    Methods for reducing static on Duplo 646

    My running joke with our Duplo 646 is the D in Duplo stands for double feed. If you find a solution, please share.

    Versant 280 Saddle Stitch not folding even...

    There are mechanical fold adjustments in the booklet maker and HFSI settings for various book thicknesses that the tech should delve into or should call their second level support for help on.

    Ricoh B/W Digital Presses

    Thanks for asking. I've been using a 2012 Xerox C75 for my carbonless machine and was mulling an 83xx if I can find a source for parts and a service manual.

    Canva acquires Affinity apps

    Good. Adobe is stagnant. Hope Canva can make a competing RIP algorithm that isn't a crazy overpriced too :P

    Seeking Manuals/Tech information for Standard Horizon SPF-20 and FC-20

    Buy something from a used equipment refurbisher that fixes Horizon gear, to establish a relationship, and then ask them if they can provide you a scan of the manual page or the whole manual.

    Print Shop Departments and who goes where?

    Having prepress housed with production makes it easier for production to bring forward issues with file setup, and for pre-press to get hands on with their output to better understand what they're setting up.

    Swapping out year old KM7090 for Ricoh 7500

    I quoted a Ricoh 7200 almost a year ago and the 5th color station was going to be about $20,000 to activate. I think a more pertinent question is how good are the Ricoh and Canon techs in your area? My experience is limited, but I went from having a lemon V3100 to a rockstar V3100 when the tech...

    Recieved an insane quote for Formax ColorMax8 parts

    Call Formax directly? Affinia has a similiar looking memjet envelope printer. They might be a resource or a Google rabbit hole for finding service manuals and parts. https://afinialabel.com/envelope-and-packaging-printers/cp950/

    The Profitability of Living Large

    Thanks. If it isn't confidential, what are your main workloads? I'm forseeing vehicle graphics, stickers, posters, and wallpaper. Other ideas are pocket folders and door hangers if we can find the right media.

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    Its too bad you don't have an extra 2nd BTR to swap in to split test, but the halftone sheets indicate that your issue is not 2nd BTR because they are single sided. Could be a scratched fuser or IBT belt, or roller, or used up IBT cleaning blade. Not likely a RoS window because multiple colors...

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    Plausible. Are you printing both sides of the sheets do the banding artifacts line up with the "dirt" on the 2nd BTR roller?

    Xerox 2nd BTR

    Based on my C75 experience, the C70 and Primelink may be a struggle with slowing down for cardstock and having poor front to back registration.
