Fuser temperature is what I did on our old Versant and I think the print technology is somewhat similar. I have seen envelopes running on an Iridesse with no problem so it can be done. Are you sure your paper settings are all correct? If you are in spec for what the printer does you could also...

I use ChatGPT Plus myself, have a subscription to that service and find it helpful for so many tasks. I took a prompt and tried it with both Grok and ChatGPT. I thought Grok would be better in this case but ChatGPT was actually closer to my prompt and the face looks more accurate. Prompt: Tom...

Indesign and Photoshop both have AI in them now and you simply use Generative Expand. I don't put any prompts in, just let it continue on with the image. Below is a quick example in where you will see just a random picture placed in an Indesign document. Now if I drag out the box that holds...

We don't use it for creating images in our design work, we do use it for adding bleed, removing pieces and other little things like that. Saves a ton of time and very versatile. We did have a design house submit a file for a banner for a credit union and they had taken an ai image from adobe...

Been a while since I direct operated a digital press. When I did it was a Xerox Versant 2100. If I had seen that I would have profiled the paper by doing a Laser Density Calibration for that sheet. Think I have the verbiage correct. It would print each colour on a sheet in a row with 0 in the...

another vote for this one. $200 USD for the Digital version which means for digital sheet sizes. This version will let you impose on sheets up to 19.685" x 19.685". So for digital use you can do a 13 x 19 sheet no problem. Software is relatively easy, support is great. You can create templates...

I am still dealing with Papyrus, not sure I am ready to deal with all the issues that Calibi is now bringing

You might look for a shop that has a flatbed swissQ, they might be able to hold something that fine.

If Affinity had separation view in the software I think they would be really close to everything most shops would need. They do variable data, PDF's are decent. Software is fast. Just a few little things to get in there. I do wonder what Adobe's reaction is going to be. Paying for the highest...

Affinity makes decent PDF's, Canva the web application for design which is a very different thing still makes horrible PDF's if you need to edit or fix the files your client produces. Canva purchased Affinity so it was created by a very different team.

Thanks, the list view is nice for Pantones. It would be nice for the starting pallets if I could figure out how to delete all those colours. I find them unnecessary and just gives me a super long list when it is not needed. Again comparing to the Indesign screen shot I had shared it is very...

When I start on a new project in Illustrator or Indesign I like the simple basic colour sets it gives you for swatches. It is simple and also drag and drop. So if I make a custom colour with the Pantone slides I can then in the Swatches panel literally just click on the colour and drag it...

They do have the Pantone libraries in the app, no extra payments needed for them

I was on the team beta testing this. It has been interesting watching it develop and the idea of a single app that basically entwines Indesign Illustrator and Photoshop together. I personally would not switch our shop away from Adobe at the moment, but if momentum continues I think you might...

thanks! I assumed it would be so, but did not have experience with anything bigger then the 2100.

We have a KM 12000 right now and have a lot of down time with it. Whenever a colour drum needs to be changed we lose about half a day. That is not all the replacement it includes the techs travel time, but that still means we are down. I ran Xerox for years before and colour drums were always...

I know of 2 different shops that have just tossed these printers out when we took over their businesses. Such a sad thing as they are great printers, but you just can't give them away it seems. I know when my family business merged with my current company I kept our Epson 9900 and the EFI rip...

A VM will work for that as Repro_Pro mentioned. When we had the family shop we had a couple of RIPs still running on XP. I never touched them as the price for upgrading is a lot when the old stuff still worked fine. If you have to update the computer then a VM lets you keep going without...

I will have to look and see. I imagine it does as when I run the calibration from Command Workstation it prints out the pages from the right tray with a measurement swatch page.

profiles are made already, I am talking about then using the calibration to maintain consitency with print colours by running the colour calibration on a daily basis. Tech's almost make it sound like it is useless doing it through Command Workstation. The method of running calibrations through...
