    Digital kiss cutting

    If you are looking at the VeloBlade you might also interested in Duplo's PFi Blade. This is exactly the same machine as the VeloBlade but Duplo had the software rewritten rather than using the VeloBlade chinese software.

    Xerox (Versant) 2nd BTR streaking marks work around

    Xerox had changed the 2nd BTR to a softer roller which meant it was more prone to scratches. When my engineer came round to change it, he told me that they were being called out a lot for this reason. 90% of the paper I use is silk and this causes the problem, especially on the heavier weights...

    Toner Foiling Problem on Soft Touch Laminate - How to get rid of foil spots

    In a way, yes. I changed my supplier of laminate (in the UK). I now use GMP supplies. When I originally phoned them and spoke to their technical lady, she stopped me in my tracks and answered my question straight away which nobody else had been able to do. Apparently, there was too much corona...

    The Celebration

    Like anything, once it becomes part of the norm, humans will adapt to it as long as its quick and easy. Due to lockdown, those who didn't shop online have been nudged into that direction and if you don't have a website or social media presence it'll get harder to sell to new customers, just ask...

    Does anyone use Biodegradable laminate

    We're a digital printer in the UK looking at changing over to Biodegradable Matt and Gloss laminate. We also overprint laminate with digital foil on our Vivid Matrix and die cut on the new Duplo PFi Blade B3 digital cutter. I've phoned a few laminate suppliers but there don't seem to be any...

    Sleeking Queries

    Printed on Xerox Versant 80 and foiled on Vivid Matrix Query 1 - I regularly print an A5 32pp PUR Book where the header of every page if foiled (first foil then CMYK the rest). This works very well but if the foil and CMYK is close together, you may have some fit problems. I also tested another...

    Toner Foiling Problem on Soft Touch Laminate - How to get rid of foil spots

    Pressure makes a big difference on the actual foiled areas whether I change pressure, speed or temperature, the spots are always there. I wonder if I've got a faulty batch of laminate!!!

    Toner Foiling Problem on Soft Touch Laminate - How to get rid of foil spots

    Attached is a photograph showing you my problem. The pic shows the spots larger than they actually are because of the shine from the lens. They are actually more like glitter spots, but they are all over the sheet.

    Toner Foiling Problem on Soft Touch Laminate - How to get rid of foil spots

    Thanks for your solution. I've already tried this and apply it to every job which I foil. After laminating the sheets, I trim off 1mm from the trailing furry edge before applying toner and foiling but it still has random spots.

    Toner Foiling Problem on Soft Touch Laminate - How to get rid of foil spots

    I've got a Vivid Matrix 370P along with Xerox Versant 80 Digital Press. When using the Matrix for foiling on plain smooth paper its perfect...very fast, accurate, clean and no foil spots. But when I try and foil onto Soft Touch Laminate I get random spots of foil in different positions on some...

    More V180 problems

    I've had a similar problem on my Versant 80 with small tinted text. I would try setting the image quality to 'Normal' instead of 'Best' and I'd also try rotating the business card 90 degrees to that it prints the other way round.

    Junk Drums from Xerox lately.

    I also had 1 drum replaced luckily the engineer was here when it went wrong. He checked my ref numbers as well and said the rest were okay because it was a batch around 6 months ago. The BTR problem only shows up on heavy stocks 250gsm upwards, but nobody ever told me to keep the rollers...
