I've been a memjet fan for a long time. I've had a colordyne 1600s for 6 years and picked up a used mach 5 last year. Color has always been fine, never great. Blacks were never that black, but it got the job done.
That said, noticed this using the new HP print heads. Has anyone seen one of...
Saw it, not as good as our memjet machine. Now I have 2 memjet printers, they do 95 of our envelope work, sometimes we broker or run on our digital machines if we need to hit a color.
Learning about the best way to use this software. Does anyone have a good baseline digital preflight profile .ppp file they would be willing to share? I know that the default CMYK profile works. But wondering if you all have tweeked yours? Thank you! BTW, have a older version, I know the new...
Thnking about my next equipment update. (Not doing anything now, just thinking out loud) I can but a lightly used heavy duty production machine for 1/3rd the price of new. But, I don't think Ricoh would service the machine. Where would one get service on a machine like this...
We are all digital shop with Ricoh gear and a Colordyne(memjet) inkjet printer for our envelopes and some letterhead. I'm working on an an acquisition that still has a decent amount of offset work. 1&2 Color. This new printer looks interesting. Its CYMK and grey, according the marketing...
I've seen samples that look good. It will be an interesting box. That said, I don't think its in market yet. I'm sure there are some test units out there, but I think its a few weeks from going to general sales.
Haven't had those issues.
Agreed, its not for everyone. It just works well for us and I happen to think dollar for dollar is the best "cheap" machine out there.
Sorry, The original was counted, we are getting about 250,000 per head I guess, we are on our 2nd print head. Are you what brand are you running? The margin hasn't been an issue.
First, I went and checked, we're actualy closer to 550,000. We've been through 1 printhead and almost 2 set of inks. I've spent 2125.00 in consumables in exactly 1 year and actualy have't opened 1/2 of the new set(we got the machine at the end of October last year). If if figure we've used...
Thats just not right, Our cpm is about $1.00 to $2.00 for a standard #10 with a corner logo address print and it's WAY faster than anything oki based. We have a colordyne(they are all pretty much the same box).
Window envelopes have to run short edge feed as they do skew with a long edge...
