In no particular order: 1. Service (can they fix it quickly) 2. Capabilities (does it do what you need it to do) 3. Volume (can it handle what you'll throw at it. Or will it swallow all your money)

PricelineNegotiator, you are correct. I was going off memory and I don't print 80lb gloss text very often so I just checked my CED and it's rated 11/min duplex. So to correct my math- 16 duplexed signatures x 5000 = 80,000 duplexed sheets / 11 per minute = 7,272 minutes / 60 minutes = 121 hours...

So let's do some math. 64 pages is around 16 signatures (I'm rounding down) printed two sides would be 32 impressions per magazine. Multiply that by 5,000 and you get 160,000 impressions a month. That would destroy a Xerox 700. I run a C75 and 80lb gloss text runs at about 30 impressions per...

The first time I read about this, that was my first thought. I think that is exactly where it is going to lead - customers will be able to select which mail they do not want delivered. And it's going to hurt a lot of industries. My second thought is, why would anyone want to add more crap to...

Your welcome. By the way, that error code I got was 042-323.

I had a similar issue on my C75 last night. Problem is, I am not at my shop right now and I don't remember what the error code was. I'm pretty sure it was three hundred something. I do remember the tech telling me when I called that it is related to the drum motor. He said it doesn't take much...

I'm sorry about that. When I clicked the post button, I got an error message. I always copy my posts to the clipboard in case of situations like that so I pasted it and tried again. Got the same error message. Can't remember what I did to get it to post but when I looked at the home page I saw...

Thank you so much for the help everyone! Only putting ISO lamps over the press was a great idea I never thought of. I'm the kind of person that, when a shoe lace becomes untied and I re-tie it, I have to untie and re-tie the other one. But I will put the ISO lamps over the press and those...

I apologize if this is the wrong section to post this question but I am wondering what other shops are using to light their shop. I recently moved and one of the fixtures need to be replace and I want to replace it with LED. I have been searching this forum and found a little info which lead me...

Lately, I've been wondering why we can't figure out healthcare. But what I've always felt, free market capitalism has no place in health care. It should not be operated like a business. Perhaps this is over simplification but I look at our industry or just about any other industry and understand...

You can try CorelDraw but if your like me or any other print shop, you have a PDF workflow or plugins for Acrobat. I tried switching to CorelDraw because it is $16.50/month but I didn't like how it handled PDFs plus I'd have to replace my variable data software (FusionPro, an Acrobat Plugin)...

I'd say the most important thing to consider is the service. The big three, Canon, Konica, and Xerox all have great machines for any budget. But it is pointless if there is no dealer nearby or their service network is weak or nonexistent in your area. The second most important thing to consider...

The only time my clients get a PDF proof is if we have to edit/manipulate/convert any part of their file. If it's just open and print, we don't send a proof. Mainly, for the reason Pricelinenegotiator said. Most of my jobs need to get done in two days or less. Having to wait on proof approval on...

We had a Docucolor 252 and the backside was always up by 2mm. It was normal for us to move it down in the Fiery. This was before we had SIQA. Now that we have SIQA it is easier but it seems to have trouble with 13 x 19 sheets. You have to go deep into the maintenance settings to manually tweak...

Ok, I tried CorelDraw and I didn't like it. Well, let me rephrase that. I realized how much I use PDFs and Acrobat and it will suck having to open PDFs in CorelDraw everyday. I created a document in Corel and saved it as a PDF, then tried to open it. It appeared to treat every letter as an...

Sorry, I know nothing about the Ricoh pro 5200. I would look at the specs at see which one has the most capabilities you need.

And I thought spelling errors in our industry were bad....

If you are referring to SIQA - Simple Image Quality Adjustment, then yes, it will help. It's confusing at first but once you wrap your head around it, it's easy. It doesn't do as good of a job on 13 x 19 paper but it gets it close enough that you can manually tweak it the rest of the way. But...

I still get people walking in my door asking if I do business cards.
