    Xerox Proficio Range

    The article above states that both machines will have a 5th color station. Honestly this just seems like they sat around the room and said "they aint gonna go for a Versant 380 and 5100 so we gotta give them a new name". And then an intern chimed in and said "and let's make sure we put some AI...

    Landa Digital Printing to lay off over 100 employees

    When the prices of these presses started coming out years ago I never thought it could be successful honestly. Sure it’s innovative and everything but at the price tag of these machines I think they’re more of a “show off piece” for the huge printers who have some cash burning a hole in their...

    Nuvera License Frustration

    Im not sure exactly how Xerox is “bricking” your machine. I know here in the US you can purchase a machine and as long as you have the necessary equipment to run it( I.e. RIP, finishing modules, etc) and you can run them until you can no longer fix them. Used machines are sold all the time in...

    Xerox Versant 80 Maintenance... How difficult is it?

    While im not a computer buff or wiz by any means, aren't the fiery's just rip software loaded onto a PC? So nothing about the physical components are proprietary or special by any means. I mean hell, I think brand new Fierys for X machines are still shipping out with HDD's and not SSD's. And ive...

    3-Knife Trimming - what bevel angle?

    Glad it worked out for you! It's things like this that are always hard finding info on and usually ends up being a trail and error thing. Side note on blade sharpening. We have a Challenge 20 and noticed that our blades didnt seem to come back as good as they used to from our local sharpener...

    What's everybody using for comb and spiral punching? We have a 1 year old Digipunch from Spiel that is horrible, need to replace it.

    We’ve had a Digibinder for 7+ years now and it’s been a great machine for us. I know that doesn’t help you but I wouldn’t just blanket statement the entire company because of it.

    Is the Xerox Versant 180 good enough?

    If that is the case then yes I would agree with you. When I read the OP post I took the description of "thick" as the size of the brochure. I.E. 64 pages is a thick brochure. I didnt attribute it to the paper thickness. So you could very well be correct on that. I generally dont have many...

    Is the Xerox Versant 180 good enough?

    I don't think you guys have looked at the finishing capabilities of the 180 and 280 recently. If you get the production booklet maker you can do up to 120 page booklets at 20lb. Ive done 96 page 80lb cover with 80lb text before. Lied to the machine about gsm as I believe it maxes out at 80 pages...

    Older wide format to get into photograph printing? 60" HP Z6100?

    Ok ill preface this with I have exactly 0 experience with wide format printing other than ordering some prints from a local shop when our customers need something like that. I am thinking of getting a wide format printer to be able to do photographic quality pictures and posters for a...

    Xerox 700i for Sale in Los Angeles $1500

    Well considering @Ynot_UK has been a respected member of this community for years and your this new Joe Blow who is spouting off garbage about an obsolete machine, the forum has their back. Btw, you’re probably going to have to pay someone to remove that machine. It’s about as useful now as the...

    What your recent equipment deal you've gotten?

    I saw that system add on. Looked amazing. If we did more spiral binding I’d consider it. We have 1 huge job a year and outsource it. It cost me less to buy the Rhin-O-tuff for this job at $500 than it would to outsource it. It was a deal I couldn’t pass up. The thing is a beast too.

    What your recent equipment deal you've gotten?

    I mainly just started this to brag that I recently picked up a Rhin-O-Tuff HD7700 Punch machine for coil binding. We had a large coil job coming up and with outsourcing I didnt think we would get it done in time. Hopped on trusty FB Marketplace and about 3 hours from me a guy had the punch for...

    Xerox Booklet Maker Not Jogging Well

    Is it the cover sheet that’s different? If so you can actually change the cover trim width in the nvm settings. Could be it’s slightly off. If that’s what you think it might be I can give you the nvm number for our 3100 tomorrow and you can see if it’s the same for your 280.

    Fuji partnering with Sharp?

    Just curious what this would mean for Xerox and the USA dealers. Essentially start will be offering the same products as the X dealers wont they?

    Sterling Digibinder Super Nipper trouble.

    we have a digibinder as well. I’m wondering if an air hose has maybe became disconnected? I believe the machine is driven by air and the nipper is as well. So maybe the hose is disconnected and that’s why it is not engaging? Just the first thought that came to mind since everything else is running.

    Photoshop with AI Generation

    Curious how this is going to change things up and how good it will actually be. It should be interesting for sure. https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/i-just-tried-photoshops-new-ai-tool-it-makes-photos-creative-funny-or-unreal/

    Cutter/Guillotine Blade Sharpening

    Here is what I went with. I chose it because our blades are only 24" total and it would hold it thickness and allow the arm to swing to each end. I watched a youtube video on a guy using a similar system to sharpen a guillotine blade so I figured for $50 I could see if its something that we...

    Cutter/Guillotine Blade Sharpening

    I definitely agree with you about the blade not being where it should be. I have some blades on hand that we are using for cutting while I figure out the sharpening. I also sent a few blades back to our old shop to see how they come back without saying anything to them. It could have been a...

    Cutter/Guillotine Blade Sharpening

    I actually purchased a blade sharpening system over the weekend and went to town on one of our blades. I was able to put a sharper edge on it than the current company did but its still not quite where I want it to be. but I believe with some more practice and elbow grease I can get a fully sharp...
