    PitStop vs pdfToolbox

    I am just getting back on these forums after a hiatus of a few years, so I'm sure I have missed a discussion about this. In the past +/- 20 years I have only been exposed to Enfocus PitStop.

    Need Some Direction on Digital Label Presses/Finishers

    Butt-load of spot colors in a job

    Years ago, we were running a Mercedes-Benz car book on our new 8-color 40" Sheetfed. One form had the paint options pages. It was 24 plates for each side! A total of 6 passes through the press. What a nail-biter!

    Epson Stylus Pro 7900 all clogged up

    I agree. I had a 9900 that had to have 2 head replacements in 5 years. The x900 series has been discontinued. The SureColor P Series is EPSON's suggested successor.

    Fixing Files

    I've tried that and usually it is two, three, four or more times going back and forth with the customer. Either they don't understand or don't have the abilities and/or talent. A lot of shops also experience what claude72 stated.

    Fixing Files

    Where I worked in the past, if I had taken that approach and the customer complained, my boss would have lit me up for either not fixing it or not catching it. It wouldn't matter if it was the customer's mistake.

    Sgemented Ink Fountains for GTO 52

    Back in the early 2000's we had a Harris M110B (heatset half-web) re-built and the solid ink blade was replaced with segmented ink keys. That was back when Heidelberg owned Harris, though.

    Need a Machine for Small Volume Envelope Printing

    Although I have never owned a Xante Impressia, I have had a demo of one. I was impressed (no pun intended). I believe it is built around a RICOH Aficio SP series printer. I've had two of these printers over the last 10 years. They are absolutely rock solid!
