    Digi-Nip

    Is anyone out there using the Digi-Nip device to set the roller nips on their presses. I know Heidelberg is using it when they set up new presses and supposedly it cuts down the roller striping time by 50%. I am looking at buying one but at $2300 I want to make sure its worth the investment.

    Looking for a rock solid inkset for Gracol output

    We are a G7 master printer and use VanSon VS3 inks. Very high quality, laser safe after 72 hours and can be laminated or UV coated with no problems. Most if not all of the major ink manufacturers will have an ink that fit your criteria.

    Adding print devices in Rampage...

    As far as I know Rampage only supports the 8400 and 6400 from Canon and it takes Rampage 10.6 and later to drive them as far as I know.

    End to Prepress Operator??

    They will always need people to fix the "Print Ready Pdfs" supplied by customers that created them in Powerpoint, Word and Publisher. We have Rampage and take advantage of all the automation including Jdf and autoimpose and it has not affected staffing at all. It just makes us more efficient and...

    Rampage V11

    I have upgraded to 11.1 The interface is still the same but they have added a lot of nice features. The main reason I upgraded was the dramatic increase in Pdf Trap Engine speed. Jdf is simply a instruction set that Rampage can use for imposition, you still need to feed it files. IE: pdfs. I...

    Doubleproof Firmware

    The firmware is embedded on the disk. The hard drive needs to be replaced by one from the manufacturer. If your tech says its possible, maybe it is. Our tech always told us the HD needs to be replaced. I went through that problem three times over the past few years until I couldn't take it...

    Xrite 508 Black Calibration

    I always do it in a darkened room. It is not looking for a black tile. When it asks for the black cal, just depress the device as though you were reading the white tile but do it while holding it in the air in a darkened room. Thats what the book says and thats what I have always done and it works.

    Coating over metallic inks

    It will lose some of its sheen if you coat inline. I have had good luck coating metallics as a dry pass. Also MetalFX is no longer marketed, they say the ink will still be available but they do not say for how long.

    Weird Issue

    At this point the pms coming out a black has not been fixed by CGS. I talked to tech support about this issue and they were going to contact CGS Germany but thats as much as I have heard. If you have 2 channels in the ripped page even if one is empty it comes out correctly. Its only when you...

    GFI MX6 ink mixing machine

    Had one for 8 months now. Love it. We use VanSon inks and their database is the most accurate out there. They are constantly getting feedback from the field on the formulas and update their database several times a year. We have virtually eliminated old unused inks sitting around on the shelf.

    Weird Issue

    What version of Oris are you running? I am not sure as to what the exact cause is, I am still looking into it. For what ever reason it seems to drop a sep prior to recombining them for output to the epson. I had a sales/tech from Oris in the plant today and it totally slipped my mind to ask him...
