sorry, I'm unclear. What do you mean "no fix"? is the machine dead? Doesn't service repair the BTR for free as part of the contract?

They stopped supporting my v80 last year, so we got a v280. Getting parts specific to the v80 at the end of last year was a pain in the butt. We still have our v180, so I'm disappointed that I only have three years left.

is it jamming because of static? Maybe fan the paper more than you would normally before putting it in the tray?

man! that is the worst I had a "professional" photographer's client complain to me that the photos were flat and bleh. Then the photographer came to complain to me and said JUST THAT! I asked, "is your monitor calibrated to my press?" He didn't understand. Also, I hate Canva sooooo much...

Howdy neighbor! Thanks for the static advice!

this is where my system fell apart. Going that narrow caused trimmings to get stuck on rollers and cutter causing some cards to cut very poorly and leaving a mess to clean up. the trimmings were too light to overcome the static and fall into the waste bin. I'm in Denver Colorado with low...

well, I tried. I reduced the lead, reduced the gutters and "extended" the sheet size. Nothing works well. Reducing the gutters to 3mm was a headache as the paper slices were too small/light to fully fall into the waste bin, so they collected on the cutter and caused some of the cards to cut...

what you did was really cool! but i don't have a colex, just a duplo

thanks for asking. Nothing new. Not sure how to achieve the 3d paper art using the duplo since that art looks like it would need a 45* crease. Photos showing what i did in OP re:"statue of liberty" idea. It's a throw back to mechandising when I worked in a record store in the 80s. Are you...

i'm guessing you reduced bleed from 1/8" to 1/16"? With 1/8, there's no room to reduce lead?

are you laying down white ink first? i've never printed on aluminum without a white back, so I'm not sure how the color profile will work without the white? I'm guessing you're first cleaning your substrate with 99% alcohol to remove any residue or other build-up? Like offering advice on the...

i know the slitter minimum is 5mm, but I wonder what the cutter minimum is? I haven't looked. Maybe the 616 will allow a 4mm gutter and you can then get the last row to cut properly?

my guess is that the tail of the sheet needs to have a minimum amount of paper to properly hold and cut the last card. Maybe try making the programmed sheet size 5-10mm longer? If it works, it still might cause the last set of cards to skew?

yeah, thanks, that's what i'm doing however, I have more jams going through the fuser than bypassing the fuser using just the inserter, Tray T1. And a jam on a multi-sheet booklet is annoying to clear.

thank you but I'm not following your suggestion? My goal is to run the entire booklet through the inserter/Tray T1 and avoid the fuser. If I add blank sheets before the fuser, then I have tear them out of each booklet?

i had this, no solution, went to 3x7 format. I can do 24up on a 13x19, but the rest of my workflow is 12x18 and I don't want to adjust the guide for the paper width every time.

Most of my booklets, the cover is only full bleed, so I run the cover through the inserter tray which bypasses the fuser. On occassion, I have projects that are full bleed guts. So, I'll print the entire booklet bleed, then trim down on my Duplo, then run the entire booklet through my inserter...

Most jobs I print do not have variable data and only some of them are very complex. I've never "needed" an expensive, high-end RIP. For those extra difficult jobs, i just schedule them to print over-night. I'll start the job 30-60 minutes before i leave just to make sure it's all good, load up...

i don't think imposition has color settings, so I'm guessing you're using hot folders which has a setting that is wonky? How about this, select two jobs, one that you know works and one that doesn't to compare settings. If they have different settings, the setting will be blank. That might be...

in acrobat, are you viewing with "Output Preview" on? That is part of my preflight as it can help highlight issues. Sometimes I'll toggle it on-off quickly to help find issues
