    Curious, what was the problem and what printer were you having the problem with. Also did you adjust your fusing temps at all when testing?

    We did this on the 7100 we used to have albeit the coverage of the foil stamping was light coverage, and it seemed to work well. However one thing to not is if the foil image was not fully applied/transfers (little bits of edge trim around art/object that didn't release cleanly) it will track...

    Upgrading to Ricoh 7200 series

    So here is the thing with the clear that I noticed. Really if you set Special to lay down with max density (5) it works really well, not so much raised like spot UV, but a very nice effect IF used with dull stock for the contrast. Blind hits on dulls/mattes are amazing IMO. Problem to me is if...

    Should I be using "optimize RGB Trnsparency " button on my fiery

    So this is something you should look at if you haven't already. There is no real straight forward answer unless I reply "do what works for you". Read this and when reading take note that it's behavior is conditional depending on several conditions. Hope the read helps: Detail Optimize RGB...

    Ricoh 9200 Operators

    So kinda funny you mention the firmware. He was actually surprised that on install the machine already had all the latest firmware installed which I guess is not a common thing to find upon install, dunno. However, the issue was definitely the plug as mentioned but even so, three months after...

    Ricoh 9100

    Yeah the only negative thing I suppose is you have to run fairly small batches in the tray at a time, however depends on run size if this really is a concern (i.e. 500 vs 10000 could be a killer in runtime). Also the tech said he hates when ppl run envelopes because it wears the belt funny. For...

    Ricoh 9100

    Actually very happy with the 9200 running envelopes so far. However on caveat is, the envelopes with the diagonal cut flaps didn't seem to run as well however we had to run some #10 Window and got the square cut flap and ran 10000 really with no issue. We had a Xante and tbh it really was kind...

    Muller Martini Suckers?

    Yea my guess was along those lines due to its profile it would be used to open the sig rather than pull it from the hopper.

    Ricoh 9200 Operators

    Okay so a couple thing here. Apparently this particular finisher has been out for a while however it was only usually found on the 8300 series units and on the 7200s. Just recently have they started being paired with the 9200s. So, here's the thing even though you are being told the J codes are...

    Ricoh 9200 Operators

    Yea so those are the J codes the thing is the finisher is a new model supposedly and only in the new service manual for the 9200 does it list them. So I'm told. But, the two codes relate to I believe the eye on in feed to the unit paper getting to it late and then the other one not exactly sure...

    Ricoh 9200 Operators

    So wondering if any of you have gone through this before and what ended up fixing the problem. What happens is shortly after install I began having this issue where the sheet would not exit the finisher. It would stop short of the exit wheels sometimes right when it enter the exit wheels and...

    Muller Martini Suckers?

    Yea they don't even sell them but I can ask elsewhere. I was just hoping someone knew because I have seen them before just nobody seem to ever know.

    New 9200 Questions

    So I never followed up on this, I ended up addressing this problem a second time but this time with my usual tech whom I trust very very much as far as resolving weird out of the norm issue like this. He ordered a black laser just in case and thought it might be the motor that controls the...

    Printing same image (2UP) on sheet problem with print

    I know what you mean by this but I find more people tend to go straight to flattening rather than try to resolve the issue or even have the person who created it take a look at the file. The problem I have with just flattening files is you lose the ability to grab spot callouts and the...

    Press Recovery After Jam

    Hrmm...not sure this is the same thing. Might be but this sounds like something different. Or could be a couple things going on including what I mentioned. The main problem I was referring to in my post was either the job would process (apparently in CWS that is) but then not push the job...

    Press Recovery After Jam

    I know this is an odd question but, when this happens as in, the job processes but does not complete and jump to the print process, if you open the door on the printer does it say/show the door is open? I had some weird problems with my 7110 and just wondering if for some reason it is similar a...

    Ricoh 9200 and Synthetics

    Well so yea, I guess I got it a lot "better". I ramped up the paper transfer to 7/10 which helped a lot and was close to what printed on paper. I mean it's synthetic and I am not expecting it to be perfect, but I would like it to be closer to the color it should be printing. At least this would...

    Ricoh 9200 and Synthetics

    Okay as mentioned in the other thread I'm trying to get used to this printer and tbh, aside from a couple issues it is a great printer thus far. However, I have hit a roadblock and that is with Mohawk Synthetic 16mil media. So on the 7110 you have to be familiar with the paper catalog options...

    So we were able to get somewhere with the skewing issue. So in running a baseline the test sheet showed what I saw skewing at the lead and the trail edge however didnt look as bad as what I initially saw. The figured that, after 2 hours of troubleshooting, they figured the black laser mirror...
