When it works, it works well. We had a KM6085 with this and it’s really a flawed design - has a few sensors that you need to periodically clean - with a stick - which only serves to push the dust around, requiring the technician to regularly take the whole thing apart to clean it. In theory...

Those are per job, under the “function” button, in the software.

My duplo settings for text weights: Air - 4.5 Thickness - 1 Elevator - 6 Do not use weights and keep the feed bar upright Side air - off Fan reg - off

I have a 7210 but assume some things are similar. 1. Always make sure you clean the inline scanner before running the routine. 2. Per each profile, set the registration function for HIGH QUALITY under advanced settings, this requires 35 sheets. 3. I assume you’re doing this, but make...

I used to have problems with this. One factor was getting rid of our km 6085, as everything off that had a lot of static. But I have a cheat sheet of settings I use every time I have text weight and I don’t have many issues anymore.

If I had to guess, this seems like Fuji being (understandably) reluctant to invest heavily in their own team of techs and support network, and probably plan to let KM shoulder that work. Yes I have seen job postings for Fuji techs and such but have to assume unless there are a lot of these Fuji...

I’ve seen two people smash their finger tips (fortunately that’s as bad as it got!) in the cutter clamp, so I recognize the need for safety measures!

I surveyed various trade partners in town before switching to Ricoh. I also had a list of references from Ricoh I reached out to (which of course I took with a grain of salt, that’s why I talked to our partners). I found people echoing my sentiment and experiences with KM unsolicited and...

I believe you when you say it doesn’t fold right. Ours couldn’t fold right, crease right, trim right, staple right, or slit right. And the worst design possible - every sheet passed through it even if you didn’t use the finisher, so sometimes it would randomly start slitting my job (crookedly...

I switched out a KM 6085 for a Ricoh 7210 March 2022. It’s been awesome - service is fast and fixes it the first time, I have a bunch of parts on hand for common issues, printer basically “just runs.” I don’t have anything nice to say about my KM experience… though I know some people like...

IMHO - windows defender is sufficient unless you have a particularly computer / common sense illiterate employee using the workstation. I do believe that for a business it’s critical to have all data stored externally / probably in the cloud, for this reason and for when the computer...

You can probably cheat the machine by sending a blank file to your Fiery, and feed from whatever tray it’ll allow (I used to have a J75 that would allow me to feed from the post inserter tray). May or may not charge a click, in my experience it did not but they may have closed that loophole.

I was gonna mention - 6. That is reassuring, when the client sends you on a wild goose chase on questionable websites to find a font they didn’t include or a vector image. To add to my post - I have an m1 Mac mini, medium spec (512gb ssd and 16gb ram) and it runs all the design apps...

I think it just comes to personal preference. I recognize flaws in both systems, and I have both in my office, but I prefer the Mac. That is probably largely because the Mac they bought was to my specs, while the PC is some cheesy throwaway business spec Dell.

More often than not for me if a customer wants a color match it’s to make something look “good to them” not to make it technically accurate. This is often to compensate for bad design or poorly lit photos. As long at the printer is fairly predictable and consistent I can generally put the rest...
