    Xerox freeflow vs fiery as issues?

    I have 3 FreeFlow driven DC5000APs. Short answer, there are some problems to be aware of. #1 Free Flow was originally shipped with the DTP 20 Spectrophotometer. That is no longer made by XRite and is near end of life so recertifying it is next to, if not, impossible. (Most people don't know...

    Which UV Coater for Digital Shop??

    I've never heard that grain direction and UV mean anything... I have a 21" (TecLighting) and we always feed on the short edge first of the 12x18. Unless you have a mechanical feeder, getting it perfectly square is almost impossible during feeding. I'd go with the TecLighting any day over a...

    XEROX 800 issues

    I know it's not what you want to hear, but.... We got rid of our Xerox 1000 after 45 days of problems and went back to the Xerox 5000 platform. They are rock solid comparatively... Didn't see that particular problem, but ours went back due to banding in the halftones. (40-60% coverage of each...

    konica 6500 -xerox 5000

    I'm betting it was a KM dealer that told you no more? We no longer accept quotes from dealers. We will only use the manufacturers direct channel for equipment. Every dealer we've ever worked with have involved lawyers.

    Need help with business start up!

    Agreed... while you may be able to use the printing if the business flops, most people don't have a huge "home use" for a folding machine, scoring machine, or paper cutter...

    konica 6500 -xerox 5000

    I'd start looking for a new service provider or a new machine now. We had a Xerox 700 through a Global Imaging Dealer who decided we were using too much toner and would only send 1 or 2 cartridges per shipment despite the fact that we ordered 10 of each color. Luckily we started looking right...

    Digital Decision

    Xerox Direct is no longer selling the DC5000AP as new. You can only get them through the CAST system (used/refurbed). I am looking right now and have quotes on the CAST 5000AP. It seems the price has gone up (again) on it since December.

    Xerox 1000 Install...

    If you read some of my other posts you will see detailed reasons the Free Flow on the 1000 has issues. When it comes to the Free Flow product I don't mind it at all. I run it on the two 5000s I have. As for the "don't take a jab comment"... I don't appreciate it and feel you should show some...

    New Konica C8000 Install

    It is not my desire to sound challenging; however, as the individual at the center of the referenced "bad Xerox Install", I feel I need to correct some things. Was the install bad? Yes. Were the issues resolved? No. What was Xerox's Last proposal? Wait until prototype parts are available in...

    Xerox 7002 vs Konica c8000

    I wouldn't look at the Xerox 800/1000 I wouldn't look at the Xerox 800/1000 Just my opinion, but I would steer clear of the 800/1000 for at least a year. Ours is broken into pieces waiting on the truck to come pick it up. After 45 days of install, we finally cut the cord and told them to...

    Brochure confusion: What is the weight/size of the Xerox 1000?

    IOT basically is the print engine. I don't know for sure what the correct weight it but I'd bet it is the 3000+ number not the 2,000. If you read the MSDS and the install guide the machine uses two different amounts of power, and ironically, the one stating it uses more power generates less...
