    Versant 180 - Way to know or specify which black toner being used?

    Why would that even be a question? What could you possibly gain from knowing which one is being used?? It's not like they are different colors, their both the same cartridge. My guess is it uses K1 until it is empty and switched to K2 and so on. It's not like it uses a little from K1 and a...

    need advice: xerox c60 vs xanté en/press

    It's a love hate relationship right now. When it's running it runs like a champ, but when it's down it's a PITA.

    Ricoh C9200+C7200 v Xerox Iridesse

    All that being said, make sure you understand the issues with front to back registration on the Ricoh vs the ColorPress. If adjusting registration is anything like our Ricoh 8120 it is a huge PIA. The 1000i is a few simple mouse clicks and 10 sheets of paper and it is dead on 99% of the time...

    Load share across mono and colour machine

    Do you have a post fuser inserter on your mono machine? We split the PDF apart for color pages and BW pages. Run the color on the 1000i or V180 and insert them on our mono machines all the time. You just have to figure out face up/down delivery on the color and program how many sheets to pull in...

    need advice: xerox c60 vs xanté en/press

    We have an EnPress with about 300,000 on it, we only print envelopes on it. Started off strong, then took a hard crap. We have put 5 feeder doors on it (under warranty) due to a crappy plastic stud that holds the feeder wheel return spring which snaps off. Drums do not last near the life span...

    OKI C942 Envelope printer - running #10 windows

    Assuming you are but just in case, make sure they are digi clear window envelopes and not a standard window. Check for toner stalactites in the paper path that can catch as it is running. They usually build up post fuser.

    Plockmatic 350 Pricing Question

    I would go offline, we have a BM500 (Morgana) with a vacuum feeder, square fold and trimmer. About 6 years old now and is one of the most run pieces of equipment on my shop next to a cutter and folder. We have run about 550,000 books through it, with very few issues that were not easy to fix...

    Canon C8000 with Plockmatic - What's your opinion

    Go off line with the bookletmaker. We have the BM500 with the vacuum feeder, square fold and trimmer. Much more versatile since you are not dependent on a single print engine. Our BM500 is about 6 years old now and has outlasted 2 print engines out of the 4 that feed it.

    USPS List Prep Question

    Thanks Guys - The only issue I have with mailing the "undleiverables" is we are Full Service and get penalized if we go over 1/2 of 1% NCOA errors for the month. We just need to set a policy and stick to it, we let things go by trying to be nice in the beginning.

    NCR on Ricoh

    We just set it to Yellow, keep in mind if you run a bunch it will mess up the drum and transfer belt. My tech said to run in batches with copy paper runs in between on long run jobs. Not sure if that is BS or not.

    USPS List Prep Question

    All of you who run mailing lists through CASS/DPV software I have a question. How much correcting are you doing of addresses that are deemed undeliverable by the software? When we first started our thought process was make the corrections we can without charging since it would equate to more...

    Butt-load of spot colors in a job

    Why do you need all the colors to be spot? Are you calibrated to a spot color library in a RIP or actually running on press with 27 plates?

    Which VD format for EFI?

    Flatten the pdf before you make it a VT. Even with a hyper RIP it will slow way down. I have found pdf output from PSL MUCH faster than PDF VT from Fusion Pro.
