    CF vs CB Carbonless...

    We ended up using CFB for the top and middle sheet and all seemed to work well.

    CF vs CB Carbonless...

    I just wasn't sure if the coatings were unique or not and we didn't have time to order. They needed it today. Apparently they are unique so we are going to have to uncollate some 2-part and use that. :)

    CF vs CB Carbonless...

    We had a rush order that is White CB, White CFB and White CF. We don't have enough CF on hand and my thought was that we could just turn over the CB and it should pad to the CFB just fine. But then why would they sell CF and CB if they are the same?

    Printers Plan and customer data

    Were you using the cloud-hosted version? We have been using the local version since 2016 and it has been extremely reliable and fast.

    What settings are you using for Color Input in Fiery?

    It turned out to be an issue with our C7500 software. It has been kind of buggy and when they updated the RIP with patches the colors started acting normally.

    Does My Pricing Seem High?

    Our material costs are figured at $215 and $115 for labor. The only figure that I wonder about is the hourly rate for our inkjet.

    Does My Pricing Seem High?

    Ok. I feel like they are as well. I keep seeing the cheap prices for flatbed printing and it made me second guess myself.

    Does My Pricing Seem High?

    We have been charging this for years, but I wanted to run this by some others in the business and see what they thought. We have a client that orders signs every couple of weeks. The specs are as follows: 2 copies of 13 different designs Double Sided and Heavy Coverage 4mm Corrugated Plastic...

    Ricoh c7500 after 8 years of using a xerox versant 2100

    We had the 2100 before our 7200 and 7500s. I agree with you. We didn’t realize Xerox had so many issues until we switched to another brand. A competitor is running an Iridesse and their print quality on screens is noticeably worse. The sad part is that the Iridesse is so much more expensive.

    Banners Quote Surprise...

    As of today, I have heard zero response from Signs365. I visited with our client about some other offset work we do and noticed they had several pallets of large-format printing from Signs365. I never tipped our hand that we used them and just told her that we couldn't beat the pricing she was...

    She sent a screenshot and the pricing matched ours exactly. This was her response to my quote.

    New Ricoh Pro c7500 launches

    Hehehehe....After about a month of tearing my hair out of frustration and multiple attempts to reload the RIP hours our technician said he would have to escalate things. I contacted our salesman at that point and told him what was going on, apparently, he had no idea there were issues. Two weeks...

    Banners Quote Surprise...

    One of our largest clients gets hundreds if not thousands of banners, but we were never able to get much of their large format work. A banner here or there, but that was it. They had some staffing changes and the new person we deal with had us quote 200 3x8 foot banners for them. We got a quote...

    What settings are you using for Color Input in Fiery?

    Default didn't seem to make a difference. Bypass was the best. Oddly though, I ran another job that had PMS109 and it was way off when I chose Bypass, but spot on with my normal settings. Makes me think PMS185 may be a fluke.

    What settings are you using for Color Input in Fiery?

    This window here: I usually keep this on Gracol, but our new C7500 Ricoh which has been profiled was running a job with PMS 185C and I noticed the red looked slightly less intense than the color book. Turning this setting to Bypass Conversion made it a perfect match to the Pantone Book.

    What settings are you using for Color Input in Fiery?

    Does it make sense that I get better matches to the color chart for PMS colors when I choose Bypass Conversion???

    Copy Job Cost and Pricing...

    I pretty much write it up as being advertising. It seems like the problem customers that complain just keep coming back. lol
