We went from a KM C8000 to 2 Xerox 2100's - we did notice that the fine detail in images was not quite as good as the KM. It was only if you look really close on a sharp hi-res image, but definitely not quite as detailed as our KM.

KM 1250 quotes 350gsm as Simplex approved.

That's awesome help, many thanks from the UK to Florida!

SRA3, Simplex, no bleed.

I need to regularly print long runs of variable barcodes on 350gsm Silk. Run lengths of 100k+ every month. Needs to be high quality and dry so Inkjet out of the equation. My only current option seems to be a KM mono machine. Any other ideas for my budget of £25k/$30k???

Up to 220gsm uncoated and coated. Simplex only. Printable area is 323 x 654mm

Thanks guys. What regions is the 660mm sheet option offered to?

Obviously we'll be doing some demos, but how is the colour consistency from sheet to sheet, and from day to day? We run a KM C8000 which does drop off a bit in density on a longer run, but I'm hoping the 2100 doesn't experience this? Also, how do people find the front to back registration...

Stick them back in the Held queue if you want to keep them - that's unlimited :-)

Carrying on from another thread, is the future of digital print solely to get as litho-like finish as possible? I'm thinking in particular about printing on uncoated paper - should the manufacturers be aiming for a flat, matte-like finish? Or would customers who are used to seeing the...

Without spending a fortune (<$150,000) which digital press produces the most matte print? I refer to printing onto uncoated paper especially. Xerox are making a big thing of their 'low-matte toner' on the Versant 2100. How does this compare to say a KM C8000?

I'd also go with a new machine - assuming you don't get another lemon you'll grow to appreciate what a good piece of kit it is. Sounds like you've been very unlucky. Keep us informed!

Great to see that you are now sorted. We're up to 400k on our C8000 and it's been a revelation really - runs so much sweeter than our 6500 and just swallows up whatever we throw at it. We've had the odd page with poor back-up - but we've learnt that putting the paper guides in the correct...

Hi csudman, We've had our C8000 since early October, and it's been running very well. I've only noticed 1 job where the image on the back of the sheet has shifted - I'm hoping this is a one off but after reading your post I'll be checking everything very carefully. We have a tiny bit of skew...

Thanks for the feedback - installation went very smoothly, looking forward to 2 days of training today and Friday.
