Had exactly the same problem when trying to clear foil a couple of years ago. Even though it may be old, below is a link of a website which gave me the answer at the time: https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots

I used to have a similar problem at our previous location. Next time this happens, try this little test which I used to use: Heat up the sheet by printing a tiny black dot on the page (outside of the print area) and then put the same sheet through again but this time with your CMYK image. I used...

I use a V80 so I'm not sure what the equivalent setting is on the V280 but change the paper type setting to Embossed or Cast Coated at the heaviest paper weight.

Just to let you know, Xerox are discontinuing the Versant 80 at the end of 2024. I think this might make it harder to get parts/consumables

I queried this and have been told by our dealer that end of life for Versant 80 is end of 2024 (I'm based in North London)

This has been an ongoing problem for years which is why Xerox added the fly wheel. Slowing the machine down using the NVM method is what I do to eliminate the band lines for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow but I've been told by my Xerox engineers that there isn't a solution for eliminating the black...

I've just tried putting a 305gsm Uncoated sheet with Solid Black through the guillotine and it's come out very clean. This now leads me to thinking that as mentioned by 'tngcas' and 'TJ Printer', there is too much give in between the glued sheets. I'm going to try printed the 2 sides on thinner...

It's a Dark blue 100C, 60M, 0Y, 60K.

Wow!!!! I've understood all of your solutions and am going to give each one a try but I must admit, I like number 5!!!

I actually ran this job in slow mode due to the solid blue leaving CMY lines and since you mentioned it, do you know of any solution to get rid of the black banding line.

I've had a look and no it's not grain related. It looks the same on all 4 sides

Good shout!!! I've tried the silicone spray with the new blade but I might try gluing 2 printed sheets of 200gsm to a 350gsm centre sheet with a hotter fuser and slower speed. Thanks

Hi all you experts out there. I've printed a menu on my Xerox Versant 80 toner based digital press which is 2 sheets of 350gsm Silk. Both sheets have a solid blue background and they are then duplex glued back to back and after 24 hours I guillotine to A5. Front side looks excellent with nice...

Don't know if this helps but attached is a PDF showing knife change for my Polar 66.

When I'm about to put some sheet through for creasing on my Morgana Digifold Mk1, I put the feed on switch down and get a message on the display with the letter 'r', this disappears very fast and then a 'h' appears this disappears very fast again and then 'F' appears but nothing else happens. I...
