If I did the math right you're charging $2.43/sq foot for the vinyl, that's a great deal just for the printing of the vinyl. Then there's the Coroplast, mounting and delivery. I'd say the customer is getting a very good price for the work you're doing. Cheaper for flatbed printing, but the...

There are other alternatives for outsourcing if it won’t work out for a replacement machine, but I think you should be able to buy/lease something that will work out within your budget and volume. For outsourcing, start with other digital shops in your area. Your best bet would be to talk to...

It has to do with the heating system drying out the air, the more it runs the more moisture it removes. I live in a 120 year old house and it’s challenging to keep the humidity up. No vapor barrier to keep the humidity in and leaky just about everywhere. My other house was a new ranch and I had...

I had the C810 and I would not recommend it for envelopes. It’s okay, but if you print a lot of envelopes I would look elsewhere. I went from a Versant 80 to the C810 and had to have the C810 removed because it wasn’t even close to the productivity level of the Versant for envelopes. Front to...

Yikes, that's expensive! Another day in the life of a printer, it’s never the easy solution. Shrink wrap the building to keep humidity in. :)

A steam humidifier attached to your central hvac would solve the problem. It will trigger your blower to come on whenever the steam unit needs to run. You can also get a standalone steam humidifier. The problem with central hvac installed evaporative humidifiers is that they just can’t put...

There are reputable resellers of Xerox Versants that will sell you a used machine and then help you get service from Xerox. These are normally machines that have been rebuilt so that Xerox can place them into service without wacking you with thousands of dollars of parts that would be needed to...

The density uniformity is going to adjust for equal density from side to side. As a user (not in service mode), if I wanted to adjust the density of toner I would calibrate using Adjust Image Transfer under the Custom Paper Settings. You still should be able to run the Density Uniformity and...

It sounds like you're still in contact with a Xerox dealer, talk to them about a used Primelink C9065 or C9070. They will both run up to 350 gsm. I had a 700 years ago and remember it was painfully slow on heavy card, so the Primelink should fit your volume and speed and not break the budget.

There are two more cables that need to be connected from the Fiery to the engine. One would be labeled C/K and the other would be Y/M and they run from the Fiery to the ports on the back middle of the engine.

That makes sense, a swamp cooling is just a larger evaporative humidifier.

It's pretty crappy that they won't honor the service contract to the end...shame on them!

I have a used CT620 Exa sitting in my shop that has been covered for a few years now. It only has the business card slitters though, but if you're interested I'd sell it for $2,500.

I have a Duplo DC618 and it's a great little machine. Looking at just the specs on the PT 331scc air, it looks like Duplo is a bit better on everything. Job storage is kind of low on the GW, Duplo can store 250 jobs. I believe I have a bit over 100 jobs created and stored now. I like that the...

I did the same thing but didn't feel like modifying the registry, so I just keep changing the date on the update date. Still haven't decided on updating to 11, and hopefully I'll see some more encouraging responses here for updating to 11.

I think it's caused by ink under the head too. If after cleaning under the carriage you still get the same marks make sure that the head isn't too close to the paper, either select a different paper type or go into your media configuration tool and adjust the head height.

I don’t like ultrasonic humidifiers and have had good results using free standing evaporative humidifiers. The evaporative humidifiers won’t dump the same volume of moisture into the air as a larger ultrasonic, but you won’t have to worry about the fine white particles being left behind on...

When I think about servicing my Xerox, I think about the bad toner issue that was blowing out drums left and right. It could have put me out of business if I had to pay for all the drums that I went through. I'm not a high volume user and I would estimate that the dealer has spend upwards of...

The thing I like about Xerox is that they’re not too difficult to service the parts that always seem to go bad and most of those parts are the same as the 180 and 280. There’s always the questionable part of how much time do you really want to devote to learning and repairing. My thought has...

You can see the NCR coating stuck to the metal roller for sure. I don't remember how many sheets it took before the buildup happened but it wasn't in the thousands. The roller can be cleaned but the NCR coating basically gets baked onto the roller. Unfortunately, even though it's metal it can...
