You have to massage the text file a bit, before importing into InDesign. I use BBEdit for that. Save the file in UTF-8, UTF-16 and try importing these versions.

We had a Mohr 80 NET cutter, which had a premium 6000 USD on the price badge over the 'basic' model. It came with a Windows software, which had some very advanced functions to optimize the cutting workflow and drive the cutter. It wasn't 'JDF capable' as far as I know, though.

If this is a new phenomenon, the please be patient. We've got an official letter from Konica one month ago, that due to the 'coronavirus pandemic', they had to close down a factory in France, where most of the toner is manufactured. I think the supply chain will get back to normal, as the the...

You can mount the Fiery's share on your Mac (it appears on your desktop as a server). On that shared volume you can find everything to get connected. Basically you have to install the Fiery Mac client, which is a Java applet - make sure you use a decent Mac, otherwise it can be sluggish.

Small format inkjet machine and A/2 (?) envelopes. There must be a mistake in the question.

Hello Gianni, the only way to get the size of the TrimBox in pdfToolbox (currently) is to run a Check, then look up the needed info in the report. This is a frustrating way to work, but that's what you have.

They're already listed at Machineseeker etc. Complete printing houses' equipment on sale. Sad to see that 2 months can kill 25 years of diligent work. Here in Hungary the situation is mixed. You can move freely (if you have a "good enough" reason, meaning you go after your business), yet people...

It can be a timing problem in the driver electronics. The fix might be a replacement board, an the price is in the same ballpark as the head... :(

You have experienced a strong seasonal flu, which later provided the base for the worldwide scam known as COVID-19.

The 2100 is an improved model with a high-res color touch screen. I guess the main advantage over the 2000 is the automatic measurement of the book block thickness.

Yes, our 'King' for now. I would respect him much more, if he would have said a plain 'no' to the current hysteria, based on a rebranded flu strain. Of course that wasn't a possible choice for him.

For God's sake, what can Average Joe/Jill do about energy sources? Just please, don't come up with the tired 'vote for the good' mantra, as all the so called democracies are just facades, where paid actors (the politicians) provide theathrical performances to befuddle the people, with the great...

People changed their lifestyle because they were ordered to do so. It wasn't their choice. They are threatened by the government (like in France and Belgium, where they have to pay a hefty penalty if one dares to go out), they're suffocated by the massive layoffs. Gordo, did you read the news...

It's a shame that such biased "article" can be published. After bashing Konica because of its use of 'proprietary' imager in its machines, I'm really missing the info about Ricoh's imager. Is that available in the grocery shop at the corner, for pennies?

We had a KM C1085 for five years (sold it 3 months ago), which printed onto 350gsm without any problems. I remember long print runs taking 3-4 hours, where the only stop were paper feeding and automatic calibration. No jams, no misfeeds (using a high capacity vacuum feeder).

We had a Konica 1250P (sold it just today). Apart from regular cleaning there wasn't any issues with it over 5 years of time. All the problems we've encountered was eventually caused by paper dust. A real workhorse.

People and companies don't really like to change, only if the house is starting to crash on them. Everywhere I see the same basic workflow, like this: CSRs acquire the data from the customer, Prepress staff preflights and evaluates the data (manually: in Acrobat, sometimes using Pitstop), CSRs...

Many companies doing that here. If quality is not that important or the company has a backup machine, it's a viable solution. I've seen a company where they gradually built up the knowledge to service their (ancient Xerox) machines, by watching the servicemen's work. They buy toners and parts...

IMHO the absurdity is in the pricing scheme of the manufacturers. I've got wildly different prices from the same manufacturer for the (almost) same configuration. The only variable was the time of the year. When they're under pressure from the mothership (eg. before closing of the 'books') at...
