Sorry, my bad. Canon were pitching 7010s to us recently which we were (from memory) in the mid 100Ks each. I thought that 6010s were slowed down versions of the same machine and assumed would be something like 20% cheaper. If the 6010s are 50K then they are clearly different engines...

OP - you are not comparing like for like: * The 6501 is a discontinued product (at least in the country that I'm in) * The 6010 must be at least 3 times the price of a 6501. The 6010 should be compared with the km8000 as they are nearest in price. I believe that Canon has a product in the...

Oh do behave wolfster, I know three of them myself. Are you even talking about the right country? Who the heck cares anyway? I only mentioned it to overscan because our old KM account manager is at the reseller mentioned and overscan probably knows him too.

overscan, btw Zerographic (01934 636393) for sure are going to be selling the x800 as a rep was in the other day talking to me about it. One or two of the people from KM have washed up there after the mass exodus from the production print division, so you may see a familiar face. I know...

Interesting, thanks for the info. I guess KM see us as a cash cow :( The monthly click charges make the machine payment look like peanuts, so I would have thought that KM would want to make 100% sure that our upgrades were 6501->8000 rather than 6501->x800. Are your quotes through resellers...

That's what I heard, UK release of the x800 shortly & priced very, very aggressively vs the KM8000. I've had to eat my words, as originally I believed that these machines were in different classes, but they are priced head to head so direct comparisons must be made. Josh, I can't give actual...

UNIVERSAL 3DL - sounds like you really like printing, good for you. A good POD printer will do this cheaper than your cost price and manufacture it to a much higher standard than you can possibly achieve with the kit that you mention. I ran it through our price calculator and it comes out at...

Is anyone else experiencing the 4127 (and 4112 presumably) drum problems? After a year and a half of pretty near faultless performance, Xerox has dumped us in the crap. Xerox tells us that they changed manufacturers of the drums and that's what's causing the problems (print quality, premature...

Matt, we seem to have this working 100% so far on live customer orders , what's the prize? ;) Lots of code though.

Hi - thanks for your replies & sorry not to respond sooner. Well I'm sure that there are a few companies doing/developing the same kind of thing, but as far as I am aware none of them are offering it on a pay per use basis. Basically, we take the engine from an excellent preflight & correction...

For our own use, we've developed an application for automatic file preparation and I wondered whether you think that anyone else would be interested if we offered it as (for instance) a pay-per-use service? We currently have it processing a reasonably high volume of (live) customer PDFs...

Workflow automation: lights out proofing.

I'm all sorted, apart from a few bugs, figuring it out from the description worked.

Does anyone have a copy of the XML schema for the CLI configuration file that they can send me? It's not anywhere in the installation that I can find and although I can reverse engineer it from the description, the documentation is so full of bugs and errors that I'm afraid that there will be...

Forums are great for asking questions, less good for asking about peoples experiences. Lots of trolls, lots of newbies. Pick up the phone and speak to local COMMERCIAL PRINTERS who use the machines you are interested in, then make your mind up. If the manufacturer can't give you plenty of...

Craig, I think Uber may have mis-typed. On a C8000 there can be tray DE-humidifiers and a RE-humidifer as an option. I think that it's easier to think of the tray option as a "tray heater" - as far as I know that's what it does, gently warms the paper. It's also a PITA if you leave the...

They may have been hacked, XSS is still a major issue for web sites run by the inexperienced. I seem to remember they had a method for leaving comments, which makes them a prime XSS hack candidate if they haven't coded to prevent this. If someone on the forum knows them, they should let them...

This thread is funny! Who said the printing trade had lost it's sense of humour? @Stochastic - you got busted, when you're in a hole, stop digging! @X33 - don't you know anything ;) the water is for making Japanese tea, not for cooling the machine! Tea bags are now a consumable that you...

That sounds like you are getting a poor response. You're meant to get a PM (preventative maintenance) visit on a regular basis and replace things BEFORE they go wrong. I'm pretty sure that the idea that you deliberately let things go wrong before you service the machine is an Ikon concept - we...

hondarr9 - I'd make sure that you actually have this problem as I think you may be looking at it from the wrong end. As long as you keep your sprayers serviced and set up right, the powder should be barely detectable (we have no problem UV coating sheets).
