If your happy with your prynergy workflow, why not upgrade the Oris to a full version to run you wide format, digital, and I'm assuming CTP. The version of Oris you currently have is no doubt the stripped down version only for that Epson. That way if you need "correct" color matching, send the...

Generally it's probably a fuser problem. It only takes a few degrees of difference to become a problem. Alternatively, have you changed any of the press chemicals you are using (fountain, wash, ink, etc...).

Maybe try storing them in flat files so they won't take up as much room as if they are rolled up? Hardcopy storage is always an issue if you have a large client base.

It doesn't burn the blanket, the imaging unit gets a "memory". A laser is used to write the image, consisting of charge particles. The drum will develop a memory (ie: stay charged) after many static impressions. The same thing happens on laser copiers and printers. With the DI you image a set of...

I'm in Hawaii, the problem is keeping the humidity OUT!! :) I have de-humidifiers set at 40% running in the stock room 24/7. I'm lucky to keep the press room at 60%.

A separate RIP is always nice, and the firery will help with job control, accounting, and maintaining a consistent print month after month. The biggest trouble I've seen with using the internal engine is color drifting over time, as there really is t that great of calibration. So in 6 months...

Thickest it can run without any modifications is 12 point. (0.012 in.)

I have had a 9659 for many years, and it prints on most any stock, except for Mohawk 100# cover. You will never be able to fix the envelope embossing issues as they are caused by roller pressure in the fuser, and it's not adjustable. The paper thickness settings change the speed and heat if...

Depending on what type of photopolymer plate you are using they typically range from 90 to 133 line screen, or roughly 1200 to 1800 dpi. You would need to work in this range to get a good image. If you set the printer at max resolution, and then send it a photoshop prepared file that's, for...

Yes, those are for a specific medium, but something like a UV curable ink would be good for this application. Kimotech uses a UV curing unit on their inkjet platesetters, so I'm sure something could be created. As a side note, does anyone know what the large inkjet web presses use for ink and is...

Keith, I am so glad I am not the only one to have issues with inkjets and water. Not to be down on anyone, but this topic seemed to miss the fact that inkjets are not water safe, and it's not acceptable for it to run. Whenever I see a new ink technology, I always wet the printed piece, and the...

10.4 was backwards compatible with 10.3 and largely 10.2. 10.5 saw a large change in the kernel and OS, as well as the start of 64 bit support. 10.6 was the completion of the 64 bit upgrade. Most apps have requirements that 10.5 be a minimum, which I don't think is unreasonable. Yes, 10.4 works...

It was mentioned that your city water supply was recently changed to well water, which can have a higher mineral count that river water. FC1000 in Crestlines is a good overall system, I use it personally myself. If the new source of water is "hard" with more minerals, that might be causing your...

If all your current volume is black and white, and you are not adding significant color volume, I would suggest you get a new large black and white machine, or maybe two smaller black and white machines, and that color machine on the side. A black and white click charge on a black machine will...

You are quite right in regards to still needing correct color profiles. I have used many of HP's wide format printers, and they do have "on-board" color adjustments, or so they claim. From my experience, they have an optical sensor that tries to determine the type of paper, and what densities...

According to Adobe, I would think Illustrator is right. PANTONE colors don't match in Illustrator and Photoshop However, looking around online I found varying values: 11 86 98 2 0 80 94 1 I also found out thats the PMS equivalent of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the bridge specs say 0 69 100...

The major problem with inkjet is that the inks are not water stable like laser or offset. If they used a UV curable ink or something similar it would be ok, but it's very common for printed pieces to get wet, although not usually intentionally. Mail gets wet because it's raining. Someone sets a...

Okidata 9650 can output up to 13"x40", and there are also some Xerox and Toshiba copiers that can do this as well. If your only doing 200 at a time, the Okidata may be worth a look.

When you look at purchasing any type of printing equipment, you need to have a good idea of what print jobs you curretly run, and what you might want to run in the future. This determines what type of press you will need. What types of paper stocks do you currently have printed? If you require...

A QR code stores several thousand characters of data. A 1D barcode (code 39 for example) only has an alphabet of 43 characters, and does not include a colon, so could not encode a URL. It can encode plain text, but the barcode would be very long. QR Codes Explained Code 39
