We are one of those accounts. It was actually quite stunning...how fast they pivoted from trying to sell us a new Nexfinity to essentially asking us to either switch to the new plan or stop using the press. The article is spot on. The costs have escalated significantly because of the shift...

@KopyBoss can you clarify if you mean a million clicks on each machine? That would be impressive considering what they have in their customer expectations document.

@digidave thanks for your post. I actually spoke to the Canon rep in our area today. He was pretty confident that the Canon Inkjet would be as good if not better in quality than our kodak. I sent him some samples to run...pretty excited to see the output. Most of what we run is coated 12 pt...

@Isellequipment thank you for your advice. We average between 1 million and 1.5 million clicks per month. It looks like we really would need 3 of these to reliable handle the volume at 500k per month. The problem with that is we don't have the space or the electricity to run 3 of these. We...

Yes, that's what we were told unless we got paper specifically made for the Indigo.

To be fair to Xerox, their proposed solution is a 2 press deal for the Iridesse. The concern I have is that our volume is probably still a bit much for 2 Iridesse. We have never really looked at the HP in more detail since we mail almost everything we print and everyone we have discussed this...

We are definitely including our operators in the discussion. They like the Kodak and would rather not change. However, they do see the challenges and understand if we have to make a change. We are talking to upper management in Kodak. Not sure if anything will come of it but we are at least...

@jwheeler thank you for the suggestions. That is the conundrum we are in right now. Our volumes are not quite there for inkjet. We are very wary of buying more machine than we need, especially in this environment. I will ask KM about their inkjet. I also just contacted Canon as well. My...

Weird...we definitely thought the IGEN would be up there as well...just did not see the quality. We did at least 2 different sets of samples with Xerox. Not sure why the disconnect between what you see and what I saw from Xerox. Xerox themselves have been pushing the 2 Iridesse solution a lot...

Hi all, thanks for your replies. Chriscozi, to answer your question, the samples came from Xerox Rochester. We had the same files printed by them on the Iridesse and Igen. Between Ricoh/Kodak/Igen and Iridesse, the Igen samples were easily the worst. Xerox themselves told me that the...

Thank you for that info. We have been told that the press can run 1 million - 1.25 million A4 clicks a month with no issues. This document definitely contradicts that. This is definitely something I need to get a clarification from them on.

Hi all, As a quick background, we do a lot of very high quality (not quite photographic but close) on demand prints. We also mail almost everything we print. We have had the Kodak NexPress for the last 5 years. We also have a Ricoh 9100 as our second press. The Kodak is our primary and gets...

Hi all, We are a digital print shop and we print a lot of packages all over the country. We have an ecommerce site with a custom shopping cart and we have our own internal system to manage the workflow. One of the issues we have is accuracy of shipments. Our shipping process is currently...

Hi all, We have a part home grown/part out of the box web to print system that works pretty well for our needs. It also has a home built back-end/workflow system where we track/update orders. The one thing completely missing is a scheduling system. I am looking to see if there is any...

Hey guys, another question...do you run into issues where the address panel is not on the same spot for every postcard. While 80% of the postcards we do, have the address panel in the same spot, some don't. How do you deal with that during automation? In our case, it is possible that the...

Hi Dcurry, we did explore the XMPie server option a while ago. From what I remember it was very expensive and was not a feasible option then. I will follow up with them again and see what the pricing is. Josh, thanks for the suggestion. We are going to try it. That should save us a lot of...

Hi all, I would appreciate some input regarding our variable data conundrum - We do a bunch of small jobs that vary in quantities from 50-1000. We print and mail all of them They could be various sizes but we typically do 5.5 x 11 and 5.5 x 8.5 postcards. Right now, we have our list...

Hi all, We have a web 2 print solution (off the shelf initially but then customized) that works very well for our needs. It has a designer that is HTML form based. It also has a basic HTML 5 designer. Unfortunately, the designer is a bit outdated and we are looking to upgrade. We would like...

The graininess is on any picture that we print. It does not matter if it is our design or customer supplied. We calibrate everyday. We do the shading adjustment and the print server calibration (sometimes more than once a day). Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by "if our print...

Hi all, We have two digital presses - Canon 7000VP and Canon 7010VP. The 7010 is only a year old. For the most part, they work ok for what we print....postcards, brochures etc. Decent quality, sometimes great quality and we have no complaints. However, we recently got a few big clients...
