    Buy a inkjet garment printer with price about 5000$

    I have a Belquette Mod 1. It works well and their support is great. We used to have a kiosk2 and this is so much better. It's also a few thousand less then the one you listed above. I would recommend checking out t-shirtforums.com. They have a lot of information about dtg printers. I don't think...

    Canon 7000 vs Ricoh 901s

    can't comment on the canon but we just bought a 901 from Ikon with the creo rip, large capacity stacker, and plockmatic with trimmer and square fold option. We were coming from a konica c6501. We've only had it about 3 weeks but so far I like it. The square fold option on the plockmatic is...

We are always able to match colors to previous jobs no matter how long its been. It...

    Running 70# Gloss Text on Konica Minolta c6501

    Is it jamming in the fuser? I had some 80lb jamming in the fuser and I went in to the paper settings menu and lowered the fuser temperature and if fixed the problem. I forgot the exact menu name but its the one with all the process control stuff after you go to the paper settings menu. Also set...

    Variable Imposition

    just use the cut and stack option on the creo. it will do exactly what you want. You would be better off using a variable data format like vps but it will work with the pdf, just take a long time to process. Also you might be better to group your records into smaller batches to print. It will...

    Udirect vs DesignMerge

    Does anybody have any experience using both of these two programs and can recommend one or the other. I've been able to find much more information on Udirect then DesignMerge. I have used Udirect a little 4 -5 years ago but don't know what has changed since. On XM Pie's website it lists for...

    How about SD 506?

    I have the sd506 on a c6501. It seems to work well. It can handle just about any paper combo and any number of pages you would put in a saddle stitched book. I have had a few issues with the trimmer portion of it that my tech struggled with for a while but we seem to have most of it straightened...

    College Printing Program Troubles

    Shane, Your college education is all what you make of it. Anybody can just sit through the classes and get the degree but you only learn if you apply yourself. Push to learn the things you want and when go talk to department heads and professors to tell them what you want to learn remember you...

    Challenge Titan 200 blade stuck

    Hi, I just bought a used challenge titan 200. It was working good when I bought it but now after having it shipped and getting it hooked up at my location the blade gets stuck on its way down. It comes down about and inch and then seems like it hits something and won't come down any further...

    Printing names onto plastic name badges and elastic materials - equipment required?

    If you want plastic name badges pre printed that you can add a name to later you can get screen printed plastic blanks then engrave the name later with either a rotary or laser engraver. You want to use engraving plastic such as romark or ipi.

    KM 6501 envelope printing?

    I print envelopes on mine all the time from tray 5. the trick is get your tech to turn off double sheet detection then run them with the flap open with the bottom of the envelope being the lead edge. Remember you will have to set it as a custom paper size on the machine. Works great with regular...

    Canon 7000VP Yellow Dots

    That does not sound like the yellow dot pattern. I think you have something else wrong with your machine, maybe a defective drum or something. I'm not a tech so I don't know for sure, but I've seen problems like this before on other machines and its always a quick fix for the tech. Your tech...

    Choosing an entry-level digital printer machine

    I'm in western NY. I think the whole model line has issues. This wasn't unique to our machine.

    Choosing an entry-level digital printer machine

    The Ricoh machine is completely the wrong way to go. It can't print any solids on any uncoated paper. I had the c700ex (same machine but faster) as an in house demo and it was awful. Ikon had the c550ex in their demo room and it had the same problems. Look at the attached file. It is the pantone...

    Ricoh's Ikon acquisition

    That's funny. I was considering flipping a coin between the two today since I can't come up with any good reason to choose one over the other.

    Konica Minolta c65hc

    I did look at the c900. I am not able to get one. The closest dealer is ikon and they are about an hour and a half away and told me they couldn't sell me one because they don't have enough techs trained on it to cover that far from their office. I did test a ricoh c700ex from them and it was an...
