Yes that is going to be a problem the indigo uses a completely different printing process than all other brands. They have a patent on what they call electroink which is closer to offset ink than toner. Also another big difference is that the indigo is set up like a offset machine in that it is...

We are currently looking at the canon c1000 but more recently i have become interested in the ricoh9110. But that is early stages and I don't know anything about the ricoh brand.

If it is absolutely imperative that you have the best quality variable prints at the fastest possible speed. Than i believe indigo is for you. But if not you may want to look at something a step down from that. Indigo is expensive to run and you do need to have trained people to run them and...

What are the click charge and maintenance agreements like on a 9110?

The DI is an interesting idea does anyone know what they are going for these days.

So it seems yearbooks are just a oddity. To get the quality I want I have to spend more than the average but at the same time yearbooks are not a year round business which makes it hard to justify that kind of spending. Everything we have looked at is either expensive and more than we need. Or...

we buy fuji which is a bit expensive compared to others but they have some of the best plates on the market. and we don't buy as many plates as other companies do so we don't really qualify for any kind of discount.

How would you rank the quality on the 1000i to say a indigo 7500. Because as i posted earlier we have a couple J75s and the quality just is not consistent enough to do anything more than flyers and order envelopes.

we pay about 7$ a plate for the sm74 and about 0.07$ a sheet for our indigo so up to a certain point the indigo is cheaper but the more impressions you add eventually you are paying more in clicks than in plates.

offset is cheap if you have the numbers to put on it but for a company like the one i work for it gets costly. We do yearbooks and the runs are generally anywhere from 200 copies to 1500 copies. so if you have a 48pg book 250 copies the cost in plates and the time it takes to do make ready along...

I keep seeing people talk about the 1000s what is the price range on one of those. And also does anyone have experience with the rialto 900 its the only way we can go to roll fed because we dont have any equipment to do roll to roll.

I dont know if you got the email i sent you but i actually covered that in it. We outsource our PB and HB books. and we use a horizon saddle stitcher for our softbacks.

we have two J75s and when we originally got them we had hopes of putting books on them but the quality just is not there. so unless the quality on the V2100 is leaps ahead of the j75 it just wont be worth it. we also have a few 550s the J75 and 550s are great for envelope and letter printing...

Yes the idea is that for the price of a 7800 we could get multiple machines from another vendor clicks and maintenance would be the big thing for us as our company is a debt free company and would be buying the machines outright. The thing is right now we only have one digital machine that can...

my shop runs both digital and offset and yes a good offset machine like the SM is going to be more dependable than any digital machine out there and as long as you have a good operator quality is going to be better as well. The only question is do you have the work to make offset profitable? Now...

Does anyone here have experience with the canon c10000 we are supposed to be looking at one next week. They are boasting some impressive capabilities.

Hey guys im new to the press forums but i need help figuring out what press can fit my needs. I am currently an operator on a indigo 7500. personally i love the indigo but my higher ups dont like the price and have grown tired of dealing with the business aspect. So for future growth they are...
