Did you try lowering the transfer voltage? 95%, 90%? In dry conditions we usually had to lower it.

I realize Adobe has been pretty busy the past few years, removing support for Pantone Colors and Type 1 Font support, but has anyone heard if they are planning to add multi-core support or improve performance? I am regularly working on catalogs in Indesign that have tons of high res drawing and...

We generally price it like normal, but on larger mailings will drive it to the SCF if it saves enough to pay for the trip. This seems like it gives an advantage to mailers who operate in the big cities with SCFs.

When doing bulk mailings do you pass along the discount you can get from delivering to an SCF or do you keep it?

We had all of our rebuilt last week and are in good shape except both machines needed a PTU replaced today. The tech said both were out of stock.

The only thing I don't like about the Ricoh 7200 series is the speed. Everything else is pretty good and we have never had bad supplies or trouble getting them.

We have two 9900s and a S40600. The speed and cost of printing on the S40600 is MUCH, MUCH better. The ONLY advantage the 9900s have is very high quality photo printing and they are great for running 20 lb bond maps and plans. Our S40600 is used daily for posters, banners and decals. Our 9900 is...

Oddly, the skid of 80# Gloss text we got in today, 25x38, was a couple dollars a thousand cheaper. lol

Wondered if anyone wanted to let me know if our recent supplier price increases were out of line for these times. We use a lot of 26x40 100# Gloss Cover. Last Summer we were paying $240/M when ordering a skid each month from our normal supplier. Then last November they said the price jumped to...

Since implementing our new pricing software several years back, we have gone in and tweaked different processes regularly to where everything matched our old way of doing things. While everything is looking good and our prices seem competitive on most items, 3 panel brochures and business cards...

This is crazy. We have a Colorqube 9202 and some of the smaller desktop machines, 8860s. They are very cheap to run, the quality is pretty good, but NOT laser quality, and the wax is fairly durable. We did find that some stuff we printed 10 years ago had lost almost all of it's color, so don't...

People didn't seem to be very helpful. My father said our shop had printed scratch off back in the 70s, but couldn't remember much of the details. We ended up using screen scratch off ink and printing it with letterpress. As it was a short run job, we ran it digitally with clear toner under the...

the 1st BTR rollers were well past their life and that was what was causing the problem. The service guy said they were supposed to keep an eye on it, but it got overlooked for some reason.

Room humidity for both machines is 40% and 68 degrees. The machine is question runs all coated papers, while the 7200s runs mostly un-coated. The spots on the 7210x occur on all types and weights of paper.

Recently we have been having issues with our 7210x leaving white spots in solids and halftones similar to a press hicky, but without the solid spot in the center. The shapes are usually oval and at all different angles. Giving the drum to belt transfer setting a negative number of about 6 seems...

We have a few hundred Linotype Type 1 fonts. After doing some Google searches, I can't find any info on them offering any type of free or paid upgrade options. I had read that simply converting, wasn't optimal and could cause undesirable results.

We have a couple 72xx machines and supplies haven't wavered the past few years. Everything is good.

On our semi-retired 2100, we always use the top bypass tray. We run primarily envelopes on that machine as it isn't under contract anymore. We run thousands between jams, but you definitely don't want envelopes that are too flimsy. We had some linen envelopes that were the wrong grain and it was...

Just like new cars. We always buy the Ford Extended warranty, which is around $1,800 and covers everything to 100,000 miles. With all the gadgets and tech, you can eat up more than that in just a service or two. Our old V2100 is out of contract now. We don't use it that much, but the supplies...

I have watched his channel. He just seems like an average hard working guy, but after watching more videos I am surprised at his resourcefulness. He doesn't hesitate to rip into equipment and start doing repairs. All I would be thinking, is what if I can't get my work out tomorrow and lose my...
