I was using High Sierra w/ Rampage v12 with no issues at all.

I agree. I had a 9900 that had to have 2 head replacements in 5 years. The x900 series has been discontinued. The SureColor P Series is EPSON's suggested successor.

Wait... there was a 4?!?

All tree printing technologies allow you to print on clear or metallized substrates, among other finishes. Window clings are an example of wanting to have a white down before or after (depending on whether is is applied inside or outside) printing 4CP. One time we used opaque white on our Indigo...

This can apply to offset, digital or flexo.

Is he going to be printing on a clear substrate with a white underprint?

I've tried that and usually it is two, three, four or more times going back and forth with the customer. Either they don't understand or don't have the abilities and/or talent. A lot of shops also experience what claude72 stated.

Trade Magazines: Printing Impressions and Flexo. I dearly miss Graphic Arts Monthly. Other: Peers and Friends in the industry.

Where I worked in the past, if I had taken that approach and the customer complained, my boss would have lit me up for either not fixing it or not catching it. It wouldn't matter if it was the customer's mistake.

Back in the early 2000's we had a Harris M110B (heatset half-web) re-built and the solid ink blade was replaced with segmented ink keys. That was back when Heidelberg owned Harris, though.

Although I have never owned a Xante Impressia, I have had a demo of one. I was impressed (no pun intended). I believe it is built around a RICOH Aficio SP series printer. I've had two of these printers over the last 10 years. They are absolutely rock solid!

I know many press operators who would disagree with that statement. Screened patches of known values are nice to use when determining dot gain.

I calculate creep on anything 24-pages and higher. If the total push-out is less than 1/16" than I don't even bother with an adjustment.

Was it previously under a service contract? What kind of RIP is it coming with? How many plate has it imaged? Is there any automation? That being said/asked... Screen devices are rock-solid.

I have used them. Especially at fast food restaurants. If the experience was as to be expected I don't do it. But if it was exceptionally good or poor I'll participate.

I'm speechless. Is selling off NexPress in the future? George Eastman must be rolling in his grave (technically he was cremated).

As I am finding out, most flexo shops only send a PDF proof for approval. In the offset world, nearly every job had a physical proof made. And these proofs would also show traps. The question is, whether you are using Esko or PACKZ, do you show traps on your PDF proofs?

The most popular iteration of the 3.5" disk had storage of 1.44Mb. In my graveyard I still have a 2Gb SCSI Iomega Jaz Drive. Does anyone remember the 100Mb Zip drive and the "Click of Death"?

Where are you located?

I sent you a PM.
