    Riso Comcolor?

    While the cost gap has narrowed, the thing to keep in mind with RISO is the more you use them, the better thy run. Unlike toner, the lack of heat actually helps with longer runs and constant use. You want to be sure you have adequate service in your area at the volumes you are talking about but...

    Horizontal streaking

    I know this seems odd but it worked at one time for me. Had a older Miller TP38 and had a similar problem, just could not get a good solid brown or forest green from the press on a number 2 coated sheet. Streaked and looked bad. Thought maybe the customer had at one time built in starvation...

    New Prepress Computers

    If you like to be warm and toasted, use iMacs ;) Really depends upon your work in RAM intensive programs...if you use alot of RAM, go Pro, if not, iMacs are fine. I have always favored the PRO for a workstation (loaded with lots of RAM and it has way more air flow for cooling) and iMac for...

    PDF Trapping Solution?

    The best stand alone pdf editor I have used is ArtPro by Esko. Yes, it is expensive and licence is by seat, but it takes in any pdf or ai file and allows full edits of traps, etc and outputs back to ai or pdf format. Check with Esko for a demo version. That being said, I agree with ajr that...

    Thoughts on the Konica C8000?

    Your math points out that you are running 83+ clicks per minute per machine for 12 hours a day for 5 days a week(300,000 clicks/5 days/12 hours /60 minutes) and you are concerned you are down for 1 call per day - you need another spare machine to handle the load of the one that will be down...
