Greetings from Vancouver :-) I'm a tech for Xerox. I work with PrimeLink and Versants all day long. For decades. The PrimeLink and the Versant both will allow you to control densities, which is a requirements for your kind of stocks. You'd want a professional finisher that comes with a decurler...
In the Custom Paper Settings you'll find a setting called Trail Edge something. Set that to 70% and you'll solve the edge problem there. For that band, get your service tech to look at that. I don't have those.
I'm a xerox analyst. The Iridesse and low gloss clear provides the best results I've seen on textured stocks so far. Better than anything I've seen personally on Ricoh's latest. Also the sharpness is something to see in person. I'd go with the Iridesse because they are so reliable (I'm working...
Xerox has the FS400Pro coming in soon but the real question you should ask yourself is if it'll support all of the features described such as page level rendering intent etc.
I saw samples and they are spectacular. The biggest innovation in the last decade. This stuff just pops! Seriously, I'd be into it were I a print shop owner instead of a Xerox analyst. The change is also very simple: no screws, 5-15 minutes max.
I've spent the last five years doing mostly C60 and Versants and Iridesses now. You won't regret the Versant its a different class of machine. If you do a lot of walk up copies however you have to know it takes 50 seconds or so from dead cold to print a sheet.
Hi Steve,
Thank you for replying. You see, I'm asking because I wrote a shareware swatchbook generator script for indesign for cmyk or mixedInk/cmyk+2 for the Iridesse. I want to write a ala Pantone Bridge version that'll span the rainbow however I wanted them in chapters, color-name based...
Is there a science to determine where orange starts and end, in numbers?
Okay, so have colours been quantified. Orange in LAB can be from here to there?
It illustrates the absurdity of asking for a ballpark price on something whose price can vary wildly from the bare model to the five times that price depending on configuration.
Absolutely. I'm sorry if I seemed to intrude. I think every vendor has had, and will have of course, some less than inspiring moments with customers. It's quite plain in your case that it was exemplary. I see these days great things in each vendor and its good to see such competition, good for...
