Thanks Keith All the best Tim

Hi Everyone, a friend has asked me to design a funeral order of service. She's over in Toronto with her Dad who's terminally ill. I wanted to ask a favour of the PP Hive mind 1. Can anyone recommend a printer in Toronto for a fast (24-48hr) turnaround 2. Can someone share the Toronto paper...

Yeah, i'm thinking boxing just the machine, smaller area to keep the temp and humidity controlled in. All good fun :-)

Running a booklet job on Saturday night, got some lines in the magenta drum. (I ran some 4 colour separations) and can see the lines on the magenta drum. Job was needed urgently, and I had the luxury of designing the artwork too, so I introduced some intentional marks on the artwork to hide the...

Hi All. Years ago, I used to run sheets on a Nexpress, it had a magnetic backing that was 'magnetised' after printing. I used to run a little roller up and down the back of the sheet. I can't for the life of me remember what that was. Does anyone know of any similar materials? I'm looking for...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Really appreciate you chipping in, some amazing options to try. All the best Tim

Hi All, I'm hoping someone on here has seen this issue, the engineers are stumped (just telephone support, so far). Video here, for visual folk (apologies for my droney ol voice :-) ) Machine been fine, i've been printing from USB, because the printer driver I have (MAC), doesn't show any...

It's an A4 creased and folded to A5. I wondered about the grain too, so ran the sheet, feeding on the short edge, but the issue just moved elsewhere. The kick on the back edge was worse Maybe some playing round with a few different sheets. Thanks for your response :-)

I wondered if there are any engineer settings I could access? Is it possible to boost the fuser temp a little? Or slow the sheet down at all?

Thanks for the reply, the sheet size is A4 Feeding on the long edge (Tail edge) meaning the last edge out the machine :) Thanks in advance. Tim

Hi All, I've just put in a new bit of kit, nothing major, but printing a specific application on this machine Ricoh MP C4504 250gsm / 300gsm Feeding from the stack bypass I'm getting a trail on the back edge (see below) Engineer coming on Monday, but they sounded a little unsure on the phone...

Thanks for sharing that, I'll go take a look. All the best. Tim

Hi everyone, I'm doing loads of photo montages at the moment, super time consuming. I have a feeling I've seen a plugin, but imagine I was proably dreaming. I was hoping a script or plugin might exist for illustrator or indesign, that could do the following. 1. I choose a bunch of photos (say...

Thanks Keith, I remember that software from my litho days :-) . Bit too rich for my blood at the moment, sure its worth every penny, looks like it'll be the manual approach for a while longer :-) I'll keep that software in the memory banks.

Hi All, I wondered if there is some hopefully inexpensive software that can do the following: 1. Take a 4 page folded document (in printers spreads), and separate out into single pages (1-2-3-4) 2. Take single pages and impose into printers spreads I need to do step 1, when I'm converting...
