An interesting thing about the C9100 is that 110PPM is for A4, but the machine can apparently print 75PPM SRA3, equivalent to 150PPM A4.

Does anyone have any thoughts yet on the EX-P vs EX RIP? We're being told by Xerox that the EX-P is only applicable to variable data environments (which we don't do). As far as I've been able to find out, the only difference between the two is more memory and a faster processor. That sounds...

We have this Horizon system, plus the inline creasing and inline slitting and it is very impressive. One tip is to ask the supplier to install the "digital" rollers (they are slightly different from the default ones that ship with the machine). The other thing to bear in mind is that the HOF...

Does anyone know how they deal with mixed media yet? We have the Horizon HOF-400 so have to run jobs with a spine < 200mm as mixed media. So for instance, a 300gsm cover and 130gsm inners?

C8000 is much higher shine. It's also discontinued. KM say that the replacements (1085 & 1100) are lower shine, but I haven't seen any samples on those to compare. TBH the vast majority of people like the output from a C8000, it has a shine on the toner but not that "layered" look that the older...

Does anyone have any real world experience with the Versant 2100 yet?

Products - Tonejet Maybe? Not something I have any experience of, but it seems to be what the OP wants.

Good grief man, if this is craft beer why are you putting it in a CAN? You can get short run bottle label printing no problem. I could digital print and die cut any quantity you want. I don't know how you do that for a can though, in the old days it was specially adapted litho presses that...

It's just spam, probably trying to do link building. Surprised the mods don't keep on top of this type of thing.

That machine is specified only to 300gsm, you have to go up to the c8000e for 350gsm. Some people will run heavier weights, but it's not supported. The prices you mention sound suspiciously cheap. Have you made sure that isn't the bare engine price? As a minimum you will need a heavy duty...

90gsm gloss art is going to be tissue paper thin and very difficult to handle. Way different to an uncoated 90gsm. We've never had any luck reliably feeding less than 115gsm gloss art through our Konicas, but they will happily run 115gsm gloss all day long (c6501 / c8000). The spec sheet for...

There seem to be some products out now based on Memjet technology, i.e. roll to roll label printers. Does anyone have experience with these? The last I read about these a few months ago, people were saying that the print was not water fast, i.e. not much use for product labels etc. Has that...

The major benefit that I see is running mixed media jobs (if you run mixed media, you know what the productivity gains are). Anyway, dual fuser means almost no slowdown on mixed media (literally almost zero). I don't know how you would achieve that engineering wise on a single fuser, or even...

I don't know whether anyone noticed the announcement in December, but KM have a new "model" that replaces the c8000, the c8000e. I've got the detailed list of changes under NDA so I can't share those with you, however it is WELL worth having the conversation with whoever is supplying your c8000...

We use an Autocreaser (Morgana) and it's been reliable for over 5 years. It gets used for around 10-30 jobs daily and the only thing that's broken is one of the operating switches. In fact that's broken twice, which probably shows how much we use it. However the parts are reasonably priced...

Sounds interesting (as I'm going to have to buy yet another colour digital soon), however the X1000 prices must have dropped like a stone. I got quotes a little over a year ago and the X1000 worked out well over twice the capital cost of a Konica C8000 and about 1.5x the running costs, which...

Depends what you want it for really. You can't go far wrong with Colotech from Xerox (though they have had some very dodgy batches over the years), either direct from Xerox or through a paper merchant. The other "usual suspect" is Color Copy, from memory the manufacturer is Mondi. Those are...

That's a great little machine and we bought one to play with earlier in the year. It doesn't create a crease that is strong enough to stop cracking on digital print. Sorry, but that's a limitation due to the amount of pressure it can produce. Remember, the Accucut is basically a hobby level...

We don't have any curl problems with any of our Konicas (we have the 6501 and 8000 models). As long as you are following the basics, i.e. keep good environmental control in the room the machines are in and always condition the paper for at least 24 hours before use, then I suspect your decurler...

For: print quality is superb, we have a lot of photographers that use us and there isn't anything else close to it for the money. Against: it's a pig to keep running. You need a really good operator and a good service engineer, even then count on plenty of down time. The older 6501s are not...
