It's best to use OEM inks. My experience is below: I brought home a HP T790ps that had been sitting and powered off for awhile. Started it up, it ran through its initializing cycle and soon was outputting perfect prints. It's a newer printer so it pumps the ink through the printheads everyday...

As great as other programs may be, Adobe is the standard and thus all our clients use it so we don't really have a choice. What I loved back in the day--before the cloud crap--everyone, say, was using Adobe CS4. CS5 comes out and of course, that ONE client got it right away and won't back save...

Thanks for the response. Probably best to also add some hinges on the cover that should help negate the cover pulling off the spine when pushed flat. Heat scoring is just that, a hot roller creases the book to the thickness of the spine. It is especially good if your creasing against the grain...

Can anyone tell me if you still have to use PUR glue for loose leaf sheets printed off a digital press. If I remember correctly, some methods of printing don't adhere to the cover (C1S) as well and others. Specifically looking to perfect bind 3/16" book with a C1S gloss lam. cover, text would...

Sounds like the lamination material is the issue. Printed mainly offset books and got into printing low runs for our customers via digital, so we laminated plenty of covers. We outsourced all of our lamination and never had any problems, like Eric said, our vendor laminated the covers with a...

At home I have a HP Wide Format (T790ps) and all I really can find to use is HP Click (which is a joke). If I want to do any multi-layups I have to do it in InDesign and then export as a PDF. It's brutal having previously come from a shop with wide format rip software. I've been doing some...

^^^^ This is a very good point. In my experience we had problems with our epson that we used for proofing. Verse HP, I believe Epson might have a slight edge in print quality and color reproduction, although, I haven't had any recent experience with newer Epson machines. One way to lessen...

Ricoh should be able to connect you to technical support or an engineer. 3-Phase power is run only to certain zoning, i.e., industrial. If your able to get 3-phase your going to have to spend the money for additional electrical boxes and running the 3 phase lines through your shop. I suggest...

Replying to an Old Post... Hopefully, info below will help others in selecting a wide format printer. The HP T120 is more of a office/production machine and will do everything you need. It's geared more toward architectural drawings (lineart) than photos. Looking at the specs it appears that it...
