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

    I have a Ricoh C5310 and occasionally will run a few schoolphotos etc off. And i'm always disappointed by the end result which tends to look a bit dull, and often a bit mottled or blotchy. I'm printing onto Xerox Colortech+ Gloss, and am selecting fiery Coated Glossy output profile. I'm...

    Calculating cutting positions w. bleed etc

    yeah i was hoping that if the imposition software knows the number of items on a page, the dimensions of the item and the bleed box etc, that it could then tell me the sequence of cutting and the measurements to use. I would expect there to be a bit of manual adjustment necessary based on...

    Calculating cutting positions w. bleed etc

    Hi all, This may sound like a bit of a dumb question but I am still very ignorant about how to calculate cutting points for imposed/ganged up items onto larger sheets. When doing something straightforward like a single image on a larger sheet not ganged up then I will do the following...

    Canon V900 frequently pausing while "adjustment" is being made

    are you certain it is all BW and there's not a sheet with a colour element sneaking in at p.25? don't know how it is on Canons but on our Ricoh C5310s the colour fusers will switch off after X amount of black only pages, and switching back on/off again entails a delay.

    Does anyone use AI within the Print Industry

    wouldn't Excel be easier for stuff like that?

    Laser stopped working on Ideal 4315 cutter

    thanks. this seems to be an immediate total failure. I'll see if i can get a tech out.

    Versant 2100 Mixed Media Speed...

    i suspect the issue here is telling the machine it is pre printed. maybe then it is switching the fuser off or letting it cool down before passing the pre-printed sheets through. you might have better luck using a post-inserter.

    Laser stopped working on Ideal 4315 cutter

    Suddenly there's no laser/optical cutting guide on my cutter and before I get an engineer out I was wondering if anyone has encountered this before?

    ricoh pro c9110 thin black line problem

    i'd bet it's the artwork that is to blame rather than the printer.

    Bringing my print in house with a KM C3070L

    IIRC the 3070L is the basic version of the 3070 which does not include a proper multi drawer paper feed and is limited in terms of finishing options. check also what RIP it has and what the limitations of that may be. if it's a bustled Fiery, they're often quite restricted. it's also pretty...

    Xerox 700 digital color press, most paper will not feed through from the high capacity feeder

    you might have more joy on copytechnet, or by scrapping the machine and getting something on a service contract.

    Ricoh C7500 - General Thoughts

    i've got two of the GBC inline punches on C5310's. They've had some issues but in general they work ok. I don't do particularly high volumes atm but it's nice not having to manually punch any more, with the exception of very thick covers and transparent plastic ones which I do offline.

    Printing issue with some complex pages - Fiery

    supposedly it's bad practice but when i have PDF's that just refuse to print my failsafes are as follows: i) export to PS then re-distill ii) convert contents of document to images. iii) and if those and all else fails, print to PDF using the Microsoft Print to PDF driver. Don't ask me how or...

    Renaming a large number of files sequentially

    https://www.den4b.com/products/renamer This product is brilliant. You can even use it to import the filenames into a spreadsheet, change them in the spreadsheet as required, and then import the updated names into it. You can do that as well just with Excel with a macro, but Renamer makes the...

    Removing stacked images from pdf without layers being used

    thanks! this is pretty much how I did it, except I told it to remove images between the concerned PPI range, rather than "remove everything except" which you did.

    Removing stacked images from pdf without layers being used

    interesting, thanks! I know in some instances people will use DSLR's on a rig with lighting to take the photos, and in some cases large machines are used which turn the pages over and scan each page automatically with the book lying down. It can get quite sophisticated.
