NEED TO BUY LT-211 Large capacity tray for KM C500. Will pick up in CA SF Bay Area - can pay shipping from other US. Jerry [email protected] 408-879-9626

I agree with the above posts - the Risograph is ideal for this use. We have two of them in service for this exact purpose for 10+ years. Notes: 1) Inks are not fast drying, but scanning and printing as light as possible solves this on all but the red inks. 2) Yes, tape the edges of the print...

They are correct They are correct Prior posting is 100% correct. Our specialty is small orders. Once set up the process is turnkey - send the list, send the artwork, it's in the mail! Jerry Glitchbusters 408-879-9626

How can one perform SCANDISK on the hard drive of a network-connected printer, specifically a Canon iRc3220? This very low copy count printer will not start except to produce an error code that indicates that the hard drive is faulty, so I want to perform this basic function before replacing...

The Plot Thickens The Plot Thickens A few days ago I started the Canon to further assess the situation using the information my crew of experts has offered. The darn thing operated normally - ran 300 Full-Color pages with only one page smeared! Yesterday I again started the Canon - got...

Many thanks. You confirmed my thinking that I must get a certified Canon tech to get involved. Jerry

My Canon iRC3220 began printing very dirty copies - streaked yellow and gray. It looked like some part inside must be filled with used toner then smearing it in various locations on the printed sheets. Sometimes on the side, sometimes on the top, sometimes down the center, and sometimes not at...

I learned today that this RIP does provide color protection using a PMS simulator. Makes sense, and your input sounds like the same approach. First thing tomorrow I'll get going with that program. Many thanks. By the way - where in the world are you?

Here's my challenge in the case at hand: The three-color logo artwork is sent to me in a jpeg. I have approved hard copy of the file. I have customer's PMS numbers for the colors which visually match what I see on the hard copy. Using the customer-provided PDF version of the jpg file I get...

RIP is Fiery. Fiery screen shows 50 C-K.

I need to be sure that the color printed matches the color sent. Assuming that the spot colors used in the file my customer emails to me are the Pantone colors they say they are, how do I adjust my printed result to match Pantone? I have a Service Manual, but I'll accept any tips you can offer.

UberTech, Success! New Drum, initialized per manual*, a few almost-panic moments, and it produced the 1,100 copies I needed. *Your initialization tips were very important in helping this novice printer owner-repairer find and understand what "Old Trusty" wanted me to do for him. Thank you...

Registration looks OK on the letter size I'm trying to run. I worked around the yellow edge problem by running the job as "8 1/2 x 11 R" in order to stay away from the probelm edge. Worked fine until it shut down as described in last post. I do have the manual but still have been unsuccessful...

Cleaned up, re started, ran fine for 994 copies, shut down while printing, code 45-20. I revisited all the previous steps but it shuts down with code 45-20 (F45-20 Color registration correction results in abnormality) while initializing. Does needing drum replacement (which it obviously needs...
