You likely have to go back upstream. Converting a file from ICC-X to ICC-Y does not yield the same result as a file that originated as ICC-Y. When you do an ICC conversion, it associates new density values to preserve appearance within the confines of the profile being converted to - essentially...

The IC307 color profiler utility is fantastic. Set your CMYK working space in your Adobe products to Gracol, set the input profile on the RIP to Gracol, and set the output profile and calibration set to Linked. Use the profiler utility to build a custom output profile on a coated sheet and on an...

The C8000 is spec'd to run up to 350 gsm which encompasses all 16pt I'm aware of and a handful of 18pt depending on manufacturer

I'm in the US, but in the US the FS-607 and FS-612 will only accommodate sheet sizes over 12x18 to the sub tray, and anything 12x18 or less to the main tray. To get larger volume output of sheets over 12x18, you have to move up to the FS-521 staple finisher or the LS-505 stacker.

Ah understood. Yes it has everything to do with the snap of the paper traveling through transfer, so grain direction and rigidity are the 2 big factors.

There's a function called "Thick BK Mode" that increases the tension of the first transfer rollers which will stop the vibration on heavy media that causes the band. Your technician will have to enable the option via dip switch and then the option will be available to toggle on or off in the...

Do you own a C8000? This sounds off. There's no slow down related increased dwell time with 2 fusers - the reason there's 2 fusers is so that you can maintain speed across substrates (text weight uses 1 fuser, cover weight uses both, mixed media can run cover through both and text through 1)...

The C6000L is simply a C6000 that can only be configured with the 2500 sheet paper feed option(LU202), an embedded RIP, and the multi-function finisher option(FS612). You can configure a C6000 with identical options and it will be more expensive than a C6000L, so if those are the only functions...

It would be the bizhub PRESS 1250 now (the 1200 wasn't recently re-launched with some additional features and 5ppm speed increase as the 1250). It will eat up 70# gloss text all day long. It has vacuum feeding, holds rated speed up to 80# gloss cover, and is rated for up to 130# gloss cover. The...

You really have to look at it as 2 markets. You can't say "if money were no object" and then compare an HP 10000 to a C8000 running full tilt next to each other. The C8000 and Xerox 800 address a very important piece of the market that used to have to overcome a $16k lease payment every month...

The C6501's had a global adjustment for fuser roller temp, but there are 3 independent adjustments for it at each edge and the center of the roller. The newer models have the ability to tie fuser temperatures to specific media names in the paper catalog but this was not available on the C6501...

jpnunes- The CMYK line on the edge of the sheet is likely a timing issue which may be the root of your jamming problem as well. There is a densitometer looking at the intermediate transfer belt, and in between image frames the engine prints a full width control bar in the cross direction of the...

One of those things that you have to ask with this - most uncoated papers have one side that is far smoother than the other. Any chance that it is just the difference in the paper surface that is causing the density to change from one side to the other? You can test it pretty easily if you want...

I've never evaluated the DP87000 extensively outside of seeing it at Graph last year but I've gotten some feedback from those who have. I must say though, where is the ROI on this thing? I know that it will satisfy some unique applications and if you can fill up press time with just that work it...

You need to create a VDP file and import it to the RIP on the printer. The 1050 does have a RIP, it is just embedded, and since it is an older engine it does not accept what are now commonplace forms of native VDP files such as PPML and VPS. The Fiery on your C6500 SHOULD accept PPML, assuming...
