    Is it me or the printer?

    There will be some movement, but 4mm is unworkable in my opinion. The obvious thing to check is that your paper guides in the trays are tight to the stock - if it moves in the tray, then there will of course be movement on the printed sheet. Providing the tray guides are good, then yes, call...

    Which printer should I buy for comic printing?

    You say you will be printing comic books, so does this mean you will be wanting to print double sided? If so, something else to consider with an inkjet printer would be, if you are using high ink coverage on 80gsm newsprint, will the paper be able to withstand that amount of ink on both sides?

    Colour 550 Winkles on 90gsm matte paper

    We have had very similar problems on our 700. 2nd BTR was the cause. Been through 3 of these in the past 6 months, each time a new 2nd BTR fixes the problem for a few weeks. Tech syas it's because we use lots of uncoated paper.

    trimmer suitable for perfect bind book

    I think you will find it's the clamp doing the spine crushing, not the blade. What you have to do is stop the spine of the book being held by the clamp. Most three knife trimmers use a wooden block smaller than the books to clamp so the spine is not held. I only have fairly small perfect...

    Chinese brand cutters...what do you think

    I bought one of these a couple of years ago, but was less than impressed. Tried to use it for about a week until we gave up and went back to our old Ideal trimmer. These Chinese models are very cheaply made and it shows - not accurate in their sizing and feel flimsy. Our one also kept...

    Business Cards how to - workflow question

    If you're a big enough company with enough money, anything is possible! We've been using Cute PDF Pro for a couple of years now, and it suits us fine. But we don't have 100 different business card orders to process in one day! Typical day for us would be maybe 10-15 different business card...

    Xerox Metered Supplies vs PagePack...

    Mines also set up to automatically send meter reads. I was also offered the option for automatic ordering of consumables - I declined on that one!

    Xerox Metered Supplies vs PagePack...

    We're in the UK, but similar things happen. We've had a Xerox DC250 for about 3 years now, and not had too many problems getting supplies. If I ordered four or five sets of toner, I would get them within a day or so without any problems. We've just added a Xerox 700, which is supposed to be...

    What am I missing without a RIP?

    I agree with kdw75. We have an Epson 7600 without a rip. When we bought the printer, we were told without a rip we would not be able to print pdf's, and colours would all be wrong, but I think it depends on your needs. We print from pdf's all day long with no problems. Obviously we have rips...

    Konica Minolta Bizhub C552 Banding in Greyscale

    Hi We've just aquired a KM C552. I know it's classed as an office machine with no rip, but it's main use for us will be as a backup machine and for walk in copying so our Xerox's can be left to run. Problem we are having is banding on greyscale, about every 4mm. Engineer has no idea on how...

    Questions!

    I once ended up asking a customer to take his work elsewhere because he was so sure he knew my job better than I did. Serious conversation with him: Customer: Why do you want a pdf? No other printers use pdfs, are you that old fashioned? Microsoft Publisher files are what most printers use...

    Does a digital printing company need a sales rep?

    Thanks for your input, it has made me rethink things. Unfortunately, finding a general manager who could handle everything I do would be difficult and expensive. At least a sales person could be on a low basic so only needed paying higher wages if they were actually bringing the money in. A...

    Does a digital printing company need a sales rep?

    Thanks. I hear what you are saying and totally agree. I've even given exactly the same advice to others before! Problem I have is that what I do is not something which could be easily delegated to one person. As I say we have 2 people in production and me + 1 part time in the office. My...

    Does a digital printing company need a sales rep?

    I'm working 12+ hours a day 7 days a week now. Not enough hours for me to be selling too.

    Does a digital printing company need a sales rep?

    Hi Just after some other printers opinions. We're a small family run digital printing company in the UK. Currently have 4 of us working here, 2 in production and 2 in the office, although no-one is a dedicated sales person. We also outsource litho work so cover a broad product range. Whilst...

    [help] Booklet printing

    I suspect your workcentre does not use any form of rip, which is the box which can do the imposing bit you are after. All you need to have to do what you are after is some imposition software. If you are happy with your printer, no need to buy another just to impose. Our docucolor has a fiery...
