    Spot colour problems

    Hey Simon, I haven't used a Fiery in a while as we've moved to GX on both 2100 and Iridesse but from memory rather than making a generic across the board adjustment is makes it against the specific calibration and maybe stock that you select when running the adjustments. If you set that to the...

    Unknown Part

    Hahahaha fanatny rod. The wife and I rewatched all the episodes the other week and had a good chuckle at this.

    Postcards - What is your Workflow??

    Basically the same however we merge with XMPie and use the RIP to impose via a hot folder.

    Image Quality Thoughts....

    The GX is a Fuji Xerox development so probably didn't make it to America. I believe the Fiery on the 3100 had the edge density feature. The Iridesse is great but it definitely comes at a cost. For us worth it as we are generally producing higher margin work but we've definitely had to bend...

    Image Quality Thoughts....

    This is the trail edge bleed or edge deletion which I believe is due to the speed these presses are running at now. For us it was a deal breaker. Our customers noticed it and when competing against companies with Indigos we needed our quality to be top notch. When we upgraded from an 800 with...

    Any info - Intec ColorCut flatbed Diecutter - Small, Cost Effective Die Cutter

    They look interesting too. Do you have pricing on either of them? I found this one on AliExpress that looks like the Intec and has the same barcode format...

    What is the "right' Envelope color printer for a 300-600k a month volume.

    I found this feeder and output for the Versant on YouTube the other week. Asked about it in NZ but they won't be bringing it in unfortunately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq4dJFxHG2Y

    Where do you get your industry information?

    In New Zealand we have the New Zealand Printer and Inky Fingers trade magazines. Print Planet is a great source for research and real world usage information. I haven't used any other forums. For me however YouTube seems be to be go to. There is generally one or two videos for most equipment...

    OSX vs Windows 10 for Pre-Press...

    Yep. I run a i7 "Hackintosh" as my main workstation which dual boots Win10 Pro and have a 2012 Macbook Pro at home. I do prefer MacOS to Windows. I'd had the same thoughts re Windows vs Mac in a production enviroment. Our prepress operator has an expensive 27" iMac that's now a few years old. If...

    Automating imposition of multiple jobs

    If the address block is changing positions I'd setup the different clients as layers and use visibility rules to choose their artwork and have the address block also on that layer. It's kind of risky in case someone forgets to merge each block correctly. Another option is if you can identify...

    Automating imposition of multiple jobs

    Not a hot folder solution but why don't you add the postcard art (A123.PDF) as a variable field in the data when you combine all the lists. Then set that up in XMPie as an image variable pulling in from Assets folder? You'll probably have to seperate out front and back but that's what I'd do...

    New Press Install - Fuji Xerox Iridesse

    That's what drove us to the Iridesse. I see it as a hybrid between the two machines. V3100 registration let us down all the time and 1000i quality wasn't as good so clients wouldn't go back to 1000i if 3100 was down. Interesting you mention the timmer. We asked how they sharpen the knifes as...

    Nice! Do you have big plans for gold and silver? 2 passes with silver creates some awesome effects.

    New Press Install - Fuji Xerox Iridesse

    It does. Which from a paper path and fusing point of view is awesome. Image quality is really good. Like Versants but better I think.

    Bell & Howell Inserter with Muller Accumulator Folder Problems

    Update on this. We got the 023 error sorted by removing the encoder and giving it a good clean. We're now trying to find the LED's that drive the double detect sensor and feeder paper height senors hoping that'll help. Still no lick on diverter. Would anyone have any ideas on potential service...

    Bell & Howell Inserter with Muller Accumulator Folder Problems

    Hi all, Last year we purchased a used Bell & Howell B900 Inserter with a Muller Cut Sheet Accumulator Folder. The inserter itself is pretty good aside from an issue with the diverter bin but we've been having some issues with the folder. Does anyone have a contact ideally in Australia or New...

    Customer address list cleanup

    Great topic Keith. Something that we've struggled with for a while. We do quite a lot to the data to make it ready for mailing. In New Zealand we have a process called Statement of Accuracy where the data is validated against the master list of addresses in the country. I assume this is the...
