We have been using the VIM system for about 6 months. We are very pleased with it but this technology does have some limitations. If you are mainly producing 1 and 2 color it is wonderful. Halftones still arent up to my standards but they are getting better. If I have a form with a halftone...

I echo Rich Apollo's statement. TALK TO YOUR CONVERTER.

In offset printing lingo "M" means 1000.

It is true you can buy refill kits for the Xante toners, but, beware! We were also told this when we purchased our Xante Envelope press. My main concern was cost of consumables because Xantes figures, as far as cost per piece to print, weren't adding up. So after much research and searching...

We ued Quark for many years. Then upgraded to 7. Couldnt get it to print. Called tech support. Couldnt understand them, I guess they are located in Syria or someplace. Complained to Quark. No response. Went to several trade shows and talked to Quark about the problems. They promised a...

Dont waste your time or money. The machine is very expensive to operate, regardless of what they claim, toner is way to expensive and the drums wear out very quickly. The machine is a "MONEY PIT". We bought new and had to send it back. Tech support is "sub-par".

In my humble opinion after owning both brands of presses, there is no comparison on quality and service. Buy RYOBI. As stated earlier, they are still in business and make a quality press.

We are looking at offering mailing services to our customers. We will probably be mailing no more than 10,000 as a high end and mostly around 5,000. What programs are there that are inexpensive for addressing, barcoding etc... Dont want to spend a fortune as we probably wont use it more than...

Just want to get feedback on Fusion Pro. Is anyone using it and how are you liking it? Were looking a purchasing it for our VDP and just want some input. Thanks

To change a plate on a offset press takes about 30 seconds. It is very easy. For runs of 100 or 200 envelopes it will take about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to run on an offset once set up. You can buy a very inexpensive (as plate makers go) laser imaged plate system used and you can pickup a used...

What does your ink manufacturer suggest? Sounds to me like a big ink problem. Over the years we to have experienced drying problems with different suppliers. Also, to much fountain solution, dryer etc.. can also have a adverse effect on drying with some inks. Try switching to a well known...

I to sympathize. I dont know were all these so called Graphic Arts " WIZARDS" are coming from but when it comes to preparing a file to be offset printed, most of the so called professionals we deal with dont have a clue. Sadly, most have graduated with a degree. Would be nice if the college...

We have a QMDI Plus and recently changed the rollers out. Before changing, we have never had a toning issue. When we started our first run we had severe toning on our yellow unit. We checked temperature, blanket etc.. We retimed the machine, but nothing would get rid of it. Finally, we...

Craig we've owned one for about a year now and it has worked great. We also have a rollem mark 4, I believe, and since we purchased our 8000 we never use it. We purchased our's used. The only thing that I have had to do to it is replace the covering on the control panel. My recommendation...

Well, if it's true , Im glad someone picked up Townsend. I knew they were going out of business just hoped that it wasn't a complete shut down as far as production of parts etc. I have to agree with BillJ. In this marketplace, and any other for that matter, it would be a very poor decision on...

Several years ago we to had 2 dolev 4 press imagesetters. The #1 thing that kept them working was disconnecting the bridge and using the cassettes only. After we did that our service calls dropped way off. These machines have always been unreliable but this solution sure helped us. Good luck.

Need to clarify the one machine is a 700EX not a C model. Does anyone have info on this machine.

Has anyone had experience with either of these machines. We are not wanting to spend 100M on a new machine and the Ricoh salesman said that these 2 machines were great and would perform in the same category as the Xerox 700. Any advice would be appreciated. Mainly concerned with quality of...

Hard to beats an offset press, Ryobi 3302, Itek etc for cost per impression and there are enough pressman looking for work you could hire one or get one to train you on it. Buy an inexpensive platesetter and your up and running. No click charges, easy to run with a little practice. Very...
