    Basic Imposition Software

    Yeah, another vote for Quite Imposing. It's a little basic but very powerful. We do have an impose license on our Fiery, so I've used both but prefer Quite Impo.

    FusionPro vs Freeform Create...

    I can't see anyone who thinks FP is slow going to Freeform Create. The interface is garbage and is nowhere near as powerful and flexible as FusionPro. I'm with prepressdork, I'm running FP 12.1.0 on a 2013 iMac with a non-SSD drive and 24GB of Ram. I don't really have any issues processing files.

    Ricoh Pro C9100 - J002

    Not sure if you're still needing help, but J002 is a feed sensor error for Tray 1. Could just be dirty sensors in either the tray, or the paper path just passed the tray. (Areas A1 & A2)

    Ijetcolor NXT Supplies

    I get our ink and supplies from Mailpost Systems. Like most have said, they're all selling the same ink but MPS seemed to have it a little cheaper than Printware.

    Ink Jet Envelope Printer

    It is, but it's not as easy and intuitive as Printware's version.

    Ink Jet Envelope Printer

    I don't disagree with you about Printware. In fact, I buy my supplies from other vendors because they mark everything up. What I meant by software was their RIP/Printserver software. It is much easier to send and control jobs compared to our RENA Mach5 which didn't really have anything like that.

    Starting a shop for political printing

    I second what @davarino said. Maybe start out as a broker of sorts and use trade vendors to get started. You could even get a printer but outsource the cutting/folding/tabbing. We are a printshop/mailhouse and do a lot of political mailings. What I'd stress for a printer is to find something...

    Quick help needed! Ricoh7200 or KM C4080 thru Dex?

    I haven't used a KM color since we ditched our C8000 4 years ago. But if they haven't changed how their sheets register, I'd stay away. The 7200 (and 9200 for that matter) have a great sheet registration system. I'd stick with the Ricoh, especially if you're happy with your current service. As...

    Ink Jet Envelope Printer

    Not sure how the NXT compares to other similar printers, but our Rena Mach 5 never had the nozzle clog issues that this thing has. Not sure if it just doesn't wipe it as often or what but it definitely isn't as good.

    Ink Jet Envelope Printer

    I totally agree with this. Also, even though it's supposed to run auto wiping cycles, if it sits too long, the nozzles tend to dry out and you have to wipe it down pretty heavily to get a good image out. And sometimes "too long" could be a few hours. One more thing, some stocks, like Classic...

    Ink Jet Envelope Printer

    We have had a Rena Mach5 since 2013 or 2014 and have had great results with it. Last year we added an iJetColor NXT (equivalent to Rena Mach 6). There are some things that I don't love about it but quality wise it's pretty great. The only thing with any of the printers that use Memjet heads is...

    Ink smearing issues with iJet NXT.

    The main reason we went with the iJet over Mach 6 was the software. We had the MColor RIP that we got with the Mach5 but it was difficult to use and we only used it when matching spot colors. When printing directly we would sometimes have color issues but the main issue was when we needed to...

    Ink smearing issues with iJet NXT.

    Thank you for your reply but I'm not sure you can help. But to answer your question, the smearing does seem to come from the wheels that are right after the printhead.

    Ink smearing issues with iJet NXT.

    We recently purchased an iJet NXT after having a Mach 5 for the past 5 or 6 years. Recently we've been running into issues where the ink smears on certain stocks that the Mach 5 didn't necessarily have an issue with. It's only an issue when it's inside the machine because once it's on the...

    Difference Ricoh 7200S, SL and SX

    We have a 7210SX and love it. We also have two 9110's. The auto registration on the current generation of machines (7200,9200) is amazing. We could never get our 9110's to be as spot on as we can on the 7210. 5th color is nice but unless you have a great use for it, it may not be worth it.

    Graphtec F-Mark Sheet Fed Cutter

    We've had one for over a year and it's best use is for kiss cuts but it can do die-cuts okay. I don't think you'd be able to replace your tab cutter unless you run them on 13x19 sheets. The one thing that we didn't know going in was how much margin it actually needs. Essentially you lose about...
