    Overtime: Oh, the vanity of printers.

    Looks like print is dead, all the renewal stickers are at least 10 years old.

    Ricoh 8320 toner issues

    Thanks guys. I have reached out to our sales rep, and he was denied, but he tried again this week, and was able to up our limit. We also have an 8100 that has no problems getting toner. It seems that the 8300 series printers are the issue with it comes to toner. Maybe Ricoh has too many in the...

    Ricoh 8320 toner issues

    Is anyone else having issues ordering toner for their Ricoh 8320? We had this issue every couple of months since we purchased this unit from Ricoh. We go to order toner from their site, where we usually order 4 at a time, and then the site says we can't order that many. So we try and order just...

    Ijet color 1175

    We are looking at one now. I'm curious about print head life. And what is the duty cycle? When we all talk consumables, what are they for the 1175P? I mean we know the ink and the print head, but is there anything else. We currently have two Mach 6 styles machines, and they are WAY better than...

    Sonora X Plates

    When we were doing this, we used Windex with Vinegar. It works well.

    Quadient/Rena/iJetColor/Colordyne/Formax Users - Do your ink cartridges run out early?

    You may have an issue with the sensor that measures the ink levels. On the carts on the end that goes into the unit, there is a "window" that shows the level of ink. It could be dirty. Or the sensor in the unit could be dirty too. Check both and clean them both to see if that helps. We've had...

    Tech Support

    The one I hated the most from our Kodak tech was "it's within spec" when referring to the backup or registration. And then he would ask if we are using certified paper.

    HP and Canva Announce Partnership

    Someone brought up the point about Quark vs Indesign, when Quark was the 5,000lb bully. Adobe had just bought Aldus RagePageMaker and Freehand. Then took PageMaker made it more user-friendly and renamed it Indesign. And it took over Quark's clunky design and useability. This is where Canva can...

    latest InDesign beta opens/converts PDF files

    I do remember ALAP. They had quite a few very good plug-ins back in the day. And I remember when Quark assimilated them. I was not happy.

    Xante/Ricoh vs Mach 6 Envelope Press

    We have two Mach 6 and had the Mach 5 before it. I have seen the sample pack, not a highlight of the quality that these units can do. But it does showcase the different media you can print on. Except for coated stock. And as far as black imprints, we do hundreds of these types of jobs with...

    Ricoh Tech Conversation Today...

    We have Fiery on both of our Ricohs. We do not use the Fiery's Adobe PDF Print Engine to print, unless there is an issue with it printing our PDFs. Maybe with your new install, the tech turned that on by default. And maybe that is what Ricoh support is talking about when they mean print using...

    [SOLVED] iJetColor 1175P - Not printing to edge - First week with machine so probably something on my end. ALSO imprinting on masters issue.

    I have not run an iJetColor but on a Memjet there is a "Purge Bar Position" that we have had to adjust to get our presses to be able to full bleed. It is basically telling the press where it can purge the heads between sheets/envelopes. And we just needed to move it a bit further away from the...

    The Salary Strategy

    Fred is the innovator and you're just a copy. And now they "don't" have any extra money for copies. Fred is paid more, so he can do more now too. Never threaten to do anything, either do it or don't.

    What are Pantone P colours?

    I, for one, no longer see Pantone as a standard.
