To be honest I didn't do it for long. I really just ended up keeping multiple spares on site and replacing it more often. If I was running NCR I'd throw an old one back in if I'd recently replaced it. Literally have the change time down to 2mins. I've found same with the refurbished versions...

Most production machines don't print the security dots as standard in bw.

Came across this video on sleeking. Explains all very well and some tips etc. At about the 13min point they explain depending on the stock they run anywhere from 4 to 50 layers of black toner before sleeking! I thought that must take forever until I googled that the Indigo press they use can...

This is where I am now, the Register Paper Feeding Positions (RPFP) corrected the skew so I can adjust that now in both directions but it's maxed out the side to side on certain stocks. The print registration is bang on throughout the jobs so I think I need to get them back to test the base...

I'd recommend this, you'll need to find an out of school designer who may be interested in developing their printing knowledge. An experienced designer will only be interested in a full time graphic designer position, and would need to be paid accordingly.

So you want to hire a graphic designer to operate printing presses and pay them a low operator wage plus commission? Alot wrong with that idea. Sales people get commission to encourage them to make more sales, why would a press operator take a low wage and get commission?????

Thank you TJPrinter. Just got in the shop and ran that Register Paper Feeding Positions and it appears to have fixed it. My adjustment parameters are still the same on the skew but the adjustment needed is pretty much in the centre point of each so plenty of range to move either direction...

I think you're right with the feeder misalignment. The calibration sheet is wildly off, to the point of the crosshairs in one corner are slightly off the edge of the sheet. When they installed it I had to take the showroom feeder for the first two weeks before my new one arrived. I don't...

Hi, Recently got a v280 installed and having trouble with skew. Working on new alignment profiles as we progress through different stocks but have got stuck with a 300gsm gloss SRA3. Basically when I run the SIQA one side is straight but the other still needs more Skew. When I check manual...

No clearer but just to add, we got a 280 recently (in Ireland and no performance/ASRS options) and when I go into CWS - Device - General Info ours is listed at the very top as VP280 - V.3.0

I find the temperature is key, a few degrees too hot I get random specs across the sheet, too low and it doesn't melt the toner enough. Very fine balance in my experience. I'd also recommend starting as soon as your laminator is up to temp, don't let it sit there.

Something seems strange, you're either getting a bargain on the KM or being ripped off with the Xerox. Have Xerox offered any pricing on the V280 (would need 32amp)?

Just in the office now and the 400gsm Magno Silk SG I use is 412mic. Also to note that was on the V80 which was only rated to 350gsm max.

We used to run 400gsm all the time on our old v80. Not sure what mic they used to be but some where bulky enough. Registration was never an issue. Grain direction is important, mostly card stocks would be Sra3 short grain but odd ones might be cut from larger sheets.

We recently updated v80 to v280 and during the negotiations this c9200 was mentioned. I didn't get pricing but sample prints were great. I felt it was a glorified copier. For us it wouldn't have worked as speed is very slow. I asked a tech and he said none had been sold here yet in Ireland but...
