    Ricoh 9200 skewed

    No click contract makes a huge difference. The fact that the issue follows 1 unit between 2 machines really narrows down the parts need but that does not make it cheap. I can't help with internal components of the registration unit, Sorry and good luck.

    Is there a profitable B2 digital press

    Paid employees but only 1 shift on the Komori. With our current press/plate processor being paid off and only around $400 plate cost leaves $600 on a 20,000 digital run ($.05/click). Obviously with the press/prepress being paid off, I'm skewed on the low side of the bar. The call to go digital...

    Is there a profitable B2 digital press

    I am a small offset commercial printer. aging out of our old Komori 20x26, everything else is already digital. As far as short run press work how many sheets/clicks are need to profitably change to a bigger digital press? How long of a static run does press definately beat digital? I have both...

    Ricoh 9200 skewed

    Every digital unit has some skew or stretch because of the heat affecting the paper. My Ricoh 9210 is a huge improvement over any canon or KM I've had. I don't see that as the issue here with 2 machines in close proximity 1 runs, 1 skews and you swap the registration unit AND the problem...

    Fiery Printer Logs - Is Duplex missing?

    It is counting clicks not dividing? two sided is 2 clicks 1 sided is one click it doesn't count flipping a 1 sided sheet that can be controlled by the user to exit print up or down. It's defaulted down to keep jobs in print order post fuser anyway. If you use division your final count on odd...

    Buying Ricoh Pro Press and Guillotine Cutter

    I would think it unusual for a business to accept that a production machine could be down for a week, but if that's your case go for it.

    Buying Ricoh Pro Press and Guillotine Cutter

    A Trusted reliable service tech is essential. Independent while costing less than a established company; does he have backup for illness or vacations? Knowing the click charge on every sheet you sell isn't possible when your paying for every part that is going to wear out. Much less calculating...

    I am in michigan have a few Ricoh production is there anything better and less expensive

    As it's your first post and you have 2 9210's what is your opinion on them? I love mine. I have an older canon c75 that compliments/backup my ricoh 9210 that still does a good job. You will see lovers and haters of every make and model printer on here. I've had 5 color printers over the past...

    is it unrealistic to expect good photo prints out of a CMYK digital toner press?

    Can't sell laser prints as photos or "photo quality" but I've produced alot off our ricoh 7210 and Canon c750 before that. playing around with settings like suggested above 95% brightness and I usually raise the magenta and yellow to help the fresh tones. I've learned all files are different but...

    Canon V900 frequently pausing while "adjustment" is being made

    External environment affects this is the room colder that in the summer maybe the fuser is coming back up to temp? I believe all lasers do this to some extent and just lowering the gsm isn't always the answer match the paper to the proper settings. I think that line of copiers has an advanced...

    ricoh pro c9110 thin black line problem

    The black dots looks like screening from a color separation of a picture. Open the file on screen zoom way in and I'll bet the dots are there. You could also type the letters (same font size) define them as the same color as you printed the sample and print with the same settings, paper, and...

    ricoh pro c9110 thin black line problem

    "have a very thin shadow leave behind,"? please define this better. I think he is referring to the screening behind the text in the middle of the image. It's an image and not really saved as text that's the backround when the image was created or art scanned. How does it looko at 100% and not...

    HP Fi-1000 Ink bulk Continious system

    The link for more information about the pre-coater, does not work. Do you have any details on it? Does it allow inkjet to print onto standard offset coated stocks?

    Canon imagePRESS V1000: a year of repeatable issues, “within spec”

    Having both a canon (c750) and ricoh 7210 next to each other, calibrated daily with the same handheld spectro, here are some of my thoughts. Calibrate as to manufacturer training and procedure. If they didn't teach you at install, have them come back. Why would you create your own? How do you...
