CutePDF - easily does what you need for about $40. Download the trial - you could use that for every if you wanted as all the trial does is put a line of text at the edge of the sheet, which we found was always in the cut off bleed section as we used oversize paper. We paid the $40 however as...

So you don't want an iGen, you just want to know how much it will cost another printer with an iGen to print so you can haggle down on the price????? It does not work that way. Firstly, the printer with the iGen will have many other overheads to cover, not just the click charge (paper, staff...

Experience.

Used to get the same on my OKI before it was sent back (same engine as Illumina). It only happened when running the second side through the bypass feeder. It was not actually the roller doing the marking, but is rub off from the sheet it is feeding. First sheet is fine, but as the first sheet...

Common problem on OKI machines. We've just got out of a contract after 6 months because of these quality problems. OKI machines are now being sold as production machines, but they are not - they are office machines at best. Quality of prints varies so much as the life of the drums changes...

We got a used DC250 about 6 months ago, and have to say it is an excellent machine. We got it to replace an OKI C9650 which we had from new, and had nothing but problems with in the 6 months we had it. It was so bad, we got the dealer to take it back and end our contract. The OKI was sold to...

We run TechNova plates on our DC250 with good results. We get good run lengths (10,000+). Our DC250 gives much better results than our DC12. Must run on greyscale though or you get all those security dots showing up.

OKI machines would fit your needs as they cope well with varying sizes and stocks, but be very aware that the colours will change drastically as parts such as drums begin to wear. At 50% of their life, the colours it produces will be very different from when the drums are at 100%. If colour...

Very true! I've just got out of a contract on an OKI C9650 after 12 months as the quality was just not up to scratch. We had a brand new machine installed on a service contract. We would have issues such as banding, poor colour, etc. Call out an engineer, and the engineer would just say...

Very good, thank you .. put a smile on my face :)

I think I will do that now. Not that I want her as a customer anymore, but just for my own satisfaction I think it will be worth it.

Glad to hear it's not just me who get's these numpty's. As soon as I heard her say nobody uses pdf's for artwork I knew it was gonna be one of those conversations...

Just had a customer teaching me how to accept artwork files. Customer ordered some business cards, and asked me how I need the artwork. I tell her a pdf file with 3mm bleed all round will be fine. She goes off to speak to her 'designer', and then comes back to tell me that I am wrong. She...

I only said 'I' would bow out. Having run my own print shop for over 10 years, I have, and still do outsource some jobs. I know how stressful it can be however when you are the middleman in an outsourcing position and there is a production problem. The 'problem' is completely out of your...

Having discussed this with my Xerox engineer, my take on the offset v digital paper thing is that it is not so important these days as it was a few years ago. We currently run a DC12 (with fuser oil), and a DC250 (no fuser oil). The DC12 was always having problems with offset paper, with the...

As you are not aware of how to do this at the moment, I assume you do not do this volume of work on a regular basis. If I am wrong, I apologise and please disregard the following. On the basis you do not currently do this type of work however, it sounds like you would need to make a BIG...

Agree with jotterpinky. We run both a DC250 and a DC12. Registration is fairly consistant up to 300gsm on our DC250. We have to apply an image shift often to get it to line up with either manual or auto duplex, but once the job is running it is pretty good. Certainly as good as the DC12 is...

We have a DC250 with professional finisher, and have to say the booklet maker is fine. We don't use it a lot, as we finish offline as most of our work has a bleed, but when we do use it the only complaint I have is that the stacker only holds about 10 before it stops and needs emptying. We...

patience is a virtue my friend. rudeness is not

We run an OKI C9650, which is a similar machine. The drums are the big let down. Fine for an office printing out emails all day, but for graphic arts, the print quality drops to an unacceptable level after about 30% of their life. Mine sits there all day not being used now, as the quality...
