    Xerox Docucolor252 Registration Problems (REALLY need advice)

    Is your printer set up with a skew adjustment thumbscrew? This is a simple kit that can be installed to allow someone to adjust the angle at which the paper's lead edge hits the first print rollers on the main unit. If you DO have that thumbscrew, and it came loose, I suppose that could account...

    Mimaki JV33-130 Substrate Question

    A lot of Mimaki's machine's run the same parts except for the ink line aspects. If you are printing vinyl primarily, then you are running solvent-based inks, and you shouldn't be running both paper and synthetic materials on the same inks Maybe you technically can get away with printing solvent...

    Apple's iTouchPad

    If you hold it against a Kindle, sure the iPad stands strong. But what about everyone else? I don't need a big iTouch, they need to converge more of their other products features into this item to really give it zing. Give it a real OS, camera, writing tablet functions etc... of course that...

    FSC approved paper - YOU CAN'T CALL IT THAT!

    The point here is that without COC, the next person in the chain cannot guarantee or prove the paper is indeed FSC Certified. That being the case, FSC can't let you make claims about the paper. Reworded, if it any point the paper could have been secretly swapped with a different stock...

    Registration Issues with 100# Cover, Docucolor 260

    Thanks for the tips guys. I think I've worked it out. It needed to be calibrated without Duplex, and if I print Side 1 and flip for side 2 as two separate jobs it stayed "true"

    Registration Issues with 100# Cover, Docucolor 260

    I am trying to run uncoated 12x18 100# cover through the OHCP Tray 6. When I have it set at Heavyweight 3, it shifts the entire image off center by a 16th to an 8th of an inch right to left (when viewing at landscape orientation). It’s almost like the print is starting before enough paper has...

    Better Gloss Paper

    Okay thanks. I actually have an uncracked package of 12x18 Futura I haven't needed yet, so I'll give that a whirl.

    Better Gloss Paper

    I'm running a Docucolor 260 and have been running Nekoosa 100# gloss text for a lot of jobs, but I'm hoping one of you might know of a better alternative that is a bit heavier and more comparable to the AQ coated 100# text people typically get from offset 100# gloss. Any suggestions?

    Establishing an “in-house” pre press department

    That's a fairly loaded question. You'd have to give more details about each person's experience, time with the company, and responsibilities. You'd also have to consider the geographic location of the business and availability of good workers in your field. I know where I live, both jobs would...

    Establishing an “in-house” pre press department

    Why not simply gather your thoughts into a well-written Help Wanted Ad and see if you can't find someone with the experience to get this off the ground. What you are looking for isn't terribly difficult if you can find someone who has already worked in that environment. For instance, I went...
