    Is Antivirus Software Still Needed?

    In my opinion, no. Windows Defender works fine, plus Windows is more "stupid proof" when it comes to accidentally installing malicious software. On top of that, if something is malicious enough to get past both of those Norton isn't going to catch it either.

    Understanding Color Calibration Process - I feel stupid - what am I missing?

    I know the PRISMASync controllers have G7 profiling built in. I'm sure the Fiery does as well. I also know if you want to go hardcore into it you can print media wedges and scan them to verify, but we've never taken it that far. We were told to do auto gradation daily, shading correction...

    Canon V1000 - Anyone have one? How is it going?

    Ugh, I wish you luck, but our ImagePress 10000 also has that stupid top/bottom density issue, and it's never been fully resolved. In my opinion, Canon is going too hard on inkjet, and their toner machines are taking a backseat to it. We're in the SF Bay Area, and a lot of the techs aren't even...

    Versant 280 Registration

    That's what Canon does on their equipment. I'm not sure why it's not common in other vendors.

    Ricoh Tech Conversation Today...

    Techs typically have no idea what they're talking about outside of the physical machine. He's probably going by something he heard in 2002 and thinks it's still relevant. That's not a knock on techs, it's just not part of their training.

    Microsoft Print to PDF driver and difficult documents

    We have an insurance client that sends a lot of junk like this as well. I always just save it as a postscript file and then use distiller with "press quality" to fix it.

    Can you print from a Windows PC? hopefully you can find a more elegant solution in the future, but that should work for now.

    How to limit the mottling effect with offset printing on kraft paper

    Are you positive supplier B is being honest about offset printing? Both of those look like they were digitally printed.

    Digital Recycled / Speciality Stocks

    Indigo is different enough where I don't really trust that it will work on all laser equipment. Recycled paper tends to not take toner as well, so I usually have to make voltage adjustments or the image will look starved or have a lot of mottling. Sometimes nothing improves it, so be sure to get...

    Migrating from Xerox Freeflow to Ricoh Fiery...need advice and tips

    We just got a new machine with a Fiery after not using it for 12 or so years and I forgot how clunky Fiery is. I'd suggest setting up the "quick access" tab with your most common settings. Also, make HotFolders to simplify your workflow as much as possible.

    The V80 says it has an 80,000 duty cycle vs the 3080 at 864,000. KM 3080 / V80

    Fuji Xerox v3100i verse Km C4070

    You went from an entry level press to a production press. That's a completely unfair comparison. I'm not defending Xerox, but of course the machine rated for 10x the volume is going to perform better...

    Best Synthetic Paper for Ricoh Pro C7200S?

    I don't have a Ricoh, but we run Nekoosa Synaps on our Canon and it always prints extremely well. The only issues I have with it are static, but otherwise I've never needed even needed to make stock adjustments.

    KM 14000 sheet size

    The spec sheets says you can only do that size simplex. You're not trying to duplex, are you?

    Printing variable data envelopes

    I think he's just collecting it elsewhere. For example, our shop charges type time and database time for the setup, but we wouldn't charge more for the printing since it's an identical workflow to a static run.

    One-third of U.S. newspapers as of 2005 will be gone by 2024

    Hand fed booklet makers

    To add to Ynot, I've never met a tech that liked in-line accessories. Unless it's made by the printer manufacturer, your tech will likely have next to no experience on the in-line parts if they need service. Also, if your bookletmaker is broken so is your printer, even if the printer is fine...
