Yes, same here. I’ve asked about this and got no answer. For the most part 90% of the roller looks like it’s brand new but once the end of the roller starts to mark the sheets it’s almost useless. I keep them around and will put them back in when running envelopes to get some more life out of...

You should be able to find some with a Google search for horizontal sheet rack, they are about $1,100 and they will keep your substrate nice and flat. The shelf idea from Magnus59 is a good idea too, easy and quick to setup. If you're looking for something less expensive and you have the time...

Of course it’s the printer’s fault, somehow it always is and it’s easy to blame the last guy in line. For decades I had printers errors & omission insurance and never used it. With skyrocketing insurance rates, I finally had to drop the coverage this past year. I take extra care when it comes...

You can download CWS from Fiery, no need for a tech. You just need to register with Fiery now to access the latest versions. Put the Fiery software monitor on the pc and you'll get notified when they update to a newer version. It seems like they're constantly updating or fixing with newer versions.

The Rollem air feed with the register tape table would help in reducing the double feeds but it still requires some adjustments. The feed works pretty much the same as a bottom feed folder with air feed. The friction feed will work well but the blue feed sleeves wear out quickly. I’ve given up...

The 8½x11 insert changes what you would need. If you didn’t do the insert, you could actually get just the right angle folder section and place it at your output of the press. It would take your folded 11x17 and fold it in half again down to 5½x8½. Don’t know much about the capabilities of your...

The extra bracket that comes with the 607K should have a stamp on the corner that says "20". That's the bracket (inlet chute) that should be on the BTR to use with your 3100. If you look at the same bracket that came with the 859K, it will be stamped with the "20". Keep the 607K and replace the...

Yes, you can rebuild the fuser after the belt position error. If you’re replacing the heat belt you should also replace the slip sheet and wick at the same time and make sure to soak the wick in the heat belt oil. The wick shouldn't be dripping in oil and it shouldn't cause a puddle. I wouldn't...

I would go with A4, with bleeds on all 4 sides but how you ask for the pages may depend on what you are or aren’t using for imposition. I prefer to use imposition software to impose booklets and ask customers to not send printer’s spreads. If you ask for printer’s spreads, you’re putting all...

The difference between Adobe and Canva is, Adobe provides tools that allow users to create designs. Canva provides tools to create designs, and they want the print business revenue too. I would categorize Canva’s vision more like a Vista Print on steroids. It would be interesting to know more...

Power supply fluctuations can cause a whole lot of grief. I'd at least plug the Fiery into a UPS device and make sure you have a backup handy like Shawnd suggested. I don't have any unusual power fluctuations but my Fiery is still plugged into a UPS, they're cheap and a lot better than just a...

What happens if you run a multi page document from the document scanner instead of going through the Fiery? It seems odd that replacing a fan in the rip would require a reinstall, this should have been a power down, install fan and boot backup. Something seems to have gone wrong. My thought to...

I say the same, no upfront pricing, not interested! They have a system that will save a print shop time by allowing customers to place orders online. Somehow, they can’t do the same for their own customers even though their software pricing is less complicated than what a print shop would require.

If you’re looking to bring in a used or reconditioned machine I see why you may consider a Versant 180. It would be baffling if Xerox were trying to place a new Versant 180 unless you’re looking at the Fuji Xerox branded 180i. The 180i is the same as the current Xerox Versant 280. If you’re...

Instead of printing the job to the Fiery, try importing the job in Command Workstation. At least you’ll know if it’s a Fiery to engine issue or driver to Fiery issue. Curious how the job looks in preview, are pages rotated in preview?

The stitcher head can be rebuild or you can send it out to be rebuilt if you’ve never take one apart. You could take the stitcher out and try some light oil on the slide and move it back and forth before reinstalling. You could also try running the head without the wire while it’s in the Duplo...

I would check with your laminate supplier. Don't know if you can get the equivalent but Skandacor has what they call 1.6mil polypro photo gloss ultragrip, and it produces a very high gloss. Not sure how to explain the gloss level but the gloss level is higher than a UV gloss.

If all three are giving you similar pricing for the same equipment, then you’ll need to spend a good amount of time in front of each of them testing everything you use. Salespeople always stretch the truth. I have a Versant 280 and both like it and dislike it. The biggest problem with the...

I had some creasing on my 280 that was caused by a bad pressure roller (the roller under the fuser unit). It would happen on lighter weight text stock only. I had an issue with alignment on some 12pt cover stock. After I was ready to push the Versant out the door, I discovered it wasn’t the...

What kind of envelopes are you talking about and what quantities, tens of thousands or an assortment of smaller quantities? This site could be a good place to sell them. I would suggest listening what you want to get rid of and at what price. I can’t speak for all distributors, but I know...
