The book is put on a table at a hotel and the customer flicks through, reading the history of each drink. This...

    Duplo stitch cartridges

    Ah!!!! I had this exact problem on my DBM-120 a couple of years ago and queried it with Duplo. When I asked if it was a known problem they said No!!!! I ended up spraying silicone spray into the cartridge and it helped for a bit.

    Jam code J8 - Duplo DBM-120 Bookletmaker

    How many pages was the booklet? Does it have a gloss laminate cover which makes it slippery. Is it being gripped heavily enough to be pulled to the trimmer at the specified time allocated.

    I've currently buying my toner foil (in the UK) from Vivid but bought a sample roll (1" core, 320mm wide) on ebay but the seller no longer exists.

    Versant 280 Splotchy/Mottled Color on Heavy Stock

    I used to have a similar problem at our previous location. Next time this happens, try this little test which I used to use: Heat up the sheet by printing a tiny black dot on the page (outside of the print area) and then put the same sheet through again but this time with your CMYK image. I used...

    Versant 280 Splotchy/Mottled Color on Heavy Stock

    I use a V80 so I'm not sure what the equivalent setting is on the V280 but change the paper type setting to Embossed or Cast Coated at the heaviest paper weight.

    Just to let you know, Xerox are discontinuing the Versant 80 at the end of 2024. I think this might make it harder to get parts/consumables

    Advice please - flaking toner when guillotining a solid edge which is face down

    This has been an ongoing problem for years which is why Xerox added the fly wheel. Slowing the machine down using the NVM method is what I do to eliminate the band lines for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow but I've been told by my Xerox engineers that there isn't a solution for eliminating the black...

    Advice please - flaking toner when guillotining a solid edge which is face down

    I've just tried putting a 305gsm Uncoated sheet with Solid Black through the guillotine and it's come out very clean. This now leads me to thinking that as mentioned by 'tngcas' and 'TJ Printer', there is too much give in between the glued sheets. I'm going to try printed the 2 sides on thinner...

    Advice please - flaking toner when guillotining a solid edge which is face down

    Advice please - flaking toner when guillotining a solid edge which is face down

    Good shout!!! I've tried the silicone spray with the new blade but I might try gluing 2 printed sheets of 200gsm to a 350gsm centre sheet with a hotter fuser and slower speed. Thanks

    Hi all you experts out there. I've printed a menu on my Xerox Versant 80 toner based digital press which is 2 sheets of 350gsm Silk.
