I never found a good solution, but what they have in this youtube video did help a little. I could get the colors in register for a while but by the end of a box of envelopes it was usually off again. I don't have the machine any more so I can't remember exactly how to get to it, but somewhere...

Our process is about the same. I'm not sure if there's an alternative to dividing the books by hand, but yeah even a tabletop electric stapler would make the stapling part easier. We use an interlake s3a stitcher, before that we had an interlake model A that was smaller and worked fine for...

We had a similar issue with cover weight, putting the skew adjustment levers in the tray back to 0 fixed it for us. Was off randomly like that, might be worth a shot. https://www.support.xerox.com/en-us/article/en/1383240

We just had a used microcut installed on our challenge 305 last month. It was installed by the guy we bought it from, it did take a bit of modification. The biggest thing seemed to be where to attach the motor to let it turn that rod/screw that moves the back guage. A belt had to go from the...

We haven't been able to get anything glossy since last november

Yellow and black have been the longest waits for me. We've had quite a bit of downtime the last few months because of the supplies.

How have you guys handled being down for an extended period of time? We can't get drums in fast enough for our v180. It took quite a bit of effort for us to get the last batch in, after putting them in the machine last week 3 went bad right away. Also waiting on a BTR.

$149 for us printing offset Printing - $72 NCR - $72 Padding - $5 Edit: I'd be interested to know if what we're paying for ncr paper is high or not. Our supplier has had quite a few increases.

We use barcodes on our 618, it has a setting to only read them on the first sheet. We usually print on 13x19 and have the space.

Our local rep has also been a big help getting backorders released. We're still having trouble getting black in though. We have a couple yellows on the shelf but that backorder isn't shipping either. Down to about 25% left in our one black toner left in the machine.

That's the right place to change it. I usually use the tab where it says select sample number because it seems simpler to me with only 15 values. It won't let you print a sample but you can still set the number. If a positive number doesn't work trying negative one sometimes does (on 80# cover...

Quite a bit worse for us. Anything glossy is out of stock with only guesses to when we might get it. Envelopes have long waits too.

We have a versant 180 and it worked just as well on our c75 before that. I can't remember it every really jamming or getting caught up inside the machine. We do put a small stack of regular paper underneath them in the feed tray just so those last sheets don't stick to the bottom of the feeder...

We use MagneCote from Nekoosa. There is a digital version we use but I don't see it on their website. It runs through already magnetized but we haven't had any issues on our versant. http://www.nekoosacoated.com/Category/MagneCote.aspx

We've had it around a month now. Yep, we got the cross perf module for perforating so we can perf, crease and slit.
