I am curious- is anyone here using Windows 11 in their printshop and how is the experience? I'm sketched out for a bunch of reasons on changing to Win11, including that most of my workstations aren't compatible. I just had to modify the registry for one of my machines to stop Windows 11...

A lot of the Versant maintenance and troubleshooting is straightforward and I think the V80 has sufficient parts and consumable commonality with the V180 and V280 for you to be able to self maintain for a while. HOWEVER, if your region is plagued with bad fuser belt assemblies, 2nd BTRs, and...

If your 2nd BTR part number starts with 607, see if you can get one that starts with 859. The 607s are an older iteration that doesn't last as long, but for some reason are still getting shipped here and there. I got a couple this summer and they'd start making a mess within a week.

I'm not familiar with those products, but if you don't get the answers you need here try signs101.com- it is more wideformat focussed.

adriansto is solid!

This guy eBay frequently lists Fiery installer CDs. I don't know if its legit or not. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=273381254005&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211&_ssn=langrafix-com

I've been running the Duplo control panel software on Windows 10 mostly without issue. The software stack is ancient and uses RS232 (think old school serial ports) emulation over USB, so if you are running other RS232 emulators for another product on the same PC, you might have issues with...

Looks like excess toner is getting accumulated. If this was a Xerox digital press, I'd change or vacuum out the IBT cleaner and consider changing the 2nd BTR.

I've had some bad experiences with Mutoh and would not buy from them again. Your mileage may vary. Signs101.com is a more wide format focused forum so you might ask there too.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of getting a C7500. We don't do a lot of synthetic, but I wouldn't want to turn away those jobs. Does the C7500 have controls adjusting transfer voltage, current, etc for a particular media? Does synthetic brick in yours from static? We've been using Kelley...

Agreed. Have you come across video courses or books on understanding paper?

Pretty much. I have the envelope bracket, but these envelopes weren't feeding reliably in Trays 6 and 7.

The air feed drawers on mine constantly double feed with 176gsm/67# cover uncoated and some envelopes. With #9 and #10 envelopes it can also be a hassle getting the stacks to the right height and angel so they feed at all.

Versant 3100, but this may be applicable to more Xerox hardware. We just discovered that fanning envelopes before feeding into Tray 5 greatly decreases double feeding with difficult envelopes. Hope Santa gets me an envelope feeder for Christmas 8)

my bad. Skimmed it.

Let us know how it goes. Canva bought Affinity btw.

Where do you get your Ricoh parts?

Just a Printer youtube channel talked about his IQ 501. He doesn't seem to think its worth it for his workloads. I forget which video.

V3100 here. I'm chronically frustrated too. I'd lean towards Ricoh equipment next based on available service options in my area.

Boggs Equipment might be able to sell you a maintenance manual or point you in the right direction. You might also try asking the manufacturer.
