I think the controller question is really about the in-house attitude regarding change. With Hikari there will be a learning curve for the operators, some workflow concepts must be revised, rethinked. On the other hand, Hikari will be better integrated in the long run. IMHO Konica will...

Anybody has information about what CMYK Pantone is referring to? I think Pantone defines its colors in LAB, nowadays. 158C is 64, 44, 63. If I convert it to certain CMYK color spaces I get the following values: FOGRA 39: 1, 63, 90, 0 SWOP2006 Coated v3: 1, 63, 97, 1 GRACOL 2006: 1, 64, 92, 0...

I have a quote from last summer for a similar machine. It's around 20K GBP.

There is a small door on the right upper side of the machine, which you can open by removing the screws which hold it. Behind it there is a computer board with various modules and SMD parts. The controller in question is a removable module like a memory bar in a conventional PC. You can...

I've done that comparison circle five years ago. Back then KM was the least shiny, the most 'offset-lookalike'. That said, on matte paper there is no match to an Indigo. I would do a small survey among strong customers about the viability of toner press production. If they reject it up front...

Please post a sample.

There is a complete solution for that by Epson, if you own a professional printer. All is managed on a web portal: http://recycling-epson.cycleon.eu First, you have to register on the portal, then you can order a box for the exhausted cartridges & waste boxes. When the big blue box is almost...

Ours might be a very different market than yours, but we occassionally see such deployments here, in Eastern Europe. And no, the click charges are not higher on these contracts than on normal contracts. What I understood at these sites are that a.) the supplier was desperate, had some kind of...

We've just switched from Fiery to Hikari (as KM call their own solution). After some weeks of use all I can say that I'm impressed! The KM solution can do all the Fiery is able to do, and you don't have to use the sluggish (Java-based) Fiery Workstation software. The KM solution can be accessed...

Back in the old days when inkjet proofs were catching up, we had the same problem at the print room. "What are these dots in the yellow, cyan?" But eventually pressmen started to realize that the color was indeed good, no matter how it was constructed. As Steve Suffoletto said, proofs are meant...

IMHO there are two sides of that coin. If you're an IT administrator who needs to take care of a lot of machines at the company, your life is certainly easier when MacOS rules. It's just easier to manage, and average users can't break it just by downloading some malicious files. I see companies...

The thing with the lamination is that (I believe) you already found the supplier with the right foil, and you found out the best temperature to fuse (on the C1070) and to laminate, too. So this advantage of the C3080 only 'counts' if you need versatility: lamination on a lot of different...

First of all, please consider NOT replacing the trusty "old" C1070. If you don't print that much, why would you replace it? Don't fall for the sales guy's push and BS. The KM C10xx line is a very mature family of printers, it will be hard to surpass it's stability, reliability and...

Using line screens usually help in these kind of problems. On Konica machines there is a function to overcome the problem – it's a special setting buried somewhere deep on the engine UI.

Generally, you have to break down the process to steps, building upon each other as you go along the way. First, you have to achive a proper calibration to target densities (or target LAB values) on the selected substrates (an average, widely available low-OBA coated stock on your market for...

Must be a beast. You have to have a lot of BW jobs to justify the price, though.

What you are asking about is definitely possible, please take a look at this thread: https://www.colorprintingforum.com/threads/inkjet-metal-ctp.4694/ What I heard is that the only serious limitation is the actual hardware resolution of the device used, which is 1440 dpi in case of an Epson...

Well, I respect Enfocus to dutifully testing their systems against the new versions of every OS. Because that communicates (at least for me) that we're in the same boat. We both would like to produce something which can be sold for profit. On the other hand, let's think about what drives Apple...

Another driver to unneeded updates is Adobe. I remember we were forced to update past El Capitan to use InDesign 14 or higher. Some companies getting fed up with all that, though. Eg. babelColor's developer states that their next releases will not be compatible with future versions of MacOS, if...

Check the air pressure and the air cooler. The system has a fairly large tolerance for inconsistencies in the air supply, but results of insufficient air eventualy will show up like you've described. Also, check if it's happening with EVA too? If not, then your type of PUR glue might not fit for...
