    cheap digital printer

    It is a rebadged OKI. Personally I would stick with what you have already. If it's paid for and all you have is the clicks, then why spend thousands on something else? The OKI is probably the only one which fits the bill, but they do not work well in printshops. We had one a while ago, and...

    Okidata C9650

    Agree with happyprinter. Compatible toners on the OKI machines are of varying quality, and all seem to wear the drums out faster or cause quality issues in some way. I also found that compatibles on OKI machines tend to give more problems with that awful backgrounding that OKI machines suffer...

    What is a XEROX CHARGE COROTRON and what does it due

    Sits on top of the black drum to create a charge on the drum. If it's dirty or something, you may notice lines in the black print on greyscales etc. We have one in stock, but have never fitted one as all new black drums have one fitted to them anyway, so everytime you replace the black drum...

    How to Print Envelopes without Skewing on One Side

    Get a Xerox. We've done 1000's through our DC250, all coming out perfect. We do keep an old fuser for envelopes, and we only use good quality envelopes, but all in all we get very good results.

    Oki 900DP repa=lacement for Docucolor 250

    I went from an OKI to a DC250 a few years ago and would never, ever, ever, ever go back to an OKI. They are not production machines. Quality is ok when drums are brand new, but goes downhill fast. None of the consumables will last anywhere near as long as OKI say they should. Colour is all...

    Impositioning

    CutePDF Professional. We've been using it for a couple of years and does everything we need for our digital press. Once created, settings are stored so you can impose within seconds for regularly used sizes. They do a free trial, but the paid for version is only $49.95. Best money we ever...

    Trimming Perfect Bound Books

    Kind of embarrassed to ask this, as I've bound and trimmed thousands of perfect bound paperback books in my time, but the last time I done some was about 15 years ago, so my memory has let me down a bit!! I used to work for a large printing company running the Horizon binding line, but I left...

    Why do we do this job????

    If it really wasn't the plates holding it up, then you need to tell the director this. No way you should be taking the blame for the minders inability to do his job properly. I agree, UK is tough at the moment (I'm UK too - Cambridge), but is the grass really greener elsewhere? The world is...

    And I Expected Quality.... (short rant)

    Just remembered the best one I had from a 'graphic designer' was when he told me that no one uses pdf files anymore as they display differently on different computers and that his old printer never needed a bleed so why should we? I inflated his price and he went elsewhere... sometimes it's...

    And I Expected Quality.... (short rant)

    Personally I would rather have a Publisher file than a Word file, as at least publisher has some bleed and crop mark options, but I know what you mean. It's a sad state these days, but every time we get a client who says "my graphic designer will send you the artwork", we really do dread what...

    Xerox Meters

    Hi Can any one tell me how the meters count on Xerox machines, especially the DC5252/DC2045/etc. My understanding was that there were 4 meters: A - Total colour prints (any size) B - Total black prints (any size) C - Total Large Colour prints (A3+) D - Total prints (A+B) Therefore there is...

    Xerox Docucolor Clicks

    Hi I am looking to find the general opinion on Xerox clicks on Docucolor machines, especially from anyone that has a Xerox on an all inclusive service contract. Obviously the counters count one click per sheet, regardless of size. However, on your click contracts, do large sheets get charged...

    To buy or not to buy?

    Really???!!!??? If I could buy a DC250 for £500 I would bite the sellers hand off. I have a DC250 which I bought a couple of years ago from a dealer for £7000. I love the machine and I am currently looking for a second, but even on ebay they are currently at £4000+ for a good DC250...

    Expert Opinion Needed on New Printer for Neophyte

    Something else to consider is that you mention some runs will go to 4000. A digital machine (as all the machines you have mentioned are digital) will be fine for smaller runs, and I can see your thinking in that being able to produce extras there and then will be great for you. However, a run...

    Comparison: Oki Pro Series vs Digital Presses

    Mine was Pro too. Incidentally, I had a 'normal' office OKI a few years ago (C9200 I think), which had pretty much the same problems as the new Pro series. I thought with the new printers aimed at the pro market they would be better, but they really have not come on very much at all. damfino...

    Comparison: Oki Pro Series vs Digital Presses

    I can only comment on my experiences, which is with OKI Pro series and our Xerox DC250, DC12 and DC5252. OKI printers will produce quality as good as the Xerox machines when they are new and all consumables are new. The problems come when OKI consumables are no longer new. Quality of print...

    OKI es3640 / es9410 print issues

    I feel for you. We used to have an OKI, which was sold to us by a company who claim that these machines are perfect for the print shop. They market their whole business on selling OKI machines to printers (we in the UK), saying they are perfect for all jobs, even claiming 330gsm business cards...
