Buy a 2nd BTR from GMSupplies or eBay to keep running and put the bad one back in just before the service tech shows up.

V3100 here. I'm eyeballing switching to Ricoh C7500, C9500, or Fujifilm Revoiria 1120 (irridesse) if I can get a hybrid self service arrangement. My Xerox service, spare parts, and consumables are solid, but I think it is dumb luck that can disappear at any time.

Xerox seems to be coasting in a slow downward spiral. Fujifilm and now Sharp are competing with them with the same models, and Fujifilm in 2024 may have a serious iGen competitor with the Revoira (Irridesse) 26x29 B2 Press. I'm wondering of Fujifilm will struggle enough building a service and...

I'm looking for a Xrox C75 service manual (the C75 is end of support). Does anyone have a PDF they could share or point me towards a free or paid resource? Thanks.

Looks good in person and I think it has a lot of potential. HOWEVER, the fact that they are building a support team up from scratch and that this is a very new piece of equipment with new imaging tech and paper path would give me pause on pulling the trigger. I'd compare it holistically (ie...

Fujifilm told me that they are building a tech support organization in the US. They also have their own RIP and workflow software to compete with Fiery, Ultimate Impostrip, etc. They are willing to sell direct without going through a dealer. I'm going to talk further about a Revoiria 1120 to get...

I did a double take seeing an "Irridesse" in Sharp's booth at PU 2023, but sure enough, they are leaping into production print with it. Here's the press release. https://www.dpsmagazine.com/sharp-launches-new-bp-1200s-color-press-series/ I did not take the time to ask them what their value prop...

Here it is in person.

$11000 with the box template software.

I'm considering buying an Plockmatic/Intec SC6500 for making stickers and testing the waters with small boxes. Show special has modest savings. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with Plockmatic and/or Intec support in the US? I have not worked with this group or their equipment before.

A machine is physically present, but they don't have samples. The plan is to take pre-orders for the first few deliveries in North America, which will be in 2024. Pricing is under NDA, but should be "competitive", so I'd guess 1.5-2million if the competition is the KM1. The 12500 will support 6...

Speculation: heat management may be a challenge- both maintaining even heat and not distorting the media with too much heat.

https://www.fujifilm.com/us/en/news/graphic-arts-and-printing/fujifilm-to-exhibit-innovative-end-to-end-solutions-at-printing-united-2023 Can't wait to see this in person. I'll be sure to ask if it will feed A6 envelopes.

Some ideas to try: -check to see if the MAC in question is restricted from being assigned. A lot of MAC addresses ranges are vendor specific (Dell, Broadcom, etc) to avoid conflicts in the field. VMWare has specific ranges for VMXNet, 3com, etc VNICs. -check the switch's arp table to see if that...

Synthetic media generates considerable static electricity causing printed stacks to stick together or "brick" when running through digital printers. There are Ricoh 72xx operators in this forum who could provide specific guidance for that machine. Trotec and Polar-Mohr make laser cutters that...

For 'Muricans who have been to Drupa- Is it worth traveling from the US? How does it compare to Printing United in terms of vendor variety, professional development, training, etc?

They could be leaning on dealer support teams or a third party support company like Decision 1. Might also be utilizing Xerox support contracts like they did in the US a few years ago.

Epson's Workforce Enterprise inkjets go up to 100 impressions/minute are around $25,000 so that might be an option for a lower cost inkjet solution if you need variable data and CMYK. For single color, consider a duplicator. I've run up to 15000 sheets of NCR brand 3 part on my V3100 without a...

UPS vendors (Eaton, APC, etc) have pre-sales electrical engineers who can help you figure this out. Don't wing it.

There's a nylon gear assembly that strips out periodically on my V3100, which causes fuser belt issues, but not the registration issue you're showing. Part Number 007k98681.
