Agreed, but we only have the document creative/print module as we are strictly a Direct Marketing Mail house.

Thanks, We have Adobe CS but I will look into FusionPro as a possibility, what I don't want to do is buy another bit of software just for a little envelope printer. I have asked the supplier to give us a machine for a few days to see if we can work around the issues with our current suit of...

Hey, Yeah we have PreS downloads thousands of variable data records in minutes, we have XMPIE a real VDP software package and the normal in-design and Adobe package for art manipulation. We should theoretically be set up ready to go on any type of printer...... Have just found out that this...

Are yours generic? Ours is Variable Imaging and variable addressing between 1,500-50,000. Although we do break down all our bigger files to 10,000 clumps maximum. printing to pdf first makes our file huge. We also tried sending down as a PS file with little success. They are suggesting Microsoft...

Hi What software are you using to get data into the Mach 5? I am in the middle of discussions with regards to purchasing an Astrojet (which I believe is the same machine).

Hi, I had the machine onsite for a couple of hours and the quality was quite reasonable, but the printer slowed down hugely when I put some variable graphics in to the data. This was using flexmail software. How are you guys sending down your data to the printer to keep it running at rated...

Hi all I am currently looking at getting a machine that can print onto plain envelopes and am looking at the AstroJet M1 Colour Inkjet printer with Memjet technology. Purpose of printer, to print Variable addressing, Postal Indicia, senders address details and colour imaging in one pass. My...

I have run the same printers also for many years and I agree they all pretty good machines. If I had to pick one though I would go with the Nuvera, it is slower than the rest (unless you get the 288 and print a lot of duplex) as it seems to handle a larger variety of paper types, the Nuvera...

I agree with Josh, Our click charge is 40% less than what we have on our x2 8000's and as you said I have the same oil streak problems that have now gone with the 1000. The maintenance side is very simple cleaning corotrons and toner output stations but as far as I am aware really can't do too...

Xerox Igen4 and probably the 1000

I agree, our 1000 is around 40% cheaper than the 8000AP click cost

Hi The 5th Toner is an optional extra (for us anyway) and we do have to pay for the clear toner as extra also. By my understanding there is also an option for six toners, obviously CYMK plus (don't quote me on this bit) an option on a lighter Cyan and lighter Magenter this allegedly gives a...

Hi The 1000 was running really well! RIP's really fast, prints at rated speed - so far printer has not caught up with processing which is always a good thing. quality really good. We are doing some testing on stock types at the moment, have printed on 45gsm and upto 400gsm both on duplex. Specs...

arossetti What design tools are you using for the document creation?

It's all go, the RIP on the 1000 is 5 x faster than the 8000AP, we had a race..... Quality is so much better, not as washed out on solids as the 8000. now starting to play with the clear toner. I understand in a month or two there will be a setting on the printer to do a flood seal with out...
