Best thing to start with is a tiny-url to minimize the info needed in the QR. We've gotten best results there, and it allows for a much smaller size QR-say .33" to .5", which can be seamlessly integrated into a design. Most readers now have gotten to the point where contrast doesn't have to be...

Gotta agree. Don't think you're going to get that stock running consistently (or at all).

Check your firmware for an update, there were issues with this a while back but they addressed it I believe.

No problem. Baffle is failing at the second hurdle, dropouts have returned. Got a call back in to my guy to see where we go next. I say the asylum.

Tip for black smudges/overspray: print everything with the print setting for some kind of glossy stock. Uses less ink = less overspray = less customers saying, "What are those black smudges on my envelopes?" And make sure to clean the wiper wheel on Fridays, leave it sit for the weekend.

Apparently there is an "envelope kit" for the envelope printer. It's a small baffle that attaches just before the print head and pushes an envelope down and away from it as it passes through. Got it shipped overnight, so far-so good. Trying something with a little more coverage after I finish...

Color management is in the "throw at wall : what sticks?" category. Generate PDF, print one, go back to ID/AI, modify colors with your best guess, repeat until successful or you just want to give up and get the job out the door. And then there's the random need to rotate different sized...

We had a 560 in place for about 5 weeks while they were installing/certifying our 800. Thing ran like a charm. Auto-duplexing is so-so: registration didn't show any improvement over 250s. But it was a solid machine, and I put around 160k on it during that time, my only problems were running out...

We have that Morgana, good piece for proofs. Full runs go to the Duplo.

Nah, with. 12x18 runs against from our supplier (short), 18x12 with (long); shoulda clarified. We score them anyway on the Duplo but for plain-Jane customer supplied Publisher-created ones it works well without adding the step.

Sounds about where I'm at. There's just so few of them out there to get decent tips/feedback on still, feel like a guinea pig on this. It has its moments, but trying to recreate those moments is like splitting an arrow for the sheriff...

If you hammer them enough they'll comp you for wasted stock. Our 800 had some... let's say "settling in" to go through before we got it humming. Still some image quality issues on very heavy stocks (330gsm +) but overall the feeding is the least of my worries. Run everything from 50offset to...

Anyone with one of these who could pass along some tips it would be greatly appreciated. I can't keep it the printheads clear (dropout on colors), seems like I could more accurately draw anything with reds by crayon that it can print. Anyone having luck with one of these? Seems like a pretty...
