Hi all, I stumbled across a new YouTube channel a few months ago about a chap called Dan running a shop in Pennsylvania. Got a bunch of Konica digital presses and a range of book binding finishing gear. Thought you all might find it interesting Just A Printer

Interesting discussion and I've been wondering the same as the design software is generally over both. We run a mix of PC (Data operators, sales and accounts) and Mac (Design and XMPie) because as you say, historically designers needed Macs. Myself, I went from Windows to Linux and settled on...

I have ordered and just had delivery of my Intec FB900. So far we're really happy with it. We were outsourcing a good amount of work to a local crowd with a Zund and Esko. Having the cutting in-house allows us to get jobs out the door quicker and at our quality levels. Very impressed with how...

That sounds like a worthwhile upgrade. I remember you were struggling to make a decision as on paper they seem quite similar. I'm sure in another year the'll chuck a V80 in at no charge haha. Yeah, we can do silver/gold under CMYK on the Iridesse. Creates some neat effects. In saying that, have...

Hey Simon, I haven't used a Fiery in a while as we've moved to GX on both 2100 and Iridesse but from memory rather than making a generic across the board adjustment is makes it against the specific calibration and maybe stock that you select when running the adjustments. If you set that to the...

Hahahaha fanatny rod. The wife and I rewatched all the episodes the other week and had a good chuckle at this.

Basically the same however we merge with XMPie and use the RIP to impose via a hot folder.

The GX is a Fuji Xerox development so probably didn't make it to America. I believe the Fiery on the 3100 had the edge density feature. The Iridesse is great but it definitely comes at a cost. For us worth it as we are generally producing higher margin work but we've definitely had to bend...

This is the trail edge bleed or edge deletion which I believe is due to the speed these presses are running at now. For us it was a deal breaker. Our customers noticed it and when competing against companies with Indigos we needed our quality to be top notch. When we upgraded from an 800 with...

They look interesting too. Do you have pricing on either of them? I found this one on AliExpress that looks like the Intec and has the same barcode format...

I found this feeder and output for the Versant on YouTube the other week. Asked about it in NZ but they won't be bringing it in unfortunately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq4dJFxHG2Y

In New Zealand we have the New Zealand Printer and Inky Fingers trade magazines. Print Planet is a great source for research and real world usage information. I haven't used any other forums. For me however YouTube seems be to be go to. There is generally one or two videos for most equipment...

Yep. I run a i7 "Hackintosh" as my main workstation which dual boots Win10 Pro and have a 2012 Macbook Pro at home. I do prefer MacOS to Windows. I'd had the same thoughts re Windows vs Mac in a production enviroment. Our prepress operator has an expensive 27" iMac that's now a few years old. If...

If the address block is changing positions I'd setup the different clients as layers and use visibility rules to choose their artwork and have the address block also on that layer. It's kind of risky in case someone forgets to merge each block correctly. Another option is if you can identify...

Not a hot folder solution but why don't you add the postcard art (A123.PDF) as a variable field in the data when you combine all the lists. Then set that up in XMPie as an image variable pulling in from Assets folder? You'll probably have to seperate out front and back but that's what I'd do...

That's what drove us to the Iridesse. I see it as a hybrid between the two machines. V3100 registration let us down all the time and 1000i quality wasn't as good so clients wouldn't go back to 1000i if 3100 was down. Interesting you mention the timmer. We asked how they sharpen the knifes as...

Nice! Do you have big plans for gold and silver? 2 passes with silver creates some awesome effects.

Will do. Should be running on Monday.

It does. Which from a paper path and fusing point of view is awesome. Image quality is really good. Like Versants but better I think.

Something exciting is happening over here early next week. Unpacking started Friday afternoon and 2 or 3 techs will be here Monday morning to get underway.
