    KM 1075 / 1085 vs. Xerox Versant 80 vs Ricoh C7100

    We'll probably end up doing that too. I had 3 fusers for the Xerox 700i, one for A4S one for A3 and one for SRA3, which all used to get the belt changed every few months. We've run about 5,000 booklets since the press was installed. The belt looked fine to keep running A4S.

    KM 1075 / 1085 vs. Xerox Versant 80 vs Ricoh C7100

    So I called in the Techie and he did the filter changes and he decided to change the Fuser Belt. The 44,800 clic A4 Short Edge Feed left too much fuser belt degradation which would show up on the next job larger than A4S. This took about 1 hour to replace and I am up and running again with a new...

    KM 1075 / 1085 vs. Xerox Versant 80 vs Ricoh C7100

    I started printing the job on Monday night about 7pm and left the C1085 running at about 10.30pm. Reloaded another lot of covers and started the C1085 on Tuesday morning at 6.30am and continually ran it till 4pm. All up print run was 44,800 b/w Clics A4S, plus covers inserted, plus booklet...

    KM 1075 / 1085 vs. Xerox Versant 80 vs Ricoh C7100

    The days of testing are over for me. I've got a 50,000 clic greyscale run to do today and tomorrow which no doubt will have some 40% black in it on most pages. So as for having wavy lines in the 40% area I can't say that I will ever notice it. What I do notice is that when I do the calibration...

As for the C1085 its just maintenance with replacing filters etc, the server has settled down and runs very well the press just prints whatever...

    Best Wide Format printer at 60+ Inches for Fine Art Photography?

    We have a Roland Versacamm and the ink setup is CMYK Lb Lc Lm and white. We use a SIHL paper stock 200gsm but it is used for posters larger than our Epson 9880 can print, or when there are more posters to print the Verscamm prints faster. The old Epson 9880 gives far superior photographic quality.

    KM 1075 / 1085 vs. Xerox Versant 80 vs Ricoh C7100

    The Service Technicians are based in our small city and do Service Calls anywhere along the coast here in Tassie. The Technician usually arrives within the hour, but in the contract I think it states a max time of 4 hours. The C1085 is online back to Service Technicians so they can see what...

    KM 1075 / 1085 vs. Xerox Versant 80 vs Ricoh C7100

    4 months on and we through the Fiery 308 Server failures and lockups. All smooth running now. One job was 10,000 x SRA3 250gsm System Board colour clics today which printed no probs. Small components in the C1085 are coming up occasionally for replacement and the techies come and do the...

    Small Footprint Label Press

    We went to PrintEx 15 in Sydney a few months ago and there were a lot of Label Presses big, medium and small. We looked at the Epson Colorworks C7500 Inkjet Label printer but sourcing the pre die cut labels is a problem plus limited label sizes also. Like I said we interested in a small...

    FujiXerox J75 problems

    We had a Xerox 700i here in Australia and we couldn't fault the Xerox Technicians. They would do their jobs exactly as required. The problem was that our Xerox 700i was "High Maintenance" and this made for a lot of downtime and servicing to keep the 700i operational. No one told us when we...

    Fiery Lock Up

    We had probs with our Fiery 308 mainly with it being upgraded from Vers 5.5 up to Vers 5.7. Very frustratng as the freezes aren't consistent with any particular function. They can occur during print runs, during Impose, or just after startup from powersave. Currently we are back at Vers 5.5 and...

    Photo prints from wide format inkjet workflow

    We use different width media on our older Epson 9880. Today there were some A2 prints that we printed on 610mm width media, we also have 914mm and 1118mm stocks. Cutting knife and ruler are what we use for small runs or we use a Neolt 2 metres trimmer which speeds the process for larger...

    Versant 80 - Fiery - Booklet Printing - Pause

    We had the same problem with our 700i with paused to allow for fuser heat up and cool down. So we fixed this by pre printing the covers and inserting them from the Bypass Tray. We do the same again with our KM Press which does everything about twice as fast because of rated speed.

    Well it's 3 months since the install of the C1085 and only real problem I have is the Fiery 308 Server running 5.7 Command Workstation software which keeps on failing, locking up, freezing etc. At the moment the Command Workstation software has wound back to version 5.5 which is what was...
