When we got the J75 we were under the Xerox service. Then one day MOTG called us and said that Xerox who purchased MOTG will now service our J75. MOTG had no knowledge of the machine. Service techs would break parts while fixing other parts that were broken. For months I was telling them the...

Needed a replacement for our J75. Started to look at various manufactures. Ricoh, Canon, Konica, Xerox. Went to all the demos, 9110 was the game changer. At first we could not believe what we were seeing. Speed, Quality, Price. Spent a day at Ricoh and Xerox, Xerox 3100, to run actual jobs. OMG...

Sorry my mistake its 4x faster than our J75. 2x faster than Xerox 3100. Remember when I said we were hardcore Xerox people. I could not believe what I was told. So we took the same job to Xerox 3100 and Ricoh 9100. Over 2X faster. No lie.

We just installed Ricoh 9110. Went from J75. Did extensive tests on Xerox 3100 and Ricoh 9110. Ricoh runs over 4 times faster on heavier stock. Just ran a 1300 sheets, 13x19 100lb Dull cover, two sided in half an hour. Testing both machines made a huge difference for us. We actually saw how 3100...

64” Plotter - Summa D or T series maybe Roland GX-640 or GD-640 We are currently running Roland GX500 Pro. We need something bigger now. Looking for advice between Summa and Roland. Would prefer to use Ethernet vs USB, and prefer something that has a more powerful rollers to use on long rolls...

We have ours on the server. 2017 Jobs folder, May 2017 Folder, 132568 Xerox Lhd folder, All files related to that job are inside that folder, links, fonts and working files. Each working file and PDF are listed as 132568 Xerox Lhd.pdf ( Job Number, Customer, Project) Every moth we start a new...

We run both, Roland and HP360. Both will do banners and posters. Both machines are not Epson for color proofs. Roland is bullet proof for banners and vinyl. HP 360 is a lot more maintanance than the Roland, a lot more. Make sure you get the right rip with PDF engine.

I confess. Sometimes I go on You Tube and watch car or motorcycle crashes. I say go for it. Just make sure you post day to day solutions you learned from your venture. I'm sure most of us are eager to see what happens. :)

Reality check. To start a business you need to know about it more than the next guy. When vendors start selling you equipment, how would you know if the equipment is in sound order or will actually do what is promised. Yes, vendors will promise you things. Things that are not true. Employees...

So when we first go our J75 we were having problems with our Fiery server. They replaced most to the components on the computer and we were still having problems. So I took the time to talk to the technicians and had them walk me through step by step of what they were doing. Initial installation...

Usually when a designer brings us 1/8" borders we charge them double. After a few jobs the borders ether go away, or they turn into 1/4" borders. Much better.

After looking into the price of the machines, maintenance, cost of running, occasional print one throw one, and the number of other printers fighting for volume on the wide format, just have it done some where else. Slap a healthy mark up, 35-50 percent, and call it a day. Pure profit. No headaches.

Save Tiffs as PDF Files. Combine the two PDFs into one single 2 page PDF. :)

After replacing the drives, mother board, new computer. Our problem was still persisting. I was working on another project, so was not able to oversee their trouble shooting and repair. Finally on the last re install i realized the las thing the tech was doing was reinstalling our profiles from...

Its a cutter. Right now the Rolland Cutter and Roland Printer are connected to PC running CC 2014. It works. But not as effective as I would like. Ideally I would like to work on my files on a Mac which run CC 2015, get them prepped, make a PDF. Then I can walk over to the Wide formate area...

Any one had any luck installing the extension in Illustrator CC 2015. I have one version running on a PC CC 2014. Tried installing on a mac and it does not show up. Contacted Roland. they tried installing it themselves with no luck. Said they would get back to me. Haven't heard any thing. Not an...

Fuji changed their service model here in Twin Cities. They went from Xerox service to MOTG service. MOTG reps don't know what they are doing. Our Xerox 700 had less problems than the J75. Can't wait till the contract is done, so I can shop around.

We noticed that when we have a PDF containing Tiff images colorized in InDesign as PMS colors, and were imposed the PDF in Firey Command Work Station multiple up, those images do not print. It does not matter if we save from Imposition as a PDF or dbp imposition. Every thing else prints, but the...

Get a Mac Server. Works like a charm.

Its actually not that hard. I find the item on my screen that I want, like a TV or a Computer, I order it, and it shows up at my door in 3D. Its that simple. Best part, the items work.
