The color is probably matching, it is just your camera not reading the values correctly. As we all know, Pantone is right on, all the time.

We have a P5000 (small) and a P9570 (large), both with an inline spectro. And the color stays pretty consistent. The P5000 gets most of the work and also most of the repairs. I believe we have replaced one in the past 3 times under warranty. The current one has only been replaced once. Really...

Yes, we do charge for digital press proofs.

We use a variety of proofing methods for our customers. As a commercial printer, we serve a wide range of clients—business, education, government, and personal—with very different skill levels and expectations. There’s no magic bullet when it comes to proofing. It often feels less like a precise...

Is there a product here in the USA that can handle special characters and foreign language characters better than BCC and Accuzip? I know both BCC and Accuzip have problems, where they will change or delete the character altogether, and then you will have to manually fix your list after it has...

Since you are looking at firmware, maybe HP has updated the controller in the head unit. I know the first printhead we received with our iJetPro was an older head, with the older controller. They eventually sent in us a new head to fix a problem (different than yours) that we were dealing with...

I haven't run into that error before. Have you tried a complete shutdown, powering off, and unplugging the press? If that doesn't work, one of the sensors used to measure the ink may be dirty. I would shutdown the printer and then take out each ink cartridge 1 by 1, and see if there is a sensor...

I've been using a Mac since OS 6. I never thought we could do that. That is great!! But I have been using Name Mangler for quite a few years for renaming on the Mac. But the new cool thing I like about the newer OS, is the ability to 'Convert Image' and 'Remove Background' quick actions.

You might want to check out Alwan Color Expertise; they have a few products that might work.

Thank you very much, gordo. As a techy person who has been in printing in one shape or another since the 90s, this has been great. Being a techy person, I love the details, and I understand the frustration with the misnomers. I have been confronted on these points with management, sales, and...

Looks like print is dead, all the renewal stickers are at least 10 years old.

Thanks guys. I have reached out to our sales rep, and he was denied, but he tried again this week, and was able to up our limit. We also have an 8100 that has no problems getting toner. It seems that the 8300 series printers are the issue with it comes to toner. Maybe Ricoh has too many in the...

Is anyone else having issues ordering toner for their Ricoh 8320? We had this issue every couple of months since we purchased this unit from Ricoh. We go to order toner from their site, where we usually order 4 at a time, and then the site says we can't order that many. So we try and order just...

We are looking at one now. I'm curious about print head life. And what is the duty cycle? When we all talk consumables, what are they for the 1175P? I mean we know the ink and the print head, but is there anything else. We currently have two Mach 6 styles machines, and they are WAY better than...

When we were doing this, we used Windex with Vinegar. It works well.

You may have an issue with the sensor that measures the ink levels. On the carts on the end that goes into the unit, there is a "window" that shows the level of ink. It could be dirty. Or the sensor in the unit could be dirty too. Check both and clean them both to see if that helps. We've had...

The one I hated the most from our Kodak tech was "it's within spec" when referring to the backup or registration. And then he would ask if we are using certified paper.

Someone brought up the point about Quark vs Indesign, when Quark was the 5,000lb bully. Adobe had just bought Aldus RagePageMaker and Freehand. Then took PageMaker made it more user-friendly and renamed it Indesign. And it took over Quark's clunky design and useability. This is where Canva can...

I do remember ALAP. They had quite a few very good plug-ins back in the day. And I remember when Quark assimilated them. I was not happy.

We have two Mach 6 and had the Mach 5 before it. I have seen the sample pack, not a highlight of the quality that these units can do. But it does showcase the different media you can print on. Except for coated stock. And as far as black imprints, we do hundreds of these types of jobs with...
