I could do this, but I would rather not buy an extra license at this moment. I plan on getting a complete cs3 or cs4 package, but in about half a year. This week I'm getting a used machine (for cash) on an FSMA contract and I really need to watch my spendings.

I'm looking for something really basic (and free if possible), that could help me with simple imposition tasks. For example a stand-alone program that I could just throw in some business cards in a pdf format and print them out quickly. I'm asking about this because I don't want to bother my...

Hi, I have quite a lot of orders (mainly invitations and stuff like that) where I could really use a machine that folds sheets, slides them into envelopes and packs them. The optimal thing would be to have a color machine that can print out different sizes and print on envelopes so it would be...

I have the adobe programs etc. and a simple CRM, but I was thinking of some kind of solution that would be an all in one system for running an offset/digital printing service. Something that would be key in setting up for the internet. We are having a bit of a problem with managing work in the...

I was wondering what software or internet solutions you just couldn't imagine not having in your company now? I'm asking because we're thinking of ways to improve our workflow and customer management, and maybe there is something we haven't thought of yet.

could anyone please give me an estimate of the price? the price for a Konica Minolta C6501 would be great too.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here knows more or less what it would take to get the Okidata printer working on thicker stock. I know it won't be an Ilumina (that was just for the thread title ;)), but I was wondering how I could play with the machine to tune it up a bit. It's a used machine...

from what I've seen the prints from oki/xante machines are much more glossy. The xerox stuff I've looked at has been of a better, more professional quality.

I'm interested in this too. I read somewhere what they do more or less with the machine, but I can't find that thread now. Not sure if it was on this board or another. I did some testing today with 350gsm and it went perfectly. Is this kind of stock safe to use in the long run?

thanks for the tips :) I'm going to use this machine for everything digital for a few more months until we are able to get a KM or Xerox. The thing I was wondering about, is if it's possible to fix the machine to handle thicker sheets. Maybe not as much as the xante illumina, but maybe over...

Yeah, I've noticed the drums usage % going down fast as well. I did some diplomas today and they all went down 2%. I think I wouldn't earn much if this was my main income :) Luckily we print on this machine mainly to keep our offset customers from going to the other printers with small jobs...

I actually already have the printer. I got a used one to get short runs of business cards, diplomas, greeting cards and maybe some brochures etc. The thing is, this machine uses a lot of ink from what I've seen so far and the cost of a single print is very high. Compatibles would be a good...

I would like to ask a few questions about this printer. Among other things I would like to know if anyone here has tried refilling toners.

Hi, we've been running our offset business about 15 years now and just recently started in the digital world :) Because of the bad economy we were forced to wait with our plans of buying a Konica Minolta or Xerox and got a cheap used OKI C9800 for cash instead. It's being used basically only for...

The Xerox 252 costs more than a Konica Minolta 5501 in America? Does anyone have any price charts for different Xerox and KM models in the US?

the Xerox is slightly over 2/3 of the price

Can anyone please tell me what the prices are for these two printers in America? They don't have to be exact, just more or less. I got two offers in the UK and there is such a difference, I was wondering if the same is in the US.

this is going to be interesting :) how about some files with photos, images etc. that would give a nice indication of what brochures, postcards could look like on certain printers? thanks for the help :)

yes, I know. I have a few of my own files, but I really need stuff that could point out the major flaws of the certain printers, so I don't get any big surprises later on :)

I need some files to test a few digital printers I'm interested in. Do you guys have any that would be good for this? I'm looking at some used machines tomorrow: KM C500, C5500, C6500 and Xerox 240, 250. The guy told me to bring some files that I would like him to print out.
