Good shout!!! I've tried the silicone spray with the new blade but I might try gluing 2 printed sheets of 200gsm to a 350gsm centre sheet with a hotter fuser and slower speed. Thanks

Hi all you experts out there. I've printed a menu on my Xerox Versant 80 toner based digital press which is 2 sheets of 350gsm Silk. Both sheets have a solid blue background and they are then duplex glued back to back and after 24 hours I guillotine to A5. Front side looks excellent with nice...

Don't know if this helps but attached is a PDF showing knife change for my Polar 66.

When I'm about to put some sheet through for creasing on my Morgana Digifold Mk1, I put the feed on switch down and get a message on the display with the letter 'r', this disappears very fast and then a 'h' appears this disappears very fast again and then 'F' appears but nothing else happens. I...

I've been looking into this myself and have come across the following: https://www.ghost-white-toner.com/ The SRA3 machine printed in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and White in 1 pass. Black is made up of CMY. There is also an option for neon CMY which can be used when printing on transfer paper, ready...

When I have this kind of problem, I run the sheet through my V80 twice. I heat up the paper by running the sheets with a blank image and then running it again straight away with the image on.

Which software program are you talking about????????

I have a versant 80 this has has happened to me before. This first thing you need to understand is how a sheet of paper is turned over when printed 1 side only as either face up or face down. First pic shows you which door you need to open and the 2nd pic shows you the door for the duplexer...

On the Xerox touch screen do the following: Tools > Setup & Adjustments > Density Uniformity Adjustment > Semi Auto Process using scanner. Then follow the on screen instructions

If you're going to score/crease cartons, make sure you do some tests on different thicknesses of material. Based in the UK, I produce short run carton packaging by printing on my Xerox toner based digital press and cut & crease on my Duplo PFiBlade B3. We had a look at the Graphtec F-Mark when...

When you feed the sheets into the machine, do the staple heads push down onto the sheets as though they are stapling.

I think it is because my Duplo PFi Blade uses JWei blades. I've looked around to try and find the blades cheaper because they are quite expensive. I got a quote from China but the minimum quantity I could order was 150 Blades, so I'm stuck with using Duplo at the moment (they're slightly cheaper...

I'm based in North London and also have a Versant 80. Are you sure about the region thing. I'm able to print onto a 660mm long sheet through tray 5 feeder tray but it only works on stock up to 220gsm so if I have to use a heavier stock, I increase the temperature on the fuser.

I have this exact stapler as well and you've just read my mind. I always thought about doing what you've showed but had no idea how to. I might show a local metal works company your picture and ask for one of these!!! ;)

Thanks, that was one of the problems because once you punch a staple, you can't tell beforehand if centred on the spine. I tried to build a jig out of wood and mark a feint line on the top sheet for position of staple but its always hit and miss.

I need to print and make up 10 x A4 landscape bookets (A4 landscape 16 pages on 250gsm Silk). I can print a long sheet on my Xerox Versant 80 and score each sheet if required My Duplo booklet maker is too short to stitch an A4 landscape book, so does anyone have any tips on how I can accurately...

Maybe try turning the 'knife change' knob anti-clockwise (located under the table next to the on-off switch) and then turn it back to clockwise.

Fair enough, that's your view but one of the ways I've changed is to watch and keep an eye on what youngsters are doing nowadays and never underestimate how quick things are changing. I've been in print for over 30 years but I'm not naive and am willing to move with the times, even if it means...

I can understand using Canva as a 1-off for a flyer but not sure about 50 page books. I noticed that Canva allow you to download it as an app, so I wonder if they've made it easier to use rather than working online

I spoke to my niece a couple of days ago and she's just started working in social media marketing. When she's gone for interviews, she told me that a lot of companies (in the UK) now ask if she's familiar with Canva rather InDesign or any other layout program. I wonder if this is because its...
