probably a calibration error, try a different profile (i.e. factory standard one that hasn't been customised), see if it's still there. might be a fault with the machine, we had one once where a fine layer of toner was being laid down over everything. If that's the case you'll probably see it...

I have to warn you that the c8000 is nowhere near capable of running 350K a month, absolutely nowhere near. Three c8000s are maybe capable of that, probably more like 5 to be sure. We run more than that, but spread over several machines. The c8000 is significantly less reliable than the older...

We have a 14 month old (just out of warranty!) HP Designjet L25500 that is going through print heads rapidly. They are all under warranty and so far have been replaced by HP, however it seems that something may be wrong. This is a very low usage machine housed in a purpose built room within...

Don't take offence (just my 2p worth) but you really want to get some extraction with EVA. Closed tank PUR's not so bad, but I'd sort out the ventilation pronto on EVA (especially if used in a smallish area). A hole in the wall, pipework etc costs peanuts next to health problems.

I'm not that familiar with the Creo front end, so can't give you specific guidance. However, as a general rule, you MUST insist that KM sends a colour specialist to spend at least a day with you to (a) profile the papers that you use (you should only use profiled papers if you want to keep any...

Well the samples that Xerox did for us on an 800 (actually a 1000, but I think the same basic machine) came back with a pronounced wave in them. I don't doubt your experience, but I've seen no evidence with my own eyes that any manufacturer has yet perfected high temp fusing + standard litho...

As far as I've been told the actual figures are (all SRA3, other sizes will vary): 46ppm SRA3 up to 135gsm 40ppm SRA3 up to 300gsm 23ppm SRA3 up to 350gsm So there is a big speed decrease ABOVE 300gsm, but not at 300gsm. We have no complaints over the speed of the c8000, but then again we are...

I think you should check the facts carefully on this one. As far as I am aware (we have a c8000 with the humidifier), it ONLY works on uncoated paper. If you are counting on this feature for COATED paper, I think you have been misinformed. If you have CURL, the decurlers work very well. If...

We've operated a c8000 for almost a year now and have a couple of 6501s as well. I've been mostly pretty happy with the c8000, but there are lots of things that need improving and should never have been released in a production machine. However, I'm sure that's true of every digital "press"...

We run a lot of Duplo kit (including a system 5000) and also some Horizon kit. The Horizon machinery has been a lot more reliable over the years and the servicing & repair costs are more reasonable. Sorry, don't know about the Bourg.

Gordo - we use Azura TS with a Screen 4300S and I've never seen any cyan powder in over 2 years of use, so no, not normal in my experience.

There are so few commercial inkjets out there, it's pretty difficult for mere end-users like us to separate the hype from the real story. Are there any that cost less than a million bucks yet? Real physical ones that work with a wide variety of substrates, all to a consistently high level of...

It sounds like you need a pre-melter. You put the glue block in this and it heats and dispenses the amount of glue you want. As it is not open to the air, the remaining glue is reusable. Your reseller should have discussed this with you. I'm not that familiar with open tank PUR systems (we...

This thread is hilarious. When I bought my first Xerox DC12 back in 2002, the first thing that people warned me was to get a physical signed letter from someone in a position of authority at Xerox that LIMITED the yearly increase. I requested this and the sales person squealed like a stuck pig...

Thanks for the suggestion, but if I understand you right, you're talking about feed issues while printing. The c8000 sounds like a different kettle of fish to the 700. It has air separation and vacuum tape feed on all trays, so feeding has never been an issue. The problems occur when the...

The humidified is optional. We have it installed on our c8000 and what you may not be aware of is that it is only for use on uncoated paper, i.e. the gloss paper that has static issues is not affected by the humidifier.

Interesting! We've noticed that sheets off of our c8000 have much more static than sheets off of our 6501s. KM have no clue why. As you are having the same issue, it may be that the c8000 has a general issue with adding static to sheets. We've had a specialist industrial "anti static"...

Can anyone out there putting some volume through a 288 with the Sheet Enhancement Module tell me how flat the sheets are coming out for you and how well they are (offline, perfect) binding?

Vinny, all the discussion is very interesting, but in fact you got the answer you needed from Jotterpinky in answer 2. We trim 99% of the output from our 2 perfect binders (1 EVA, 1 PUR) on an automated 3K trimmer, but there are always some odd sizes that need finishing on one of the...

My reading of the license is no, it's intended so that you can be running your main (desktop) computer and your laptop, but not both at the same time. So, exactly the same as previously.
