Shelby, since you're running such light stock how do you deal with the curl effectively, I'm assuming you're not manually decurling such large runs. Any thoughts for the rest of us?

We also thought it was the water bottle cap and ordered 4 new ones (2 for each head) - about $70 each. However it is definitely not the cap. After some further study this morning this is what I've determined: The water system when opened up to either 5 or 6 (six discrete positions with 6 being...

I recently "inherited" two used Printmaster 46-2 presses. I'm having trouble figuring out how to set the water so it does not leak. If I put the water bottle on the tray and the machine is stopped the tray fills with water like it should and then stops draining from the bottle when it becomes...

these all look like good ideas to experiment with. We'll try them out on our next run of lightweight stock. Out of curiosity RGPW17100, you mention that your 'decurler' on press does not seem to work well. I'm thinking about the possibility of adding one to our press (I believe it's an...

No it does not have a coater...does a coater alleviate the curling problem to some degree? Have you found the paper grain makes much difference?

We are running a Ryobi 524 that we just purchased. We're having quite a bit of trouble backing up sheets with any sort of coverage. The paper is just too curled to run back through the feeder. This is what we've tried 1. running minimum amount of water - to the point of just above scumming 2...

I believe the Xante Illumina is spec'd at 26pt board but it's the only one I know of, the second thickest from my understanding is the Indigo which is supposed to run 18pt

Does anyone know of a way to turn off double feed detection on a Konica C6000 for a particular paper tray...specifically the high capacity trays?

I would recommend you outsource the larger run lengths and purchase a digital production printer to produce the shorter runs of cards - probably all runs of less than 5,000 pieces. The longer runs should be more cost effective outsourcing. If these are the only jobs you plan on running each...

We felt like we were in the same boat as you about 6 months ago. We were outsourcing many runs over 5000 pieces that were just not cost effective on our digital equipment...sometimes we would run digital just to get it turned quicker but the cost was a bit more. We looked at several press...

we have the two drawer PF-602. We've been only running this stock from drawer 5 (bottom drawer), today after the technician left I played with the "registration loop" taking it down to -60 which seemed to make a big difference. However he was back later to look at a color consistency issue from...

our technician looked everything over and tightened the registration on our KM 6000 up some, however it's still not as good as our Xerox 700, the worst part is I'm being told there is no skew adjustment on the machine, and our main problem now is the skew on the sheet. We've gone through the...

kalindad, this worked perfectly. I lowered it by 3 and it fused beautifully, the print seems a tad bit darker but is easily adjusted in the RIP. Another side-note to this is that apparently the higher nip pressure also minimizes the gloss differential we had on this particular fuser at the 12"...

We do use the 74-043 NVM value to print more solid blacks when printing only black and white and to reduce mottle. Depending on the stock though, for instance a 12pt C2S sheet with a "reflex blue" color it makes the mottle worse. to kalindd: I appreciate your post and it looks like these are...

our tech can't seem to get the registration consistent...been a nightmare this first week.

"Image transfer" adjusts the voltage (bias) on either the first or second BTR on the machine, this allows you to adjust somewhat for mottle but doesn't go far enough. We took our machine down to 50% (whatever that means) and it kept getting better, however 50% is as low as you can go so even...

Is there some sort of adjustment we can make to the fuser temperature of the Xerox 700? We're running our standard 80# cover stock at the 220gsm coated setting and it's not quite fusing. We're having to jump up two settings to the 300gsm setting to get it to fuse correctly, it seems to be worse...

We've been using the Printmaster Digital Window Envelope. However we get it from a local vendor that is in the northwest.

We just purchased a KM6000 and have been very pleased with the quality of print off the engine. One area that has been a problem for us has been sheet to sheet registration. We also run Xerox 700's and they hold much, much tighter registration for front to back as well as sheet to sheet. On the...

Matt, Thanks...this worked great, it's nice to see this kind of service on a public forum.
