    OKI 9431 alternatives more suited for our business

    EBA cutters are built very well. I bought a used EBA 550 about 27 years ago (manufactured in the early 80’s) and it still runs well. Power clamp, power back gauge but not programmable. Having a cutter that is programmable can be a time saver but if it means the extra cost is stretching the...

    Xerox Versant 3100 service

    I would guess that the OP doesn’t know how to do this, thus the post for help. Providing instructions on how to reset the error would be more helpful than stating the obvious.

    Xerox Versant 3100 service

    Partsdrop.com is not only a supplier of Xerox parts but they can also be an excellent source of technical information. Make sure before you power it back up after shutdown that you leave the front panel door open, do not close it until you get the message to close the door. It doesn't always...

    Xerox Versant 3100 service

    Sometimes you can clear an error by shutting down and restarting. Shut down with switch on outside of Versant and wait until it’s completely shut down. Then open front door and turn off main power switch. Wait several minutes and then turn on main switch leaving door open. Turn on by using...

    Konica Minolta and FujiFilm exploring a "strategic alliance"

    This is all very interesting. There's Fujifilm and Xerox, Fujifilm and Sharp and now Fujifilm and Konica. Next?

    Fiery Keeps Disconnecting - Do I really need a fiery?

    It’s a good idea to make sure you’re running compatible software and operating system as jwheeler pointed out. You can find all that information here from Fiery. You'll find that on the same page you can download older versions of CWS. The rip you have would be running on Linux and it shouldn’t...

    Fiery Keeps Disconnecting - Do I really need a fiery?

    This is what Fiery says about the 00 and FF. FF shown on the 7-Segment LEDs after the embedded Fiery controller becomes Idle or shortly at the startup does not indicate an error status. When FF is displayed during normal operation, it is similar to 00 as seen on previous models of embedded...

    OKI 9431 alternatives more suited for our business

    More in line with the OKI but a much better price and operating cost could be a Kyocera P8060cdn. The Kyocera printers have extremely long-life drums and they guarantee them for 3 years or 600,000 pages. If you’re running a lot of black, the Kyocera also has a very low cost per print on black...

    Duplo stitch cartridges

    If you're running a DBM120 I believe they work with Swingline cartridges, or maybe that's what you already have. The side of the shell will have the Swingline logo. If you're not already using the Swingline version, you may want to give some a try. I've had some odd issues with my Xerox...

    Best folder to use with digitally printed material

    I have the older version of the Challenge 870 Medalist and it runs very well with 100# coated with full coverage. It has the quickset roller gap calipers too. I do score/crease with Tri-Creasers on a Rollem prior to folding and don’t have any cracking issues if the fold plates are set correctly...

    Envelops with Iridesse?

    Uncoated 177-220 gsm Auto Tray selected and loaded in both trays 6 & 7 with the envelope/card bracket installed in both trays I keep the back hold down off the envelopes and that seems to help with feeding Not all envelopes run the same. I’ve run diagonal seams for a long time and now I have...

    The Test

    Got a 2 also. I'll take that as a sign it's time for me to retire. Although I said that yesterday too when I told myself, if this customer can't add the proper bleed to their file after 3 tries, I'm retiring.

    Saturation Mailing Rates

    This information was exactly what I needed. The last bulk mail clerk was at the post office for 17 years and she just retired. She had me select barcoded mail on Postal Wizard because there’s no selection for simplified addressed mail that would bring up the proper table and I wanted to show...

    Saturation Mailing Rates

    Yes, Thank you! I just found this too 243.6.1.2 Pieces prepared with a simplified address format are exempt from the automation-compatibility and barcode requirements. If I put these two together, my interpretation is that this saturation mailing should be entered at an automation rate and not...

    Saturation Mailing Rates

    There was an exception in the DMM for saturation mail with simplified addresses with no barcode that it could be entered at barcoded rates. I can no longer find that exception and was wondering if anyone knows for sure that this rate option has been removed. Theoretically, this mail should...

    Disappearing ink (of a non-espionage nature)

    Is the document something you could scan and overprint the copy? I know checks and some legal documents have ink that will fade with heat but I haven't encountered any documents that are signed using this ink. I remember reading an article about some inks that erase with heat and appear again...

    Hybrid office and light production printer - is there such a thing?

    The Xerox PrimLink C9070 is a MFP and it can be outfitted with the same type of feeders and finishers as the production level machines. I don't see how this would be any different than what you already have, other than giving you a new machine with a new lease. For a low volume user, the...

    Xerox 2nd BTR

    Wonder what he meant by “it works”? I tried one and it seemed to maybe last a bit longer, certainly not a fix, but like you said, NCR was an issue. The other issue I had with the metal roller was that it would crease envelopes. So “works” means swapping out the 2nd BTR when printing NCR and...

    Xerox 2nd BTR

    That is funny! He's right in an odd way, if you only use Xerox paper the problem will go away, at least in the USA Xerox no longer has any coated paper under their brand. So yes, the problem goes away because you're not using any coated paper. I too notice more toner on that same side and...

    Graphtec F - Mark2 auto feeder

    I find it odd that the feeder costs more than the cutter on these. I have a Summa S one and the feeder is even more expensive than the Graphtec.
