I think a sleeker would be a much better solution.

I don't have that machine, but I was able to find this. Hopefully something in there is helpful. http://support.ricoh.com/bb_v1oi/pub_e/oi_view/0001074/0001074901/view/trouble/int/index_chap_07.htm

I just ordered 12 boxes of toner last week for our ImagePress 10000 and it came to $197 which seems about right for freight. $500 seems high, but maybe you order a lot more than we do at a time.

Yeah, they're charging us too. My boss was pretty pissed, but so far hasn't had any luck fighting it.

But BROTHER makes printers. It's all starting to make sense now!

Generally in-line finishers treat each file as a set, so unless there's some kind of subset finishing option in your controller, you'll need to send it as 500 1 page documents. It should be pretty easy with a hotfolder. Acrobat has a feature that allows you to split pages, so you could just tell...

Have you tried running NR short edge? It's slower, but it might prevent the dog ears.

How do you print to your fiery? Are you using Hotfolder, or the print driver? Your driver might be overwriting settings. I don't use the driver for anything on our printers.

Unfortunately our shop uses Canon's PrismaSync controllers so I haven't used a Fiery in about 10 years.

A PDFX/4 workflow could probably prevent this. You can go here to get test files and instructions on being compliant. You shouldn't have to flatten or anything once you get it working, and it will eliminate tons of future issues.

Canon/Oce has a headquarters in Venlo which might be a selling point for service and parts availability. I wouldn't go with in-line finishing, I'd get an offline machine that you can continue to use no matter what printer you use. An offline booklet maker will last you several generations of...

It's been my experience that vendor samples are usually not quality controlled. I've seen samples of Canon's iX with print head strikes, and that's a million dollar machine. We have the nxt, and these voids pop up occasionally, but I just wipe the head with a lint free cloth and it's back to...

We have one machine in a carpeted room and one on concrete. I've never noticed any issues on either machine. If you're concerned with spills just buy a toner vac.

The 750 is an Imagepress. If the new V models have corner registration then it should solve all of my complaints with registration. That's what our 10000 uses and it's fantastic.
