    Faster way of comb binding (or an alternative?)

    Have you heard any feedback about Vpaper? I'm curious about the longevity of the "hinge" area. It seems like such a new product that such data may not exist though.

    Versant 180 - Way to know or specify which black toner being used?

    On the Versant 180, is there a way to either specify which K toner cartridge the press should use? Or minimally to know which one is being used / is active? The bigger question is what scheme/logic does the Versant 180 use to determine whether to use K1 or K2. Keep in mind that my volume is...

    Recommended specialyy stocks for printing photos on the Xerox Versant 180?

    I posted my original question since I'm trying to help a friend get started with a new business where she's contracted to take photos of real estate and/or buildings for engineering companies or maybe architectural companies - I still don't have all the current info. The thinking is that I can...

    You don't come across like you hate Xerox machines. What you're saying makes sense.

    Recommended specialyy stocks for printing photos on the Xerox Versant 180?

    Hi. Just wondering if anybody can recommend specialty papers for printing photos on the Versant 180. I'm not sure yet if they will need to be printed on a gloss or matte yet. When I say "specialty", I'm thinking something more exclusively geared towards photos, as opposed a standard...

    Why does solid yellow have dots in it?

    I tried doing Bypass Conversion in the print settings and it works. That's awesome, thank you. I'll look at the other variations you mentioned soon, but i imagine the output will be the same. But I'm often wrong. At least I know how to control this, solid colors are actually solid. Thanks...

    Why does solid yellow have dots in it?

    I had also tried packaging from InDesign and then printing the resulting PDF to my Versant, and I had the same dot pattern results. I wasn't sure what settings to specify in the PDF creation to address this. But I'll take another look. Maybe I need to choose a different PDF preset, or maybe...

    Why does solid yellow have dots in it?

    My goal is to be able to print solid process color backgrounds on my Versant 180. So when I have a background that is y=100. all else=0, then I'd like to not see any other colors or dot pattern. Under a magnifier, all I'd like to see is yellow and maybe whatever pits and valleys the paper may...

    Versant 180 rollers leave impressions on 13x26 paper

    This sounds like a good idea if even just to learn about the press. One thing I'll mention is that this isn't a case where one roller is causing an issue. It affects the sheet as a whole. I remember well from having offset printing done, where there was one bad roller that had to be replaced.

    Versant 180 rollers leave impressions on 13x26 paper

    Definitely. I'm waiting for some 13x19 cover stocks to arrive so I can try that.

    Versant 180 rollers leave impressions on 13x26 paper

    Happy New Year to everybody. I’ve noticed on my new Versant 180 that when using 13x26 inch 80# cover stock, the press leaves marks/indentations along the 26 inch length, 2 inches apart or so. These are not artifacts from printing but physical indentations on the cover stock. They are not so...

    Xerox Versant 180 - Minimum XLS Sheet Size?

    The Versant 180 offers their XLS (Extra Long Sheet) capability and clearly states that it allows a sheet size up to 13x26 inches. Cool. But I can't find where it states a minimum XLS sheet. For example, can I feed a 9x26 inch sheet instead. I can see on Youtube that the XLS metal tray that...

    Recommended Monthly Volume for Versant 180

    That's good to know. From all my research I feel it's a solid choice in its price range. What bugged me about the dealer who turned me down for low volume was the dishonesty. Just tell me it's cuz of the clicks not the potential service issues. Pet peeve of mine. I'm very close to making...

    Recommended Monthly Volume for Versant 180

    I can't attest to how good the techs are yet but the service guarantee says someone will be sent out within 4 hours. Sounds reasonable to me.

    Recommended Monthly Volume for Versant 180

    I think it's safe to say from the replies to my post that low volume is not a death sentence for a Versant.
