    Can you print digital on top of offset prints?

    the Oki C941 can print with white toner. I doubt it will be opaque enough for your application however but it might be worth trying since it's the least expensive printer I know of that will do so. The other presses mentioned (HP Indigo, Xerox, Nexpress, etc) will set you back 250K on the low...

    Xerox XC1000 vs Ricoh c7110x

    I would go with the Xerox colorpress unless you currently have a customer / job that requires the longer sheet size given by the Ricoh. In my opinion that's really the only benefit you will get with the Ricoh while the Xerox has several advantages. 1. Clear toner and the gold/silver option. 2...

    Five Things You Owe Your Employer - And Five You Don't

    I think you've hit the nail on the head here. I might also add that employees should segregate their personal life from their life at work. Let me explain: an employee of ours is going through a divorce and lately, the last month he has been unable to show up for work on time. He's got a dozen...

    CD / DVD holder

    Does anyone know where to purchase a CD holder that can be attached to a printed piece? Specifically I'm looking for something like a plastic or foam "button" that the center of the CD snaps onto. I've tried some google searches but am not sure what terms to even look for.

    Duplexing registration tolerances_km c6000

    go in and adjust the "registration loop" for the tray, taking into account settings for the front and back. This would be in the same area as where you setup the registration for the tray. I believe lower numbers cause the registration rollers to stop for consecutively longer periods of time...

    Printing Envelopes on Xerox 700 or any digital press

    I've never printed peel n seal, instead using the standard gummed envelopes that you lick.

    Printing Envelopes on Xerox 700 or any digital press

    second johntheventer, we run thousands on our Xerox 700 machines. All flaps need to be open, we have never had a problem with wrinkling if you run as described above. We've never gone to the lengths of placing a card in the envelope to avoid the embossing effect although it does happen but has...

    Soft Touch coating doesn't adhere / set

    Reyes1377, we found the cross linker and added it. We also ended up letting it set for a full day before finishing and it's pretty scuff resistant, better than I had hoped. Thanks for everyone's input.

    Soft Touch coating doesn't adhere / set

    We're new to using this type of coating (soft-touch), usually running only gloss aqueous coat. New job today requires soft-touch so we purchased some from our vendor and are finding that it's not setting up correctly over top the ink. It's a big solid heavy rich black (approx 50,30,30,100 CMYK)...

    Stock counts???

    how about a pallet jack with a scale built in? Another thought, does the chart they have take into account different brands of stock (assuming that you use different brands regularly) perhaps one brand mic's out at 0.010" per sheet of 100# and another brand is 0.0105" ....just a thought

    Heidelberg Prinect vs. Fuji XMF

    We're a small shop with a 52cm press and hopes of adding a 74cm in the near future. Our main pain point right now is color management and being able to print proofs that match our presswork in addition to being able to match our digital work to our press. During our discussion with the vendors...

    Fiery EX J75 RIP problems (Xerox j75 press)

    FYI it does appear that our ex75 does detect black only pages, there is not an explicit option to check like on prior rips I have used but it does pick up that pages are black only (assuming NO color elements exist). To ensure the page contains only black we use enfocus pitstop to convert...

    Xerox C75 Print Quality Advice...

    it could very well be the roller you mentioned then. From my understanding (dont take this as gospel) this is the 2nd Transfer roller that transfers the toner from the belt to the sheet. When you go into the custom paper types and adjust the "image transfer" it's adjusting the bias between this...

    Copy & Print -- Too many sales under $1.00 ?

    We have struggled with this problem as well and decided to charge a very small fee of $1.00 per file to open and print (plus the print cost) pdf files. If the file comes in another format it's $3.00 per file to offset our additional software cost to always have the latest version of the most...

    Xerox C75 Print Quality Advice...

    This is what we usually refer to as mottle in our shop. The only way I've seen to get it cleared up is to have a technician come in and put in new developer. It might be you can narrow it down to one of the colors in particular such as reds or blues and then only change the appropriate developer...

    colored vinyl with aqueous coating?????

    I'm afraid you might not be able to find such an item...it seems like the major use for vinyl is for outdoor applications which pretty much leaves aqueous out of the game when it comes to any sort of longevity outdoors.

    Need help for Banner Printing! fuji Xerox DC V 5575

    I'll second what Craig said. If you're actually running this volume you need to look at something else.
