Not sure why, but that's the way it is. Stochastic also causes drastic colour changes and I'd have to do a lot of work to craft a new output profile to get press-match specific to the way these machines do stochastic. At first I thought Stochastic was a great idea but the way it was implemented...

Select your machine's default profile, it'll have a checkbox & lock icon next to it and in your case probably be Fiery Xerox J75 Uncoated 90gsm v1F or something similar. With that profile selected hit the Edit... button over on the right side to open the curve editor. You don't really want to...

If your interface is like mine... Open up one of those output profiles and save it under a new name (by client name, or what adjustment you're making.. anything it's an arbitrary name). Select your newly created profile and hit the Edit button to bring up a CMYK curve editor. Find the specific...

So long as they do not need to make further edits to your file, simply outline the fonts before creating your PDF. Every machine will interpret the vector paths the same.

We're lucky if we hit 15% in the winter here. I was surprised that these humidifiers could even affect a space as large as mine with bay doors opening every half hour.

Facebook has no official Pantone but it looks like many use 2727. Twitter uses 298. Not sure about LinkedIn.

Adjust Image Transfer is what you're looking for, and the method unfortunately is just to turn the number up and down to see if there's an improvement anywhere in the range. If you get a standard size sheet loaded you can print a set of sample patches from within that screen that may help to...

I've recently gotten a couple of humidifiers set up next to our digital printers and the difference has been huge on troublesome stocks like this. Now if I'm getting patchy solids on 300gsm Silk I just sit the stack by the humidifiers on a cart, turning occasionally for even exposure, until I...

Out of curiousity, how often are you changing out your filters or do you run them with the filters removed? We've just purchased a few of these (probably the same units you run) and because during this season we're going to have to run them around the clock it's anticipated that they're going to...

Found my answer, thanks

I recently got a peek at our DC700's HFSI list and identified several parts that were a little over 150% beyond spec life and were causing image quality issues that weren't being properly addressed. Now I'm curious what parts are on the red on our C75 that may be causing some of our troubles...

This looks like it may be a good one, thanks!

Is there a system out there that would let me consolidate the font libraries from all of our prepress computers, allow prepress operators to easily add new fonts from customer-supplied files to this shared font library, and synchronize with their machines automatically or on request? I've been...

I've heard good things about the oversize feeder and did push a bit to get one but that didn't happen. Bypass tray has a low jam rate (until the rubber rollers wear down) but is very low capacity. I've been warned that it results in the least reliable registration however this seems to be...

We just had 5000 housings installed in our C75 and there is a definite improvement although our black is still screwed. Time will tell if these housings are better or not.. we've had new dev housings installed on a nearly weekly basis so far.
