Just a heads up — I’m not very experienced with getting the most out of my EFI ES-2000 spectrophotometer, so I’m wondering if there’s a better way to approach this. I print 10 different package cartons on my Xerox Versant 280. Each SRA3 sheet contains 2–3 solid (flat) colours that repeat across...

Using my Xerox Versant 280, I'm printed a carton pack on a 380gsm Folding Box Board, sheet size 640mm x 320mm using my vacuum fed long sheet option. I'm having a registration problem where the CMYK is perfect at the feeding end of the sheet but by the trailing end its out of fit (see pics). I've...

Apart from using AI within design, does anyone use it anywhere else? I run a digital print workshop using a Xerox Versant 280 & Fiery Command Workstation for digital print, Duplo PFiBlade for flatbed cutting and Vivid Laminator/Foiler as well as other finishing machinery. The only piece of AI...

The join on our PFi Blade B3+ conveyor belt is starting to fray and come apart (see pic attached). Has anyone managed to re-join this part successfully themselves. I tried using webbing tape but that doesn't hold very well. I need to use some glue and fabric tape but I'm not sure which one...

I've digitally printed a 32 page A5 landscape wine menu book which has been Gloss laminated on the outer cover with 300gsm Cover and 170gsm Text which has been fold, stitch, trimmed. The book is put on a table at a hotel and the customer flicks through, reading the history of each drink. This...

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. The ebay roll used completely different settings but it worked well and I'm wondering where I can find a supplier (32mm wide with a minimum of 100m...

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. Both sheets have a solid blue background and they are then duplex glued back to back and after 24 hours I guillotine to A5. Front side looks excellent with nice...

When I'm about to put some sheet through for creasing on my Morgana Digifold Mk1, I put the feed on switch down and get a message on the display with the letter 'r', this disappears very fast and then a 'h' appears this disappears very fast again and then 'F' appears but nothing else happens. I...

I need to print and make up 10 x A4 landscape bookets (A4 landscape 16 pages on 250gsm Silk). I can print a long sheet on my Xerox Versant 80 and score each sheet if required My Duplo booklet maker is too short to stitch an A4 landscape book, so does anyone have any tips on how I can accurately...

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...

He's an article from this weeks Print Week. We're the first installation in the UK but rather than worrying that we have version 1.0 rather than 1.1, I don't seem to have found any bugs as yet!!!! This cutting table compliments out existing kit which includes a Xerox digital press and Matrix...

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...

When I feed a long sheet (640mmx320mm) through the bypass Tray 5 on my Xerox Versant 80, the Xerox only allows me to print at a maximum paper weight of 177-220gsm but my sheet weight is 300gsm Uncoated. My problem is, I'm trying to slow the Xerox down by feeding at a slow speed on cast coated...

Hi everyone When running solids on an uncoated paper on our Xerox Versant 80 the image still has a shiny finish to it. I'm not expecting to see results as I would get from litho printing but does anyone have any tips on getting as close to a matt look as possible.
