    Fastest way to add bleeds to a supplied PDF file.

    Hi there. Fastest way to add bleeds to a supplied PDF file. ? Hard to beat the old simply blow up by 1-2 % method. I use this about 80% of the time. (I never have had a customer notice the image was larger), but of course you can't do this when there is text/logos very close to the trim...

    Iridesse to Ricoh/Konica

    Hi Josh. I'm in a similar situation with my old V2100. Might go down the v3100i path. (sometimes better the devil you know). On the whole I've been reasonably happy with the quality of my v2100 (all though I go through 3-4 BTR's a month). It took me awhile to convince Fuji that I could fit these...

    NCR. middle sheet ok to use as bottom sheet?

    Yes, but if your using it as a replacement for the bottom sheet it won't matter as there is a writing shield anyway, Probably not a good idea to use as a replacement for the top sheet. (might affect the ability to write on with carbon on the top). ta Simon

    NCR. middle sheet ok to use as bottom sheet?

    Hi there, The title says it all. I can't see any reason why I can't use the middle sheet (CFB) as a replacement for the bottom sheet (CF) when I have to. I realise CFB is more expensive, it's just that some time I run out a specific colour in CF (carbon front) and it would be very handy to...

    Dispatching finished jobs. (carton or shrink wrap?)

    Thanks guys. Box's are expensive in this part of the would. Not uncommon to pay around $2.00US for an average size carton. Might not seem like a big deal but at the end of the financial year. we are not talking chicken feed.

    Dispatching finished jobs. (carton or shrink wrap?)

    Hi there. Interested in getting members feedback on this- We seem to be wasting a huge amount of time (and expense) sourcing the correct size cartons. (most of our jobs are couriered). Corrugated cartons are not cheap ( not professional enough using used ones and they often have printing on...

    Hi there!. Just the users guide like you have. It would be nice to have the full manual. I get my glue from "smartech" Australia. I'm in New Zealand. Not a huge number of these in this part of the world. Seems to going ok now. Gave all the internals a good clean out. FYI if the sensors get out...

    v2100 upgrade to v3100 worth it?

    Thanks guys. All very useful information. Yes the v180i (v280) might be an option. I tend to do all my finishing offline. (better for so many reasons). Yes I'm in New Zealand, no major supply issues here so far. Another concern is the fiery side of things. My fiery is getting very old on my...

    v2100 upgrade to v3100 worth it?

    Hi there. Any feed back on this would be appreciated. Desperately need a back up machine. (Techs can be very slow turning up). Currently running a Fuji Xerox V2100. (yes I know, old) My budget only really allows for a v180 or a v3100. (unfortunately my budget won't stretch to a v3100i) The...

    Is Xerox a Buyout Target?

    You might be interested to know Xerox has already been purchased by FujiFilm in this part of the world. (Australia/New Zealand). As a side issue I see you guys have been having trouble getting Xerox consumables for quite some time! I haven't noticed any problems with my v2100. I know our Xerox...

    HP N9120 Scanner wanted for parts

    Hi there. My scanner has a broken top feed tray. This is a 12year+ old scanner so next to impossible to get parts for. I know a bit of a long shot but thought I'd throw it out there. Or if anyone knows of a site I can get something like this off. I am keeping my eye one bay, gumtree, trader...

    Perforating on Horizon EF-354 folder

    Any one out there done this? Just wanted to get some feedback before I purchase the accessories required. I'm not to concerned if it takes quite awhile to set up as I'm happy to leave it as dedicated perforated. I have another folding machine. Straightness of perf, eveness of depth and...

    Stupid Question. Grain direction.

    Thanks everyone for your input. My thinking is "A" for the internal pages and "B" for the cover. (assuming of course I crease the cover) This way I eliminate the chance I'll get curl on the cover. ta Simon

    Stupid Question. Grain direction.

    It's been quite awhile since I have done any perfect bound books. A or B for grain direction. (see attached) I don't want the covers to curl when completed. Sorry! I know a real basic question, (I shouldn't have to ask). thanks Simon

    Purchasing Printing Business (digital only)

    thanks guys, all very useful stuff. I guess summing up it all comes down to ROI. Pay out a very small amount as a lump sum (more of a goodwill gesture than anything else) and an ongoing amount depending on actual sales. This way worst case scenario is I loose my initial amount and that is all.
