I've now heard from two separate Canon techs in two different states where my canon techs are saying that Canon is telling them that they're supposed to tell their customers that any paper that says HP Indigo Certified isn't supposed to be used in Canon printers. Is anyone else hearing that...

Just wanted to show and tell a little bit. :-) ChatGPT and I worked out a system for using the Fiery API and a small PHP/MySql database to create the attached dashboard. Main dashboard - What paper is currently loaded Main dashboard - How much paper is loaded Main dashboard - What paper was...

Currently we print on gummed envelopes and peel and seal envelopes. I keep getting requests for a different kind of envelope, I think they're called pressure sensitive envelopes. I'm not really familiar with them but they're like peel and seal but without the peel part. Does anyone know if there...

Our shop has a BMEU permit but as a general rule we aren't a mail house. We don't do very large mailings (usually under 1000 pieces) so we've been able to manage our mailings without specialized software or using the online tools the USPS provides for smaller operations. We have been getting...

Am I just missing this information? I cannot fathom why the fiery wouldn't record if a job was printed duplex in it's logs but I don't see anyplace for this information. If it's not there does anyone have any idea WHY fiery would choose to not record this information in the print logs? It seems...

Our shop has been using a table-top folder (Duplo DF-990A) to do tri-fold brochures but we are having trouble with it and our volume on trifold brochures has grown so we are thinking of upping our game on those. We are having to spend a lot of time cleaning the rollers and it's getting to be...

I'm getting told by our Canon Sales Representative that the v900s are rated for 250k impressions per month BUT only for 8.5x11 plain letter paper. My Math is this: That would be 125k Impressions on full sheets (at most) Salesperson says running 12x18 - 110lb or 130lb Coated media that lowers...

We aren’t necessarily in the market yet for new equipment but are in the beginning stages since our leases will all start coming up in the next few years. I’ve got one vender telling me the new “going” rate is well over $0.06 per click (nearly double what we’ve been at). So he’s giving me an...

Has anyone been able to get these to print on the newer Canon printers? We were able to print windowed envelopes on our c810 but never on the v1000. Recently we switched to running two v900s but neither one can do the windowed envelopes without wrinking them badly. I've tried a bunch of...

Our print shop in Vancouver, WA is looking for an experienced Digital Printing Production Specialist for our small but growing print shop. We are an all digital print shop (no offset). Please email resumes to [email protected] Resumes must include the following: Pay Requirements: I loathe...

Canon has officially given up trying to fix our v1000 and we are exploring replacement options. Right now our techs have recommended a pair of v900s as they have a bunch in the field in our area and say that they don't see many issues. Bonus: because there's so many in the field all the techs...

@gordo , we need a cartoon for people who send in an order at midnight and put in the notes that they want us to rush the order and have it ready for pickup at 9am.

This is my second attempt to solve this problem. Previous attempts were with Xerox printers so I thought I'd retry. I've never been able to successfully find a lamination that will stick to digitally printed vinyl sheets that is then cut out (think stickers). They always delaminate unless...

For those of you who are using Fiery, what are your default settings on this screen and why did you choose them?

We have a Duplo 618 and the magnetic guides that come with it are not very robust. Specifically the longer one for the intake tray. Additionally, the ones that came with our machine are not actually square which causes problems as the stacks raise and lower because the paper gets stuck unless we...

I didn't really have this problem before with our Xerox printers because they seemed to for the most part hold their colors with a reasonable degree of consistency. I had other problems with Xerox that were insurmountable but colors seemed to be fairly stable. If the colors seemed like they were...

Has anyone seen this before? We have two machines in our shop and the tech is saying it’s the paper and we need to toss all our paper. It’s happening on multiple paper types. Only on one machine. Only in the middle of the sheet and only on dark toner. Nothing in the print environment has...

I only know of two brands - Hammermill and Xerox. Does anyone else make it? Specifically for use in digital printers - text weight? Canon says we have to use 100% white bright paper for the image gradation adjustments. We don't normally stock either of those two brands. Obviously I can order it...

IJetColor Envelope Printer from Printware with Memjet Heads. Purchased new last year, has 44k impressions on it. Selling for $11k as-is where-is in Phoenix, AZ. Alternatively, willing to trade for a Intec SC5000 or similar machine.

Anyone have any experience with these machines? Pros and cons? Our shop doesn't really "need" one but I'd sure like to have one to play with. It really seems like just a very expensive version of a Cricut though so I'm curious if anyone is actually using this for anything on a professional...
