    Ricoh Tech Conversation Today...

    We send PDFs (impose PDFs from Prinergy) to the Fiery on our Ricoh 9200 all day long. The only issues we have had are, the Fiery doesn't always honour overprints correctly, meaning we have to strip out Prinergy's trapping and re-trap on the Fiery (Indigo has no problem with Prinergy trapping)...

    Overs and Unders

    Here in Australia, back in the days before GST, when sales tax was payable at the last wholesale point of sale, artwork, typesetting etc including film negatives or positives were none taxable as they were considered to be an aid to production, therefore not sold to the customer.

    Stopped - 'Filter' failed

    No, it doesn't affect every printer in the world, only those who are trying to get by without a proper workflow. Perhaps it's time to move on to a DFE which will impose, separate, screen and output your files and give you much more control than you get by printing separations from a desktop...

    Recurring spot pattern on newspaper pages

    This sounds like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, if you had physical access to the machine, yes, of course you could hit the blanket with a hammer, but as soon as the pressroom foreman saw it, he would stop the run and ask the operators to replace the blanket, so such sabotage would most likely...

    User Preferences in Prinergy 8.3?
