Actually one Xerox dealer has been awesome in working with me. I had wanted to two talk to two dealers, the second being the one who wouldn't sell me a V180. I have been outsourcing my work for years. It's time to have my own equipment. My content takes a lot of experimentation to print -...

I see your points and you could be right on the nose, but I don't equate dishonesty with being nice - not in my personal life and not in business. I'm a fellow member of the business community looking for equipment. I have the income and credit to justify it. If there is a minimum click...

I understand your point but if that's the case then the dealer shouldn't claim it's because of potential service issues that the sale would be refused. That's cheesy. It's also short-sighted. I'm here in little ol' Albuquerque where I don't think they sell too many Versants. Besides, this 2K...

I'm ordering some Mohawk samples, sounds promising, thanks.

Right, they are definitely not going to retire off my click charges for the first 3-6 months. Here in Albuquerque, there aren't a ton of Xerox dealers but at least there's more than one to choose from.

When my conversation with the dealer happened, I did push back and ask for some assurance this wasn't just about the click charges. He insisted it was only due to the potential service nightmare he would have with an underused press. He recommended instead a Xerox C70 which - according to him -...

Hi. I'm currently working towards finding the right press for me (this has been on and off for a while). I've seen the Versant 80 and newer 180 do what I need but during a conversation with one local dealer, I was told they wouldn't even sell me one because of my tentative monthly volume. He...

Hi. So far Googling hasn't helped much so I wanted to see if anybody has used and/or knows of non-white papers that are supported by the Versant 180. These can be gloss papers, such as a tan or maybe ivory. Or even cooler would be a paper that's textured like a parchment. Thanks

At first glance the Ideal 4705 manual cutter New is more expensive than the hydraulic Challenge 20 used. Interesting. These are good options for me to look further into, thanks. Ideally I can fit the long side of a 13x19 inch sheet in there. I forgot to mention that in my original post. I...

Thanks in advance for your input. I'm looking for a paper cutter that can comfortable cut 50-100 (more or less) 100# text weight or up to 100# cover stock. This may occur several times a day, or on some days not at all. The cuts are just straight lines, no need to follow any sort of pattern...

What's an OKI? Okidata? Do you have a specific model in mind? thx

It's definitely a pricy press, probably too much so. I'm familiar with the lease process and would likely be approved. Why are you surprised they do leases? I very much appreciate you doing the sample prints.

So far the VersaFire offers the sharpest printing for the small font sizes my content uses. For all I know, this is the only thing it does better. Your point is well-taken.

This is not a physical item for sale, but rather is for a lot of time available on a Heidelberg VersaFirel. I'm looking to start my own shop with a Heidelberg VersaFire. So far they handle my specialized digital printing needs a bit better than the Xerox, Canon, KM presses I've tried. By no...

This isn't my press...so it's possible that there is some other setting causing the graininess. Good reminder, I'll see if we can make sure that defaults are being used to establish a baseline.

Thanks, will give it a try. Will also try alternate synthetic substrates.

Hi. I'm working with a local print shop to get the sharpest text on their Versant 80 using Synapse 10 mil synthetic substrate. They have a bustled Fiery. Without setting anything but the weight of the substrate, the output of text is kind of grainy, whereas it's more solid on typical gloss...

Good to know. It's the Accurio Press C2060 since I don't need the higher capacities.

I can do that but the wiring is more expensive. I'd be in among the rare minority of people with a digital press in their bedroom, which is where my jewelry workshop is.

Konica Minolta was pitching their IC-603 controller to me. It's either a bustle or maybe even just a chip in the press and it does include APPE so they say. Very cheap. But they didn't have such a press in the demo room. Granted this is a moot point unless you have a KM press or another...
