    Xerox Proficio Range

    I'd look at an Canon Varioprint 6000 then. You don't need a post inserter, because the paper path can just be diverted which allows you to use any tray as an insert tray. You can also do a split & merge, so if you have a book with 15 color pages and 190 b&w you can just run all the color pages...

    Sadly, he never came up with a solution, but he was great in Police Academy.

    Xerox Primelink / Ricoh Pro 8410

    The drum and webs have a little instruction sheet inside on how to install them. The drum is just a turn of a knob, and a release lever and then it slides out and you put in the brand new one. The web is just two small nuts you loosen, then drop the new one in and press two keys on the control...

    Xerox Primelink / Ricoh Pro 8410

    We have two Mono Primelink B9136 machines. The print quality is actually quite good, and they're super low maintenance. Just have to change the drums and cleaning webs when it asks you. We put about 300k a month split between both of the machines for an insurance client. If you don't have a...

    Lower Cost Printer

    Not having a maintenance agreement is such a terrible move imo. The amount of boards we've needed replaced that were in the thousands of dollars has more than paid for itself. It's one thing to do basic maintenance, but complex repairs will bury you financially off contract.

    IjetColor NXT

    How up to date is this info? We had to update firmware since all the new inks are chipped. I'd be concerned that third party inks wouldn't be accepted.

    Thoughts on Bulk Mailings and Software Recommendations

    We use Lorton's A-Qua mailer. We have an old Buskro addresser and Secap tabber. You might want to consider offering a job to one of the mail experts at the shops that are closing. There's a lot to learn, and it'll save a lot of headache to bring someone on with existing knowledge. We usually...

    Ricoh 7500 5th Color

    We have a Xerox Iridesse and they provided a book with design guidelines for all the additional toner options. I'd suggest reaching out to your sales team for the same.

    Fiery Printer Logs - Is Duplex missing?

    If you want to track your operator settings, have them print out a job details page you can keep with the printed output. It's in the "summary" tab of your job details, then the top right button will print all the job details. The fiery logs just tracks clicks, not settings.

    is it unrealistic to expect good photo prints out of a CMYK digital toner press?

    Yearbooks I'd do, but no, I think toner is a terrible device for actual photo printing.

    Awww Come On! Leave The Poor Font Alone!

    Apparently they switched to Calibri because it's a sans serif font, so the DEI claim is that it was to enhance readability for people with disabilities. I'm more of a wingdings guy myself.

    NCR Book Making Techniques

    We do the wrap around covers with perf NCR. We just order parent sheets for the covers. Bindery hates doing them though.

    Canon V900 frequently pausing while "adjustment" is being made

    Our old Imagepress C750 does this too. I think it's because it's a light production machine. It constantly stops for "adjusting". The higher end models have better fusing units and they maintain their temperatures better.

    Bought a new (to me) DPX 2, I can no longer print direct from InDesign. I have questions

    Most RIP workflows are PDF driven, so an exported PDF is ideal since you can just drag and drop into a hotfolder. Using a print driver tends to introduce variables, like accidentally leaving a box checked from a previous print, or accidentally changing color settings.

    ricoh pro c9110 thin black line problem

    If it really is your machine, flip the image 180. If it's the machine causing it, the black dots should be on the other side of the text. If they don't move, it would indicate it's in the file and not a print defect.

    Canon imagePRESS V1000: a year of repeatable issues, “within spec”

    You samples are horrendous. The first thing I'd say is your line screens don't seem to be set up correctly, but beyond that, your prints are washed out and you have a ton of banding. I wouldn't consider any of those prints sellable where I work. I've demoed a V1350, and the prints were sharp...

    Graphtec FC9000 Tool/Blade Holder Issues

    I'm guessing it's these from AliExpress.
