    Ricoh 9210 output tray

    Apologies if it's an unrealistic reply, but get a quote for a stacker. It's just 100x better for production printing.

    Do you pass your discounts on to the client?

    I think that's just savvy business. Contractor did 100% of the work, why should the client get the rebate? Unless the client is gonna go out and buy all the materials himself and do the research to find the right materials and find a deal that gives him a rebate I don't think he's entitled to...

    XMF - Flatten PDF for Digital KM1 inkjet press

    I'd take what your techs say with a grain of salt. They're not operators, they're mechanics. Not to say they're dumb, but they get trained on the mechanical side, but generally know nothing about the operating side. I'd ask a trainer or if they have a color specialist to get in touch with you...

    Pouch laminated menus lifting

    I always just laminate text weight and let the laminate be what makes the piece thick. I always have issues with card stock not creating a good seal, plus it just seems superfluous.

    KM 3080 misregistration front to back skew image

    Our C750 does this too. I think expecting a 30" sheet to not skew on a copy machine is honestly expecting more than the machine is capable of, but maybe I'm a cynic.

    Challenge 305 CRT (1997) trouble

    Yours looks similar to ours. I don't know if it will fix it, but if you pull down the front panel where the CRT is and reseat all the molex connectors you might have some success.

    Customer file submission

    We also had a designer on staff that was let go that would constantly complain that he had to "dumb down" his designs for our equipment. It wasn't our equipment that was the issue, it's that he was a web designer, and didn't understand that his designs weren't possible to produce. It'd be like...

    Customer file submission

    My boss loves this because we bill for the fixes. Prepress hates it because it's a bunch of awful work that never goes away because our boss would rather bill than educate. As for where these people are getting degrees; they aren't. They're self taught and laughably bad at it.

    spectro

    Man, that website looks like it was made by a kid in 1995, but $100 is an awesome deal considering most digital printers come bundled with an i1.

    Fuel Surcharge...

    A $10 charge is certainly not actually covering their costs anyway. Gas here is $6/gallon, and I know my techs are driving 120 miles round trip since we're so far away from the service center.

    Need some advice, newbie owner

    We're a mostly Canon shop so I can help with some of it. The 8000/10000 are the same machine, just speed licenses. The newer line is the 10010 and the 9010. Again, just speed licenses for the models, but there are some upgrades to the 8000/10000 engine. Mostly in-line calibration and some...

    Need to reduce toner usage

    They likely think you're trying to sell the toner. we've had issues in the past trying to get extra toner for big runs. I contacted my sales guy about it and now they let me order 28 bottles at a time :LOL:.

    Personnel

    It's a dying industry. I wouldn't tell a young person to enter this profession. The pay generally sucks for the knowledge and work, and the places that do pay well are awful to work for with cameras on you and terrible management.

    Thin Print Substrates - Konica Minolta

    The spec sheets says 40–300 gsm, so I'd ask for it to be escalated to a specialist.

    Strategies to grow in Post-Pandemic world.

    I'd like to see most of my sales staff get automated. Maybe then they'd write something up correctly.

    Xerox v80/180 color tuning?

    Out of curiosity, is it recycled stock? I always have problems with good coverage on recycled paper, specifically Environment PC 100.

    KM c1060: Can you identify this probem?

    My Imagepress 6010 used to do this. The machine had an adjustment for it, and I'd bet yours does to. On my machine it was called "trail edge white patch correction". I found this thread here with the same issue you have...

    Any Updates - Canon Digital Cut Sheet Presses

    They have the larger lines like the 10010 and the 9010. Canon seems like they're pushing pretty hard into inkjet though. Our sales guy comes by fairly often with new samples from the Varioprint iX series.

    Walk-in self serve printer from phone!

    Having worked at Kinko's, customers will be reluctant to use an app. We could barely get them to even press the start button without someone holding their hand.
