Years ago, The Quad Graphics sales training process would start with working in: the bindery, pre-press, ink lab, photo, and actually working on press. If you had actually worked in the plant, it made you confident and knowledgeable about selling the product. It was also a team sales process...

I like Xerox -- Wide, fast, high res 1200 dpi and easy to integrate. They are new to the market, but match better with commercial print applications.

Depending on budgets -- I have seen some very good converters for corrugated and wide format printers. If you production is going to grow, stay away from the "low end" on the wide format printers. If you are going strictly UV, give the guys at Vanguard or Fluid Color a call on the wide format...

This is a reliable and well made product. DPI is a stable and well established inkjet company that has been in business for years. It is a good move by Mark Andy.

Quad had the largest Gravure plants in the world -- primarily for printing Playboy mag. the Hefners and management wanted the images to be gravure printed. That was back when that "stuff" was actually printed.

There are usually two types of "satellite drops. In one case depending on the head manufacturer, a printhead may be designed to jet additional ink to lubricate the head, to keep the nozzles fresh and and hopefully unclogged. Memjet does this with a yellowish tint. In other instances, as you...

Both are thermal heads and they are not as durable as piezo heads made companies like Xerox, Fuji Kyocera etc. The page wide was developed initially for desktop machines and they were really not for production. You could get a replacement as a spare part for around $250. The Pagewide for the...
