We certainly don't turn Publisher files away and find there is a good niche market in dealing with the types of file that some other printer (still) refuse or charge at a premium. We certainly encourage users to make their own PDFs, which is straightforward in the 2007/2010 versions using the...

We produce plenty of packaging dummies on 300gsm Trucard, but these are printed on our KM8000: niether inkjet nor small. I'm not sure that you will find an office printer that will do this. The best inkjet bet is probably something like an Epson R3000 or 4900, which will print on boards up to...

It isn't essential to use paragraph styles, but what Lukas said about selection is probably the key here. Your first screenshot looks very much like you have just the text in the copyright para selected and not the paragraph mark. Make sure that the copyright is a single paragraph. If you need...

You're quite right: our 1051 has a PF-703. I tend to glaze over when it comes to unit part numbers. Our 8000 has a PF-705, which will feed up to 350gsm and certainly handles Trucard 300gsm C1S with no problems at all. We also used to run this on our 6500 which had the friction-feed PF-701. Where...

We have a 1051, which uses the same feeder and I beleve is the same, or very similar, engine. We certainly run 300gsm coated, but there is 300gsm and there is 300gsm. How thick is this board? If it is C2S graphical board then it is likely to be much thicker than a standard 300gsm art. Also does...

It possibly depends on where in the world you are located. A lot of the envelopes that we use are supplied with open flaps. In the case of self-seal (not peel & seal) I'm not sure that they can be supplied any other way.

Give the Antalis sales office a call and ask about setting up an account. They have cash accounts where payment is by credit card online as well as normal credit accounts. A craft letterpress printer local to us has one of these (he uses us as a delivery point). It's then possible to negotiate...

Excess usage of toner Excess usage of toner I did have a vendor try this about 5 years ago. We received an invoice for a large sum claiming overuse of toner for six months or more. I asked to see the detailed calculations and then never heard anything more. I also explained that if a credit...

It depends on the machine and the stock. In this case we would probably run it as a single-sided static job, then flip and run a single-sided variable job.

Km 1051 Km 1051 No real cons so far, other than wishing that we had bought options that we didn't. In particular we lack the high-capacity output stacker. As with a lot of these machines, the standard finisher is not up to receiving large volumes. Curl on the output can be a problem with some...

We've had a 1051 (same engine as the 1200) for exactly a year and are pretty happy. I've just run about 70,000 clicks over the last two days and it hardly missed a beat. The suction-fed high-cap trays are recommended. When I bought this machine there were some very tempting clearance deals...

Bizhub pro 1200 Bizhub pro 1200 We've got a 1051 (exactly the same engine) with about a million on it. Typical monthly volumes in the 80-150k range. No major problems - it just seems to run. We have the suction-fed high capacity trays: they feed just about anything we put in them, including...

xerox DC2 240 for in house brochures I don't have a Xerox 240, so I can't help with those aspects of your question, and I'm in a different part of the world, so the situation in your location may be different, but a few points: Before buying any kit, I would look again at the costs of...

image reduction - do not want image reduction - do not want As the previous poster hints, there is no "conversion" taking place when your job goes to the Fiery. Command Workstation can display measuremnts in points, inches or mm; this is selectable as described. And even if there was an...

Black & white machine Thanks for the help so far. Unfortunately a typo in my original post changed the question a bit. It's a KM 1051 (not a 1050) that I am considering against the Ricoh. I'm aware that Xerox has similar machines (and Canon, and ...) but these are the final two on the shortlist.

I'm looking to replace a black & white machine which will need to do 100,000 - 200,000 clicks per month. The final choice looks as though it is between a Konica Minolta 1050 or a Ricoh 1107EX. Can anyone using either of these machines suggest good or bad points that I should be aware of? Chris

EFI impose vs Quite impose for Fiery Rip We have both, but use Quite Imposing Plus for virtually everything. Fiery Compose is OK for basic stuff (I've not really looked at the latest version - Sequence); Quite will do just about anything. The main question is where you want to do the...

Cocoon Silk 50% recycled (Antalis UK merchant brand, also sold under several other names) weights up to 350gsm, or 300gsm if anyone from KM is reading. Excellent results. Some feed problems at lighter weights with very heavy coverage. Skew/back-to-back reg. can be tricky at the very heavy...

As I understand it, the "Create Booklet" function is fairly limited. We just using for imposing A5 pages onto A4s for copier output etc. To do what you are describing is, however, pretty straightforward. We do it every day. I'll assume that the bleeds are already defined within the initial...

Imposing PDFs Imposing PDFs We do quite a lot of this sort of work. What you describe is fairly easy to achieve using Quite Imposing's trim & shift function. It's done in two passes - once for the evens, once for the odds, but after you have done it the first time, you can save it as an...
