    Looking for a printer to handle 9x24" paper to print music sheets

    Pretty much any Newer engine from Ricoh, Xerox or KM have what is called banner print capabilities of 13 X 27, 28 ish. Not sure what your budget is though, these would be considered more of a production machine.

    Digital Production machine Advise

    Sorry, didn't realize that you were not in the states...the three machines I referenced from KM, Xerox and Ricoh are all roughly in the same class with about the same base engine price over here

    Digital Production machine Advise

    Not exactly sure why you are looking at the Newest rendition of the KM machine but going backwards with both the Xerox and Ricoh which both in my opinion out perform the KM. I recently (6 month ago or so) did a complete test run on all 3 NEW machines and both Ricoh and Xerox destroyed KM. I am...

    Ricoh 9100 Cable Connection Problems

    I had the same issue when our I.T. guy tinkered with some server settings and somewhere along the way the press and the Fiery stopped chatting (exact same message tho) He had to go back in to the Fiery and re-point to the Ricoh somehow....sorry I don't Speak I.T. Speech so I am not quite sure...

    Ricoh C7100 density/saturation issues

    Showed my Tech and he said it looks like a paper setting but since you already messed with that ???? Does the 7110 come with the Media Identification Unit?

    Estimating offset printing cost

    A 52 will only give you the ability to print 4 Page Sigs so on the specs you stated earlier you would be looking at 144 Plates which would be quite expensive if you were going head to head against a 29 or a 40. You can definitely find very inexpensive Used offset equipment and the market seems...

    Looking for a printer for short run brochures on 80lb

    When you say Brochure I am going to assume a Tr-fold? As stated above that will require at the least a small amount of bindery equipment, Cutter, folder and more than likely they will crack like a "son of a" so then you would need score or crease capabilities unless of course your customer...

    You know you're old when . . .

    Well I still say Pound but apparently the correct term now is Hashtag :D

    Where to start .....

    Would love to hear how you like the Morgana Digifold once you get some use out of it. I looked at one a while back and they seemed pretty slick but then I was told "by a Duplo Salesman" that they are terrible piles of steaming doo doo. Really interested to see what you think

    New shop - First volume job

    See what your click charge is VS farming it out to a Trade Printer..... Just guessing it would cost less to farm it to either a web or offset joint

    New Shop - Need Help

    Indigo.... MAJOR Overkill for a start-up. I would also consider trade printers to start with to see where it goes before investing in everything it takes to run a fully functioning print shop

    Estimating offset printing cost

    Many good points on here about Jumping in to the Offset World if you are currently only Digital. The cost would be "extreme" to say the least to jump in to Large sheet offset + Pre-press + Bindery. I believe you are 100% correct that the 3500 books you are referencing is not a Digital Job (to be...

    Varnish Over Toner

    We have had that issue before with UV off of our KM Machines. I do know that each manufacturer has different coatings for different toner adhesion....at least that is what we were told. I know that we used to have really bad "chipping" issues in the past but we haven't tried any coatings since...

    Ricoh C9110 recommendations

    I will try to find some time to run some #10's and tell you what code I am getting

    Ricoh C9110 recommendations

    Yah, we have had our 9100 for about 6 months and I think the techs have replaced the cables at least once in all of the drawers so far, maybe twice in a couple. It does print Classic Columns almost better than our offset does. It truly does an amazing job on heavy textures

    Varnish Over Toner

    Interesting.... I know a few years back that we would have to "burn off" some of the toner before we could UV the sheets. Might be worth a try

    Ricoh C9110 recommendations

    I have had ZERO luck running #10's on our 9100. Ricoh says it will ... but our sales rep told us beforehand that it was very difficult. I know there are people out there doing it but I haven't been able to figure it out yet

    Varnish Over Toner

    We have had a problem with the varnish just kind of rolling off in the past but that was on our KM Machines. Guess we will just have to do some testing off of the Ricoh
