We have several of the new IC-309M (monochrome for the KM1250) and IC-309 (color for the KM1070) in the field now. They're good with many new and enhanced features, and Creo is quick with patches! Couple things to watch for: Format Image Disks often--at least once/week and make sure that if...

Many of the hard-core mailers would say that generating a bar code with a font can be dangerous for several reasons, and that a true bar code-generating module should be used so the bar code is an image that can be precisely controlled. Even an inexpensive InDesign plug-in like DesignMerge...

Ha, Ha, Matt! It's a curse to have the word "Sales" in my title. No---I never play the sales guy when giving advice and also it does me absolutely no good to mislead the customer in my support role. I always give the hard facts. FOR JJUMBO: Very few new 8000's available now, or get a low-click...

We sell KM--I'm the systems, trainer and tech support guy--and as a dealer I always tell our customers that I never believe anything KM tells me unless I can prove it to myself. They say 1mm tolerance but on the 6000 (or 7000) with large, heavy coated stock and duplex that is rare to achieve...

Hey, Matt, it's Dwight. Lots of our customers use FusionPro and they seem to like it pretty well. I never hear bad things from them. It think it may be your best bet due to your budget and you'll have a lot of money left on the table for other things as you guys transition. There was a comment I...

Keep in mind the 7000 and 6000 are out. There may be dealers with some new ones still in inventory (we don't have any) and they will be very anxious to get them sold. You can probably get a better price than the new 1070, but that's all I can see as far as advantage. I do like the color better...

This is just a USB dongle key that you plug in the back, do a restart and it's activated. We are a KM dealer and I know this option should not cost you more than $5K retail. You can have your supplier quote it and tell them you know their cost is about $3500 and try to get the best price from...

Does anyone have a resource for salary data for our industry? I am asking for a raise soon and want to make sure I'm in the right ball park. It's easy to find how much a press operator makes, but I need to know for my unique position as a trainer and consultant, troubleshooter, workflow...

Call me Monday for pricing 301-675-2691. If you're considering an 8000 this will be the last call you need to make...guaranteed!

Ask your KM rep to put you in contact with their dedicated health care team. If he or she tells you they don't have one, they do. I'm sitting in a meeting with our KM dealer rep right now and just confirmed that.

This is one of those "Please stop the insanity" threads! For you "Jewelry" you're going to do this no matter what it seems even though most of us have tried to scare the beejeezus out of you. I've been in the mailing and printing business in pretty much every role from sales to programming to...

Thanks, Justin. I can find any number of stories like this on any printer I want, all I have to do is look. It's like anything...if I want to find good news I will find it, if I want to find bad news, I will find it.

Our company president did about a year of research and talked to well over 100 of our current customers before deciding to become a KM dealer and sell the 8000 as part of our offerings...yes, digital presses break down about once a week. That is the nature of these things and yes, it's the...

I'm thinking you got duped here on the price. Konica lists that bundle retail for $3400...I would check in with EFI on this.

Does anyone have a contact that could provide paid support on GMC (very old v 3.1)? Client is outputting PCL, but files always come out 8.5 x 11 even if that is not the form size. Any ideas or clues on what to look for when setting up or outputting the PCL files? They cannot get support from GMC.

Are you or anyone you know using an external RIP on a KM bizhub PRO 1200? I need to run PS files (mostly from GMC PrintNet) that use custom-size pages. Also need to split jobs and print or reprint page ranges and have control over paper-feed trays and output bins, and be able to recognize tray...

Here's the existing workflow: Generate PS files from GMC (with tray calls and custom page sizes). Pickup files with Freeflow and output on a Neuvera. Here's the desire: Push same PS files through Freeflow, but output to a KM 1200. Main concerns: having Freeflow see and be able to use the RIP...

A few more VDP thoughts A few more VDP thoughts I have 20 years in digital print and a decent VDP background. I tend to agree with "bkaupp" on using Word's mail merge feature--and the idea of jobbing this out comes to mind based on the information you gave. What you're taking on--assuming you...

Canon Imagepress C1 or Xerox Phaser 7760? I used to work for Canon, and have worked with both devices. I would go with the C1 since you say the cost is essentially the same.

Setup problem of Virtual Printer on Creo RIP (Xerox 700) Having worked with Creos and Fierys extensively, I am wondering when you say you reinstalled the Creo, are you certain the disks you used were current, and did you reload all the patches and fixes? Very often the disks that come with a...
