Thanks for the reply Mailguru. That had crossed my mind, i've made sure its rolling on the right side. White copy tends to run the best Bottom colour is pretty bad Middle copy is really bad That does seem to point me down the road of the coating, what kind of sheet are you using on the Xerox...

Hi All, Running NCR, digital grade giroform on Kodak Nexpress SRA3 , getting lots of ghosting, print looks pretty pants. Salesman reckons lots of Nexpress users are producing NCR, so i'm hoping there is some setting that i'm missing. Doesn't seem to be fuser related. Help! Tim

I saw some of our work printed on this press just last week, rep came in with samples. We have a Kodak Nexpress, very expensive machine to run, considering using the versant for the commodity print (leaflets, flyers etc) and using the Nexpress for the very high accuracy stuff (spot UV work and...

Feel your pain, we're seeing the online market place becoming far more competitive and almost completely price driven. MailGuru makes some awesome points there, get yourself a plan to grow your client base, as invariably some will go and new ones take their place. Drill down with your costs...

We have a well worn M800 table, running the GTK software with the I-Cut camera, does anyone know if its possible to detect the edge of the paper, rather than using the registration dots? We have an application in mind to cut and crease box board, and need to cut and crease from the unprinted...

Thought I would take 5 mins, its nice to be nice an all that. We bought a Jetslit from Rollem 3 years ago, and it gets worked into the ground, we finished paying for the wee beastie a few months ago. Anyways, we had a slight hitch after all this time, and James the engineer and Stuart the MD...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. We've got a gizmo coming in to blow de-ionised air into the pile, which if its a full moon, and all the planets are in alignment could go someway to curing the problem. See how it goes, we're getting some cracking prints off the beast, so its worth...

Oohh, its the night before IPEX, yippee!! Wondered if anyone had heard anything about the KM1? Think it sounds like a corker, price tag a bit hefty at 1.2m pound sterling, have Konica mentioned the click price, or average cost per page? I'm off to London tomorrow to see whats new, will report...

Hello all, we run lots of sheet vinyl through our express 2500, operator is having a massive nightmare everyday fighting the static in the sheets, just wondered if anyone had a magic wand they could tall us about to help. Sheets are picking doubles from the tray, has anyone found any widget we...

I read in a recent article, about a business investing in.... "automated hemming and eyeletting machines" its a bind doing it manually and i didn't know it could be automated. Does anyone know who supplies this kit? I'm based in the UK. All the best Tim

We are looking to swap out a B3 format 5 colour press (not a heidelberg) with a Heidelberg Aniclor press, 4 colour with aqueous coater. I know about the anicolor, and usual concerns that are aired about making sure pre-press is bang on, and i'm fine with that. But another local printer said to...

Is there any inexpensive software, that we can just drag a PDF into, and it spits out a new optimised PDF optimising the ink (toner) usage. We've just been forced off a click deal with a kodak Nexpress 2500 , we're been put onto the ORC model and the toner cost is going to make the machine too...

We currently print jobs on a Kodak Nexpress 2500, we run lots of B3 board, and matt lam and SPOT UV using an Autobond SUV. Circumstances have changed with our current press supplier and we need to find an alternative. Its really important that we can get repeatable, day to day register to...

Afternoon all, I'm looking into a new process for the business, a machine using 'silver halide media' 12inch width and looking for rolls of the material, could take me donkeys to research suppliers of this stuff, wondered if anyone knew of a supplier to the UK to buy in bulk from? All the best...

Anyone have a work around for the rub issues on IGEN 4 presses. Got some samples off the sales chap, press sounds fantastic, however on all the samples the toner rubs like a sod! I can imagine that been a real pain in the backside when if we got one and customers complained about print...
