    AB Dick 9870 - Image/Text Dropout?

    Are your plates a clean white in the imaged areas or yellowish. If they are yellow the chemistry is old. You can up your exposure setting using the exposure test to get by. It's been 7 yrs since I ran that machine but I remember you could generate a visual exposure test. The images were circles...

    Printing NCR and window enveloeps on digital equipment

    We ran all of our envelopes on our Ricoh 7110 before getting our Xante. We run NCR on our Ricoh 901 & 7110. We also run it on our KM 1050 which is a bit of a Dinosaur.

    Can you print a mirror image from Command Workstation 6.5 on the Ricoh 7110

    I searched the Fiery help files & mirror is supposed to be in the "Layout" tab, It's not showing as an option on our RIP. We have a VI job that needs to print wrong reading. We'll be outputting the PDF files from Fusion Pro. Thanks, Ray

    Ricoh Pro C7210sx constant paper jams

    We just had a jam on one of our machines. A roughly 3" oval was in the ream wrapped paper and rode along until it hit the stitcher. Paper can be a real jerk.

    Ricoh Pro C7210sx constant paper jams

    Are you using the default Ricoh libraries? They are...not great. We use a custom library for 70-100# text. When I've had issue like this turning on the side shutter fans & pickup assist will fix it. If that doesn't work bumping the fan strength up should do the trick.

    CTP Recommendations

    At my last job we ran a Kodak Trendsetter News. I'll say this, it was robust. It was under Kodak service. Our Benchmark was 26 plates per hour. All of our webs were 4up. We ran 2 shifts. We had 3 Heidelberg Web 8's. A Harris M-308(?) and a Diddie.

    So How many prepress technicians got laid off because of Covid-19

    This happens in the capitalist paradise that's the US, it's just the temp agency or hiring company that sets the rules. At my last job the agency would pull a temp after 12 months. When I dealt with J&J they used Kelly Scientific & I think the contracts were a max of 24 months, after that they...

    DPM 2340 Interface card

    You can try reseating it but, you may need to call Presstek / Mark&Andy to get the card. My experience was on a 2340 from 2001 but, everything was proprietary. We had a HDD go bad 2004 and we had to buy a pre-loaded one from AB-Dick. The good news is that the machine & rip are still running...

    EDDM bundling

    We use a counting a scale. You can make a bunch of 100/50 piles and only hand count the "short" piles. EDDM is a very small part of our work. At our last job we used calipers. They were not very accurate, at that place we did 20-50k EDDM pieces a week.

    CSR and Prepress roles merging (a little)?

    My last job did this with my position. I was trained fully as a CSR and then trained in Prepress In previous positions I had done both. By the time I left I was 60-80% Prepress and the balance was CSR. The mix varied by time of year. My schedule was Tuesday-Saturday and the weekend crew loved...
