We're about to be up on a lease with an older Konica C7000 machine and want to install a mid-volume printer like the V180. One of the main areas we need help in is envelopes and Xerox/local partner are saying the machine handles envelopes well. Wanting to get a feel for users out there about...

Does the v180 run envelopes well? That's what xerox is telling us but would like to hear from actual users. thanks

Steve4 thank you! Would it be possible to upload higher resolution photos if you get a chance?

Hey guys! Thanks for the posts!! Im going to get with the press operators tomorrow and get back to you all. Alibryan: Our 40in is a 2007 Heidelberg SM102. Our 29" is a 2001 SM74. Problems exist on both presses. We measure dot gain with handheld Xrite 518 densitometers (factory certified every...

No Title Attached are two photographs that I consider good examples of the problem. Both pictures are of gradients that were printed in 20 micron stochastic-screening. A third picture is of a proof and our printed result. The third picture was printed in traditional screening 175 line 2400 dpi...

I've asked about this topic a few times already and we're still experiencing some unsatisctory results on our sheetfed presses. We operate two SM presses from Heidelberg: an SM74 and an SM102 both 5 color plus coated presses. I've noticed that we tend to see a lot of trash or marking in a lot...

Hey all - we're considering moving some consumables to another vendor (deeper incentives with new vendors...you know the game) and was wandering if anyone had a brand/series of blankets they like to use and would recommend we try? We run an SM102 5 color 2007 press. Thanks!

Gordo, Then would you say that the goal would be for CMY to gain respectively with each other at 25, 50 and 75% as opposed to shooting for an LAB value for the grey balance?

I guess my question was geared more towards "are people realistically maintaining G7 standards for long periods of time, like between annual recertification?" Our press color bars can be scanned in a database and the results for dot gain and grey balance be tended. and what we've noticed is...

How often are most people adjusting their press curves, especially those targeting GRACoL using G7

We've had demos on Fuji's XMF and it looks like management is interested in moving from Prinergy to XMF. For those that have migrated from Prinergy (or any other system) to XMF would you mind sharing any problems you stumbled upon? I am sure that XMF has the capabilities of doing what we...

Hello out there! We have a customer that is wanting us to produce hang tags in 14-18pt C2S in and 87-88 bright white sheet. None of the main brands that we have access to: Carolina, Tango, etc. are in the 92-94 bright arena. Is there anyone that could point me in the right direction? Thank...

Stephen, It is found especially in gradated tones and crossovers. We see on coated sheets. Litho print

Hello all. Attached is a photo of our current screening settings within our 5.2.2 workflow. We are experiencing some issues in grainy screens and gradients and I wanted to reach and see if anyone had some suggestions on what kind of screening angles they use. Thanks!
