good to know, thanks for the feedback. we have a fairly basic Ideal Guillotine, but i have zero interest in manually cutting the cards on a guillotine. Will give a dedicated business card cutter a go at some point and might try to also get a die cutter at the same time for experimentation.

have you tried cutting business cards on it? at some point we intend to get a cutter to do business cards in-house, but we're not talking big volume so I'd also like to have some flexibility to try out other short run cutting tasks. this machine is not much more RRP than some of the...

much appreciated! thanks

thanks. i've tried using a syringe cleaning solution which didn't work. i've since also tried using cleaning cartridges. i did all the cleaning and purge cycles, and then printed pure cmyk until every last trace of ink had been flushed out. it didn't work. i will try one more round of using...

don't know about the other machines but if i'm not mistaken the C5300/10 will only print banner sheets of that length out of the bypass tray with the banner sheet extension fitted. the bypass tray capacity is quite limited. maybe look at whether the rival machines are any better in that regard.

Folks, my home inkjet (Brother J6530DW) is having some issues. Cyan has missing dots on the test page, and now a long streak on the trailing edge. See attached scan. Cyan was ok if using maximum print density, but the test pages never came out complete, & anything printed using normal density...

the C5300/10 has an in-built Ricoh controller which can be used as a regular printer driver alongside the Fiery ( at least it can with our external fiery ). I don't know if that is going to give you enough scope to handle colour management issues, calibration, paper profiles etc though.

double check the limitations of the in-built fiery. i have the c5310 with external fiery. i can't recall all of the limitations of the basic fiery except it wouldn't allow for e.g. tab printing which is essential for us. you want to be sure it's not lacking any essential features which you...

If you're thinking of going refurb i would have thought the main benefit of that would be if it means your commitment is shorter due to the lower purchase cost of the machine. e.g. if the machine is only worth 10k rather than 50k new, if that means you can get a short lease agreement of say...

this is interesting. are there any other beta programs or 'cookbook' type sites for other aspects of CWS - particuarly Jobmaster?

do you might me asking what you mean by 'screens' in the context of digital printing. i tried googling it but i only found reference to physical screen printing e.g. onto garments. i'm a complete noob when it comes to the more graphic side of production printing - I mostly use our machines for...

you also have no idea about whether you are getting value for money if you don't compare and negotiate based on competing offers. your current supplier knows what your current deal is. so they have little incentive to offer you a sharper deal unless you push them - you have to keep them honest...

so you had a machine which you weren't happy with, and you weren't satisfied with the level of service where they were leaving multiple problems open and unresolved, but you think you are on good terms with Canon? you might want to rethink that and get competing offers from the other major...

Chat GPT suggested creating a python script to log in and download the logs automatically, but i haven't really got the time to try that out tbh.

I really want to find a way to automatically download the printer clicks off the machines every month but haven't figured out automating that yet. i always forget to do it each month and then i have a hard time reconciling the click invoices with the printing totals.

much appreciated, thank you!

I've been sent a 1000 page PDF. at the bottom of each page are two blank text boxes (i know they're not actually boxes, but you catch my drift). What is the obvious way of automatically deleting them all in Acrobat Pro? I tried redact across all pages but i received an error. I tried cropping...

thanks for the feedback, folks, some good ideas here. Like the sound of the rotating table :) like a less interesting lazy susan.

we don't have much space here but we have a very long corridor outside which we can temporarily occupy for large print runs. which got me thinking, I should get some long tables which can be folded away when not in use, for when we have to produce large runs of documents. A wall-paper table...

you're confusing the password of the fiery controller with that of the onboard engine menu (probably not the correct terminology) by default the password is probably blank with admin as the username.
