Hey Si! Yes, nice to see another Kiwi on here. We have no issues at all getting credits out. We had one instance where they were not applied and we contacted our rep who got the credited immediately. Whether you're a big or small business not getting clicks back in an already ridiculously cheap...

If it could be changed that'd be an amazing bonus. We've got a few customers that use Clear but not enough to justify keeping it where we'll be (albeit initially) on of a couple with gold and silver.

We've been told it's one or the other as you'd need to bleed the lines to clear out toner (not sure of exact terms). I hope you're right though. Have you got that in writing? Or maybe a PDF brochure you can send me. I think Xerox in NZ have just been told about the machine so have no material yet.

Fair call. Already having an 800 I know what to expect from 1000. Haven't seen physical samples of gold or silver only pictures however that's such a small part of the machine, right. Seen Versant samples and went to fancy launch event. Quite impressed with the flat print. I guess I meant I'm...

Today we signed the paperwork for a new Colour 1000 with Gold & Silver (to replace a Colour 800 with clear) and a Versant 2100 (to replace an aged DocuColour 8000). Versant will be installed in the next 2 weeks I hope but C1000 will be installed in Feb. Excited to see what these machines can do!

@pippip - That's the same machine we sent back. Was very unhappy with it and from what you've said it could have been worse if we'd have had a working one! @realrdp @NPS - looks like a interesting machine. Will see if we have any local distributors.

Hi there, Our old GBC Eagle laminator has just given up the ghost. Got 3 years out of it so best $150 I ever spent. We ordered a GMP Surelam III but had temperature issues with the first and second machines before we told them to get it out of our shop. Attached you'll see the temperature...

I've got a Xerox 800 and run both 400gsm Silk Matt (400 micron) and 400gsm Uncoated Board (450 micron) through it fairly frequently. When you are running these heavy stocks grain direction is very important. We often have to trim down to SRA4 and feed short edge. Our old 700 made an awful noise...

On our CREO RIP for Xerox 800 we can do this. In Imposition you'd choose booklet then set your final trim size, gutters, margin and add crop marks. This would create the crop marks at 8.5x11 and leave the extra as bleed.

That's not what I was hoping to hear. Was hoping that it'd be like monitors where they all come from the same factory. Might be worth ordering a set and seeing how they run before talking with OKI reseller.

Thanks for the reply. We've been under for click cost for 3 years and I don't believe there was a term as we purchased the machine outright. The reseller would probably like to get out as the genuine consumables aren't lasting their full life so it's costing them more money. I thought...

We're using an Oki C9850 with straight shooter for envelope printing. Our click charge is $0.15 per print which works out to be the price to cover the cost of 2 sets of toner, 1 set drums, 1 fuser and 1 transfer belt over 30k impressions. I've found some compatible toner out of China that is...

That's good to hear. I assume all versions would use the same driver so it was possibly something with their test client machine. It wasn't using acrobat to print the PDF so hopefully that. I agree. The machine does a superb job for the price. We'll be lucky to have both options available so...

Have you had any issues with vectors inside PDF's dropping information through the RIP? 3 samples I ran had full vector graphics fall or parts of logos fall off. The big green icon on the sample I posted was meant to be at 10% opacity but it couldn't recognise it either and ran at full strength.

Wish we had them here! Glassine is awful and still creases through the OKI. The OKI is a toy compared to the Xerox 800 however I don't think it could be run any cheaper especially when the components aren't lasting as long as they should. We did buy it outright however we pay a click for toner...

The comments are excellent. Thank you all. Our OKI is on a maintenance contract which costs us 5x more than your figure. We've looked at taking it off click however with the magenta drum only lasting 1/2 it's life I can't see how we can make it work. To be able to run standard window envelopes...

Hi all, We had a demo of the Astrojet M1 this morning at our local distributor. Demo didn't go overly well as their was a issue with one of the nozzles which was leaving black splodges on the print. However what we did see we liked. The speed is great and the quality higher than expected. I...

We run pre-perfed paper most days on our Xerox 800 with no issues at all. Just need to make sure that the perf is facing the same direction on all sheets when feeding - for us we have the raised side down. The stock we use is a 100gsm uncoated SRA3 which we get perfed by a diecutter on a cylinder.

As an alternative check out Quite Imposing which works as an Acrobat plugin. It can do Step N Repeat and Step N Continue however I don't think it can do Cut N Stack which is shame for variable work. We tend to impose most of our work on the Creo RIP.

Thanks for the tip. The website makes it look like more of a consumables tracking software which would be useful for calculating the clear usage on our Xerox 800. The part of iQueue I'm mostly interested in is being able to adjust the charge and fuser temperature with meaningful values. Our...
