    Versant 180 Toner Issue

    I'd still say it's the fuser, might be too far gone for the cleaning operation to completely clear it off. There is a cloth on the cleaner which might need to be replaced.

    CMYK Colour Confusion - Adobe Output Preview

    I'm no colour expert either so this is the blind leading the blind until someone with sight arrives. Is the clients logo originally CYMK, not RGB. When this happens to me I end up running the preflight and then taking the converted colours as an easy work around.

    Versant 2nd BTR Metal Roller

    We had our V80 for 8 years wondering if they'd ever resolve the issue. 3rd gen machine and still not fixed is mad I think.

    Can you tell if the .dbp jobs that disappear are "Processed" or "Spooled"?

    Konica 12000

    I know nothing about Konica but in command workstation when you hit ctl+alt+c (or server then calibrate in the menu) does the fiery calibrator have the IQ listed as a measurement device along with the spectrometer?

    xerox v180 paper setting

    The streaks on the back mean the 2nd btr needs replacing. Common problem on versant 80/180/280. Have a search round this forum and you'll see plenty of articles. If you have a service contract just ask them to replace it or you can do it yourself as very simple.

    Xerox (Versant) 2nd BTR streaking marks work around

    To be honest I didn't do it for long. I really just ended up keeping multiple spares on site and replacing it more often. If I was running NCR I'd throw an old one back in if I'd recently replaced it. Literally have the change time down to 2mins. I've found same with the refurbished versions...

    Sleeking Queries

    Came across this video on sleeking. Explains all very well and some tips etc. At about the 13min point they explain depending on the stock they run anywhere from 4 to 50 layers of black toner before sleeking! I thought that must take forever until I googled that the Indigo press they use can...

    Versant 280 Alignment Range, specifically skew

    This is where I am now, the Register Paper Feeding Positions (RPFP) corrected the skew so I can adjust that now in both directions but it's maxed out the side to side on certain stocks. The print registration is bang on throughout the jobs so I think I need to get them back to test the base...

    Young shop expanding services

    I'd recommend this, you'll need to find an out of school designer who may be interested in developing their printing knowledge. An experienced designer will only be interested in a full time graphic designer position, and would need to be paid accordingly.

    Young shop expanding services

    So you want to hire a graphic designer to operate printing presses and pay them a low operator wage plus commission? Alot wrong with that idea. Sales people get commission to encourage them to make more sales, why would a press operator take a low wage and get commission?????

    Versant 280 Alignment Range, specifically skew

    Thank you TJPrinter. Just got in the shop and ran that Register Paper Feeding Positions and it appears to have fixed it. My adjustment parameters are still the same on the skew but the adjustment needed is pretty much in the centre point of each so plenty of range to move either direction...

    Versant 280 Alignment Range, specifically skew

    I think you're right with the feeder misalignment. The calibration sheet is wildly off, to the point of the crosshairs in one corner are slightly off the edge of the sheet. When they installed it I had to take the showroom feeder for the first two weeks before my new one arrived. I don't...

    Versant 280 Alignment Range, specifically skew

    Hi, Recently got a v280 installed and having trouble with skew. Working on new alignment profiles as we progress through different stocks but have got stuck with a 300gsm gloss SRA3. Basically when I run the SIQA one side is straight but the other still needs more Skew. When I check manual...

    Versant 280 Versions

    No clearer but just to add, we got a 280 recently (in Ireland and no performance/ASRS options) and when I go into CWS - Device - General Info ours is listed at the very top as VP280 - V.3.0

    Sleeking issues

    I find the temperature is key, a few degrees too hot I get random specs across the sheet, too low and it doesn't melt the toner enough. Very fine balance in my experience. I'd also recommend starting as soon as your laminator is up to temp, don't let it sit there.

    KM C4065 vs Xerox PrimeLink C9200

    Something seems strange, you're either getting a bargain on the KM or being ripped off with the Xerox. Have Xerox offered any pricing on the V280 (would need 32amp)?
