    Bell & Howell Inserter with Muller Accumulator Folder Problems

    Update on this. We got the 023 error sorted by removing the encoder and giving it a good clean. We're now trying to find the LED's that drive the double detect sensor and feeder paper height senors hoping that'll help. Still no lick on diverter. Would anyone have any ideas on potential service...

    Bell & Howell Inserter with Muller Accumulator Folder Problems

    Hi all, Last year we purchased a used Bell & Howell B900 Inserter with a Muller Cut Sheet Accumulator Folder. The inserter itself is pretty good aside from an issue with the diverter bin but we've been having some issues with the folder. Does anyone have a contact ideally in Australia or New...

    Customer address list cleanup

    Great topic Keith. Something that we've struggled with for a while. We do quite a lot to the data to make it ready for mailing. In New Zealand we have a process called Statement of Accuracy where the data is validated against the master list of addresses in the country. I assume this is the...

    How do you name files?

    On our server our job bags are grouped by year Year / CustomerName / JobNo - JobName / Our custom build MIS software creates the customer and job folders automatically which saves a lot of time. Inside that folder is depending on the job - Supplied - Artwork - Proof - Data - Data to use -...

    Fuji Xerox... anyone know much about the new press?

    I knew about this a few months ago (signed a NDA and all) and it does look interesting. I'm hoping for Versant 2100/3100 image quality but with the build quality and alignment ability of the 1000i. 120ppm and 6 colour with the ability to have White/Gold/Silver + CMYK +...

    Versant 180 Installed

    One of the bonuses we've found of using a PDF workflow that I haven't seen mentioned yet is you have a locked down "final print" version of the artwork that is nice and quick to view on any machine with a PDF viewer rather than opening InDesign or Quark to check something. Also, if you are...

    Images cleaner looking.

    We usually have to go lower rather than higher on the transfer adjustment. Most of our heavy weight stock are between 60-100%. We have a Versant 2100, 800 and 1000i.

    Ricoh 7100/9100's - Your impressions and vs Xerox CP 800/1000's (Also Indigo? Canon?)

    Hi Urville, Unfortunately I can't help with experience on Ricoh machines however we've had issues since moving to Fiery on a 1000i and V2100. Ours was with trail edge bleed or edge density as I've now heard it called and can be resolved by settings on our new GX Server (made by Xerox) on V2100...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    Thanks AP90. I'm gutted that it didn't work and bamboozled as to how some people are loving their 1000i's. I had a quick look as per your images above in the post but it doesn't look like we have the heavy stock baffle installed. Did you notice it on the trail edge of text and halftones or...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    Hi everyone, We're still battling through this problem with 1000i, Versant and now our old 800. As you'll remember multiple print samples went to Japan and we've just heard they came back with "it's no problem every toner based digital press does it". After an ultimatum Fuji Xerox came to us...

    Electric Round Corner Cutter

    Hi all, Has anyone had any experience with the Chinese round corner cutters? We've got a hand cutter at the moment but quality and speed are not it's strong point. We've found 2 on AliExpress but worried that on one of them the product photos show some very average cutting. These are the 2...

    Presort Software and Unicode

    Not an ideal solution but once you get used to it shouldn't add too much time and no expensive Personal Effect licence needed. Append a unique ID to each record (if not already there). Run your data through Presort Upload original and presorted data to MS Access or MySQL as 2 tables. Query...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    Hey Command-P, Nope, no update. The 1000i still has the issue and our old 800 has been reinstalled. The 1000i is only getting overflow work and gold/silver jobs as the 800 print is far superior. Haven't heard anything from Xerox on the issue since our 800 went back in. Another company in our...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    Thanks Command-P. The Versant is holding up well. Once we got over the matte print and after seeing the 1000i the trail edge bleed isn't that bad. Still on some jobs we see it but now everyone else is having the same issues it's become a bit more acceptable plus we're always pushing to get the...

    Xerox 1000i installed!

    Hey AP90, Great to hear your 1000i is good. Ours is a dog and we're finding it very difficult to get a good print off it compared to the 800. We've actually yesterday been delivered our old 800 to setup next to the 1000i as Fuji Xerox cannot seem to figure out what's wrong. We've had 2 1000i's...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    We're seeing it on 150gsm-350gsm both SRA4 and SRA3. Changing the direction of the sheet just changes which edge the dot drop off appears on. Apparently samples have been sent off to Japan so we'll see what happens. Right now our 2100 is processing 75% of work with jobs being rejected off the...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    We had a play with all those settings yesterday and tried 200 dot and line. Ran my test sheet out swapping out each of the text/graphics enhancement or text/graphics quality settings. Calibrated for 200 dot then ran all those samples and then recalibrated for 200 line and ran those samples. They...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    It's tricky to see on that. Is the bottom of the image the trail edge? As you can see in the following pic (not through a loop just zoomed in) the fade is easily noticeable on right hand side on 1000i print. The other 2 were old jobs run on our 800. Looks like quite a different dot but both...

    Xerox 1000i Trail Edge Bleed (blurry print)

    60% K was actually the worst and can easily be seen with the naked eye. You can download my test file here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3002/Xerox1000i/Text%20Test%20-%20Trail%20Edge.pdf
