    V180 EX-I - V280P Upgrade thoughts

    Back when we first got into digital printing, we started with a bustled fiery and then upgraded to the stand alone version with the same machine. It was a Xerox 560 if memory serves. I am pretty certain they could do it, but don't want to do it.

    Pricing Question

    I would say it is to cover spoilage, storing the paper and moving it around, but also because that is what my father and grandfather did and I just kept doing it.

    Pricing Question

    We would charge $171.26. We would charge $68 for the paper, which is a 50% markup. $71 for the digital press, which is a color machine, we don't have any B&W machines. If it was a higher quantity, we would run it offset. We pay .0085 cents per 11x17 B&W click, but charge based on hourly cost of...

    Wonder if that will have any noticeable affect on supplies here in the USA.

    Scratch-off printing.

    The client was very happy but it ended up turning into a much larger job that is done twice a month. We ended up buying a KR tabber and using it to apply scratch off stickers. Very quick without drying time and no need for expert ink formulating.

    Cannot get uncoated side of C1S to run through our Ricoh to save my life

    We run 18 and 24pt C1S. The 24pt is finicky and only run occasionally, but we run the 18pt regularly without any issues even when DUPLEXING. Just make sure it is short grain.

    Color bulk mailer Printer Advice

    We have contemplated buying an inkjet envelope printer, but so many envelopes we run are spot colors that are hard to match in process. We have a two color offset press that is always setup for #9 and #10 envelopes. Anything full color we order out if running digitally doesn't make sense. We...

    Xerox Iridesse Info Needed

    Interesting to hear your experience. Our 2100 was plagued by banding in black screens it's entire life and needed developer service twice a month it's entire life. It was fast, but needed lots of maintenance. Ricoh C72xx machines look much better quality wise and when it comes to printing...

    Epson 7800 Printing Issues, Please Help!

    Lines are most likely clogged. If you want to work on it yourself, you could try flushing out the lines with a syringe and windex. I had a 9600 like this and after flushing it out and replacing some parts it ran great for many years.

    Paper Shortage

    Too bad we don't live in a country with lots of wooded areas with trees. Then we could make paper domestically.

    FusionPro vs Freeform Create...

    I have spent years using FusionPro, so part of me hates to change, but I have heard so many good things about Jet Letter that I figured I should give it a look.

    That is what I did. It appears the 9200, 7200 and 7200x toners all work just fine.

    Ricoh Supplies Issues...

    The past few weeks we have been having some rather odd issues with our Ricoh metered supplies. We always get them quickly, but have been getting the wrong toners lately. We have a 7200S and a 7210X. When we order toner for the machines, they only send us toner for the 7210x. Then our last order...

    PSL Jetletter and .pdf workflow

    We are going to check out Jet Letter. It was time to upgrade FusionPro and it is now a subscription service of $1,500/Mo. for what we have. I asked if they offered any discounts or incentives for current Ricoh customers or FusionPro customers and the answer was NO. They said they had previously...

    Ricoh 7200 Envelope Jig Feeder Kit

    We run tons of envelopes through the top bypass tray. It runs great, except that it very slightly refolds the flap when you print it. Not a job killer, but annoying to the trained eye.
