An update to my concern regarding Publisher PDF handling. I received a file from a regular client. File was made properly in Indesign and exported as a PDF with crops and bleeds for us to print. Wanting to see how it looks if I dropped it in Publisher gives me horrific results. Not sure how...

Was just trying something in Publisher, took me a bit to figure it out, definitely a learning curve when coming from Indesign use after so many years. Does Publisher not have a separations view? Tried searching for it and nothing came up. This is another big key item missing. Could probably get...

Had a sales guy in today and he gave us some pricing on ink for our Epson 9900. Now I have never used non Epson inks. Is there any reason to avoid on Epson branded ink? This is for our Epson 9900.

No, but many people do and I would say it is a pro feature that should be there if they really want to try and compete against Indesign. I tried importing a PDF that I had issues with on the beta and still has issues. It does not seem to want to just import the PDF but wants to make it editable...

I am not as positive about Publisher. I tried the beta and it was ok, had some serious issues handling certain PDF's that Indesign handled with no problems, I will reserve judgement though to try with the full version and hope it was sorted. Also not having any variable data handling...

You can also rotate the play and grip from the other end even if the one end is punched. I have done that a few times if a corner gets kinked while trying to load.

Yes, can be reloaded. Same as ChrisZ, done it many times, no issues.

Looks interesting, I like the take up conveyer belt thing they have. Not sure about the feeder though. Looks like it has to sit on a high cap tray and if you have those you can just load up both trays and let it run. When one is empty fill it up while it prints from the other tray. I do this...

I think Quark is full featured, it was when I started. I just did not like the layout of the application, the way it handled files visually. I much prefer the UI of Indesign and did from the very start when I gave Indesign try after using Quark for a few years. Indesign just seemed to make sense...

I just pushed to have everything reset in Indesign. Most jobs that would get a reorder were not complicated files, generally business cards, envelopes, letterhead, all easy enough to duplicate quickly. Thankfully it has now been a few years since that has even come up, think we might be finally...

As DYP said you might be able to get somewhere close to what you are after but it will probably be at a price of improper fusing. I find the Versant already looks pretty matte especially compared to the J75 which had a much shinier toner.

I would be going up the food chain. We fought with Xerox for a year with a lemon J75. Eventually they replaced it at a reduced price for a Versant 2100. If the techs are not getting anywhere go to your sales rep and get a hold of his boss. If things don't move fast or far there keep going up. It...

I would keep hounding the techs and sales guys and anyone above them till you get these things resolved. That is a fairly new press I believe and they probably have a bunch of kinks they need to figure out and it looks like you might be one they learn from unfortunately. Are you dropping PDF's...

Many options for this. We use a company out of Quebec called Prisme Technologies. They have great support which is important, they are always quick to get back to me with an issues. You make an account for your client, they can have all sorts of forms on this web store that only they have...

In most cases you should be able to edit the text in Acrobat Pro. If you outline the text it will not be editable with any software as it is no longer a font. You could outline and open in illustrator but the only changes you could make are the colour and the size.

You can print a full sheet with bleed on the Ricoh Pro C7210x? That is something I would definitely want in a printer. We can do that on our Epson 9900 and it is a huge time saver for some jobs. Had not heard of this feature being around for any digital press.

If the file is setup properly I just impose with Imposition Studio Pro. Always print on 12 x 18 or 13 x 19. The only thing I ever seem to print on 11x17 is manuals with no bleeds. Save the PDF from Imposition Studio Pro, drop it in CWS, select paper and print. If the file needs correction it...

We had a J75 with high cap tray. The J75 was a nightmare and Xerox eventually took it back and replaced it (on steep discount) with a 2100. I took the envelope bracket from the J75 high cap tray, otherwise I would be limited with only running from one tray without the bracket. Now if I could...

The only thing that is not efficient about a 2100 running envelopes is the take up tray. Fills up in about 2 mins with #10 envelopes. Other then having to stand with it for the job it whips through them. I load up both high capacity trays and having it constantly running with no stops. One tray...

Can't speak for the KM but our Versant 2100 has been a rock solid machine. Consistent colour and great tools for calibration and alignment with the full width array have made my life much easier. A lot of it does come down to service though, we have great guys in our area, heard in other places...
