Thank you Arossetti. I'm beginning to wonder if the OKI pro series is too new and third party suppliers haven't had time to get consumables into the pipeline just yet.

Thank you Happy. I'm certainly familiar with the search feature, and I know "Google is my friend", etc. But I've found nothing helpful in previous posts, which is why I then posted. If you re-read my questions, they are specific to the OKI pro series, and whether these toners are in fact 1)...

I am considering purchasing a dedicated digital envelope press for short run envelope work. I have a few questions that I can't seem to get clear answers on. 1) I am told Xante chips their toners, meaning that have to be purchased from Xante directly, and will obviously cost more. But now I...

We currently run a Canon 7000VP. Regarding the dual fusing units, it's my understanding that this is what creates the ability to run all stocks at rated speed without slowing down. Uses the single fuser, or two fusers, as needed. Also helps with mixed media, so no slowing down to cool the...

Thanks PrintTriks. I thought the demo you mentioned was a temporary onsite installation. My bad. We too have many ImageRunners, which yes, have single fusers. My concern was more about production color with a single fusing unit on the Ricoh. I know it has a liquid cooling unit, which...

I'm curious of two things, if anyone can offer info: 1) What was the "demo" terms - i.e., how long do you have the machine, what is your commitment, do you pay for clicks, are they unlimited, etc.? 2) What are people's thoughts on the single fuser? We currently have a Canon 7000, and...

While we can use the physical crop tool in Acrobat X Standard, the ability to fine tune with exact dimensions in the crop tool is unavailable (grayed out). I was told about three weeks ago that was a known bug and it would be fixed with the next upgrade. We need the ability to crop, but not...

Here is a loaded question, that can be taken in many directions. But without starting the conversation, I continue to get more frustrated by the day. Does anybody know of a way - person, business, process - of learning all about color management and creating a consistent, color managed...

We use custom profiles for our large format printer (HP 5500PS), which were developed from an Xrite Pulse system. They've worked perfectly in the past. Since we upgraded our workstation hardware, which includes Windows 7, none of the profiles work anymore. Calls to HP, Microsoft and Xrite...

Seems to be quite a divided camp over this. I had received a quote from Discount Labels, but I like the idea of presenting the scent innocuously vs. a scratch 'n sniff, rather than having to announce it, at which point it would seem to cross over to gimmick. Banditto, thanks for the insight...

Thanks Gordo and Coolio. I will take your point into consideration. This is a chocolate themed event, and the client is very excited about the idea of a chocolate scent as an added "emotional" touch if you will. Coolio - what is a finseal? I'm not familiar with the term. And while we here...

We are in the midst of a cross-media campaign and wanted to add a scent to the direct mail piece. I know you can purchase scented varnish through places like Scentisphere, but varnish doesn't apply well to our digital printing (Canon 7000). This is going to be a folded invitation, in a clear...

Thanks for the clarification Che. And I agree, that's an oversight by the press operator that is unforgivable. At the very least, it should only happen once and then a painful lesson is learned. I wasn't aware of the the Acrobat process. Another notch in the knowledgeboard. Thanks for the...

Greg - tough position you are in with your client. But I do have to say from the owner's side that I would feel that was our position to catch, not the client's. I would be extremely disappointed in my staff if they hadn't checked the clicks prior to running the job. Contrary to Che.c's...

Is anybody familiar with how to create QR Codes in bulk for PURL applications or other quantity useage? It must be some sort of reference, call-back or batching process than can be developed - similar to image personalization - but I can't find any material on how to accomplish this. Any...
