    Variable print on Tyvek

    I have a job that requires variable data printed on 80# Tyvek. I cannot find ANYONE in the UK who can do this. It needs to be done on a HP Indigo machine as other digital presses use too much heat and will melt the material. Apologies - I did find someone but having read their estimate, they...

    Winning a fight wit xerox - advice needed

    Ahhh the joys or working with Xerox. Possibly the worst organisation in the world? In our experience, if you have a problem with Xerox, you can try talking to your rep, you can try writing to them, you can even have your legal guys contact their legal guys - in the end you may as well go hump...

    We currently use Caldera Visual Rip+ version 7.51 All in all a great Rip for printing large format work. Recently we have noticed that our files process every time between copies. Whilst its only 30 or 40 seconds each time it does add to the print run on time sensitive jobs. Anyone got...

    Xerox 700 Stacker

    Thanks guys - the engineers are looking at it and love a challenge. Think the suggestions about larger format (A3 paper) may mean the amount is halved that of A4. Once the techs stop arguing I'll let you all know - thanks again.

    Xerox 700 Stacker
