Thanks for this. If I was buying for our main press, I'd definitely get a service contract, and I doubt Xerox would even be an option at this point as I'm so frustrated with how long it's taken our dealer to get the Versant 80 back up and running (almost 2 weeks without a press). That said, I...

On my quest for a 'backup' printer, I had been looking at the Xerox C60's but I've come across a J75 with 1.6m on it, external fiery, a single high cap feeder and a pro booklet finisher at the same price a C60 would cost for the engine alone. Just wondering if it's likely to be a better buy than...

We had some issues(not the same issue though) with our integrated fiery on our Xerox Versant 80 and the engineer said you need a crossover cat5/6 cable between the fiery and the printer, then a standard patch cable between the printer and your network switch/router. This seemed to fix our issues...

To be honest, I don’t know if I’d use the finishing equipment on a spare machine. We don’t use it a whole lot on the Versant in all honesty (just a handful of large booklet orders now and again). My main concern with having no finisher is having nowhere for the output to stack.

Looking for another press to keep as a backup as we are getting busier and when our Versant 80 goes down for a week and a half, it puts us in a real bind. Looking at our options (a bit cash strapped at present) and we can get a Xerox C60 or a Ricoh C5200s within our budget. Both machines...

Personally I don’t think I’d recommend a toner based printer for photography prints, especially on photo paper as the toner just sits on top of the paper so will always look more Matt than the paper itself, but I have no experience with the Apeos Pro printers. If you have the space for multiple...

We've had this a couple of times on our Versant 80. The engineer ended up changing the belt on the fuser which resolved the issue.

Thanks so much both of you, I’ve managed to do this now and will definitely be printing the steps to do this in the future :)

Thanks, I definitely have a lot to learn and will definitely do the density uniformity. The charge roller sounds like a possible - on the Konica I had, this sort of issue would usually be the charge coroner which the fully was user replaceable and we had spares on hand so will look into the...

How the heck do you run a Versant in a living room? I’ve never seen a house in the U.K. with a 32amp commando socket haha. @JazzaBee - forget the idea of selling mass flyers/leaflets from your Versant 180. The money just isn’t there. Even at 0.035 per click, once you hit 1,000 leaflets for one...

If you look at the first cyan image for example, (the horizontal one), you can see two darker blue lines roughly in the centre running left to right. You can also see it in the magenta. The yellow is too bright to see anything. I’ve no idea if I have a flywheel to be honest but the engineers...

Thanks for that. The dealer has asked me to try cleaning the developer housing so will try that again first thing in the morning. I’ve ran plenty of sheets of sticker paper through the press today and not noticed the banding on them but they don’t tend to be solid blocks of colour. Might try...

Our dealer has said it’s not likely to be the 2nd btr as it’d have black marks on it? There’s a lot more areas on the roller than what you can see on a printed sheet so it’s hard to tell but yeh looks to line up. Typical that I want to print a big run of greeting cards and now I can’t haha...

As I’m quite new to using Xerox machines, I am still learning and trying to identify issues myself so that when I need to arrange service, I can tell them what the issue is so they can come equipped with the part (our service tech is a third party tech so our dealer supplies the parts rather...

To be honest, we have the nvm adjusted to slow our Versant 80 down on the uncoated card stock we use as we were getting banding without it but yeh I get what you mean. If we do end up with a 3100/4100 for card stocks we might still trade our Versant in for a prime link or c70 (refurb) for...

We have a Versant 80 and. get 2nd BTR issues as a lot of other people do. The only thing I can say is that at least you can change the 2nd BTR yourself, whereas when we had banding on our KM it would usually require an engineer callout if changing the coroners didn't fix it (though the engineers...

Printing a lot on SRA4 (225x320mm) sticker paper at the moment and the Versant 80 doesn't auto detect the correct size as it doesn't have SRA4 as a set size. So, I'm having to set a custom paper size each time I put SRA4 paper in the printer. There's a button as shown below for 'Preset Custom...

Both are running off the same Rasterlink pc. I wish I could experience the mimakis being ‘very capable’.

Just a bit of a rant really. I have two CJV150's which I bought used for printing stickers. I cannot for the life of me get a solid colour without some form of 'diffusion'. So, my question is are Mimaki Eco Solvent printers just terrible quality in general (at least the CJV150's) or is it likely...

It was sold a couple of months back so I would assume they’ve sold it on already. I will get the dealers details and pm you though. Honestly, I loved the Konica. A few things drove me nuts like banding every now and again but there are far more videos on YouTube to guide you through...
