    printig at two passes.

    our printer also has the option to do extra passes to increase the ink density. This is useful when you're doing backlit work that looks washed out unless you get the extra density.

    Anyone deal with Midwest Printing Equipment???

    We purchased a small paper cutter from them....Challenge Titan 200. The photos showed a near pristine model, the item we received was definitely not the one in the photos as it had a lot more scuffs and scratches. I think they have "stock" photos taken of a good machine and sell others with the...

    Ryobi 520GX

    barryk, We just got rid of a 524gx in favor of a sm-52 anicolor. We were quite happy with the quality of print from the Ryobi, it was an excellent machine for us. We were only running a 200 line screen but as far as smooth solids and excellent halftones this was a great press. The feeder seemed...

    Press match for color chips

    Question for all you experts in color management. I have a customer wanting to print out swatch sheets of all his paint colors for metal roofing. There are about 60 different colors, the previous printer did a horrible job matching the colors. I and my customer understand that we won't be able...

    Full Bleed Tabs on Xerox 700

    We were told by the salesman that the Xerox 700 will print full bleed tabs. We got our first tab job in and have been unable to find any documentation on tab printing at all other than using the copier. We're using a Creo CX700 RIP. Has anyone else printed full bleed tabs on this machine and...

    injet addresser for aqueous and UV coated prints

    Does anyone know of a good inkjet addresser that works on aqueous and UV coated stocks? We've looked at the Kirk Rudy Wavejet but are unable to justify the cost for our current operation. I'm hoping there is a smaller model that works for at least aqueous coating. Any thoughts on what others are...

    Tear and Crushed Spine Trimming Perfect Bound Books

    We also do a fair number of perfect bound books and trim with our guillotine. We have been unable to get away from the small tear at the edge, the only thing that helps is to make sure the direction the blade is traveling when coming down (ours travels down and to the left) is moving into the...

    I'm afraid I have no answers for you but how long have these been available? We're still using the Ecomaxx thermal plate and have been having trouble with it. We were hoping a new generation were coming out.

Where on the console are the settings to check the network ip address, gateway etc? I've gone through all the menu's and...

    Ryobi Press Technician?

    Anyone know of a good Ryobi press technician. We are having problems with a 524GE and need a knowledgeable serviceman to look into it. We've tried Xpedx but have been getting the runaround for parts and service from them. My next thought would be to go to Ferrostaal but thought I would check out...

    Xerox 770

    to you guys using the Creo rips, we have two 700's, one has a Fiery, the other a Creo. I really like the interface on the Creo better, however I've noticed for some jobs that the Fiery prints better quality. The Fiery is harder to tweak color on so we prefer to use the Creo machine for quick and...

    Thermanent (synthetic paper) on Xerox 700

    I'm trying to run a job on Nekoosa Thermanent synthetic paper (8mil) on our Xerox 700. I'm having trouble getting a good transfer onto the sheet. I've only tried the "Coated reload" 300 gsm setting but want to avoid having too much waste since this is a very expensive sheet and I ordered one...

    We own an 1107ex and a 1350 (very similar as far as i can tell but the tech tells us there are quite a few changes). We have several issues with these that I would like to address when we update equipment next year 1. Registration - I know it has some sort of electronic registration but it's...

    We have both Macs and PCs, this application will probably be run up front by our customer service people though so it would be on a PC. Thanks for all the suggestions.

    I have an application that requires us to delete every 7th and 8th page in a PDF. For instance we would need to delete pages 7 & 8, 15 &16, 23 & 24, etc. (every eighth page). We will be receiving these files every week and there are thousands of pages. Is there an easy way to do this using...

    KM 6501 - Fiery - colour has never been right ?

    Our new printer KM 6000 also has the same problem. I've noticed most printers have a tendency towards one or the other color. The other Xerox printers I've owned have had either a pinkish (magenta) hue or a yellow hue as is the case with our 700. The current Konica has always been pink but...
