the 901 but moving up to the 9110 was a big step with quite a steep learning curve, as the machine was still in beta, i was fortunate to have a couple of good engineers to help me out, in their view 119 is Ricoh trying to be a bit to clever. Have you had your...

Hi tpmar You'll have to help me out here what is 80 paper. I work in metric do you know its weight as gsm. If it is very light stock you could try adjusting the amount of registration buckle. If you go in to the Adjustment for skilled operators, go to the paper feed and output in menu 0303 you...

Hi Gents I'm a jaded operator of over 2 1/2 years and you will discover that the machine does a lot of strange things. As for image magnification I switch off Auto Adjust side 2 which is number 119 in the advaced paper settings. It can cause issues with paper straight out the pack as any slight...

The offset department of the company I work for do a lot of watermark printing. They have just finished 200,000 sheets for Mercedes Benz. The ink is made by Luminescence product code 1715KFD, its printed on the back of the sheet in reverse. I remember being told by management that we have to...

I have had two years of pain and suffering on my 9110. It was one of the first batch of machines to come out and as such was still in Beta in everybody's mind except my managements. In that time quite a few parts have been upgraded as they don't last as long as they should, and there are still...

I was in silk screen for over 20 years before moving to the "Dark (Digiital) Side" and printing scratch off silver used to give me nightmares, not because it is a hard process but you always have that fear that the ink isn't dry because when you rub it it comes off. As one of the poster above...

Strange. We have a 8100se and we have had no problems running coloured stock, from light yellow to dark blues and greens. Even running mixed media, books with white pages with coloured sections, and of various weights there have been no problems. I think you need to get a tech in to see if you...

Hi Bloomfield I had my Ricoh tech in yesterday, Friday, and I mentioned this post to him as he has worked on the c71xx from new and he was quite surprised to here you were having issues on textured stock as he has had no complaints from his clients. How textured is the stock. He did say that on...

I had a similar issue with 3 files a customer sent. All three on screen showed a black only grey scale but one of them would print as a 4 colour grey. Pre press could not spot the issue, When I opened the file in Acrobat and the used pitstop to inspect it I found that the grey had a ICC profile...

Hi Print Pro How long have you been running your 9100. Have you got the latest firmware update, and have you discovered some interesting issues.

Hi digitalro Technically speaking duplexing 300 gsm is out of spech on the 5100 as it will only allow you to duplex up to 256gsm on the paper settings, but I have told it I was running 250 colotech when in fact i I was using 300gsm. Once you set up the backing up on the fiery it is supprisingly...
