I've had this happen once with our Canon printer. Flattening the file in photoshop fixed the problem, not the ideal solution (and won't work for some files that need better resolutions) but something about the layers and how the printer was putting them down was making the ghost appear. Might...

This also. We have our transfer adjustment settings set to the max when we print on this paper. We had to do the same when we were running the MGX on the Xerox printers. Not sure about Ricoh but I would guess it's the same. Even then there are some shades that are almost impossible to get to do...

We run MGX paper and the Static/dust issue that Kdw75 mention is a big factor. MGX puts a coating on their paper that makes it receptive to the digital toner and if that coating gets scuffed or damaged before it gets printed on that spot won't accept the toner. Same with any specs of dust, the...

My guess is that you have more "tolerance" in the registration of smaller stocks since there's more wiggle room inside the print engine to move the image to another spot. 13x19 is the max size so there's essentially no wiggle room to adjust move the image to align with the stock if the stock is...

Any idea where I would find out whether or not it's set to do that? I'm running Fiery's and Canon printers. I can't find a setting anywhere that indicates it would do that but there's a lot of settings in there.

This has bugged me for a while and I'm wondering if I'm just overlooking something obvious. When we have larger/longer documents is there a way to find out before we print it how many pages the printer is going to "detect" as black and white vs. color pages. This seems like such an obvious thing...

There's a whole series of videos circulating through the TikTok/Facebook/Instagram world basically teaching the younger generation that they shouldn't work hard at their jobs and they should do the "bare minimum" and that they won't get fired because they're "too valuable" to the company. I'm...

This fixed the wringle on the flap for us on the V2100. Needs to be cardstock. Or like someone else suggested, Teflon tape apparently works also.

Printware is terrible. Half of the controls on the interface are not designed to work with the iJet which makes operating the software very confusing and complicated since it's tricky to figure out which settings actually do anything. The integration is terrible. I also agree the maintenance is...

To avoid this issue we create a folder inside the job folder called 'archive' because we never throw anything away. The only job in the parent job folder is the one we actually used to print. The rest (intermediate files) go into the archive folder so we don't accidentally pull the wrong file in...

Our shop does this: Parent Folder - Last Name, First Name [ex: Smith, John] Order Folder - (saved inside Parent Folder) - Order Number, Date [ex: 12342-2022-1129] Inside Order Folder - Order Number, Job Number, Last Name, File Name [ex: 12342-01-SMITH-Apollo.pdf, 12342-02-SMITH-Venus.pdf] Our...

This can happen when a drum gets too low although it's been quite a while since I've had a drum get low enough to cause this issue. Lately they wear out long before they start doing this.

Fuzzy is what happens when you tell someone their image is pixelated and they go in and try to create more pixels by using photoshop or something else to change the resolution without actually going back to the source of the file and getting a higher resolution file. Yes, it's no longer...

If that was an option I would but the timeline is too tight. I wasn’t really seriously asking I was more finding the whole concept trying to explain “levels of fuzziness” humerus.

Is there a scale somewhere that people use to send to their customers to explain how "fuzzy" something is. Like... how do I objectively explain how fuzzy something is going to print to a customer who does not have the ability to come in and look at a print in-person. Mobile devices do not do a...

Same here, we used to do it all in indesign with the templates and then we switched to fiery impose and it works for us. We still use indesign to make sure all the files are 1-up ready for fiery impose but it's a lot faster to impose on the fly. We can decide per-job whether we plan to handcut...

InDesign gives these options in the "default" color swatches window. There's clearly two options for black, one produces a nice rich black and the other produces a flat black. Expecting anyone beyond "sophisticated" users to know they need to custom mix a black color for offset printing use is...

LOL - I was just pointing out that in InDesign those are the two "default" black options. Maybe the offset printers should make a coalition and talk to Adobe about not making those the two "black options"

There's two blacks in cmyk that you can choose in InDesign for example: 0% 0% 0% 100% and registration black - 100% 100% 100% 100% - 95% of customers want registration black and not black. They want it to be that rich black. Everything else is personal preference. You have to also remember...

Didn't you know that it's bad for the environment to make batteries?
