I received sample stocks from a paper vendor last week on a digital textured stock. I ran the Linen, Felt and Laid Finishes through our KM and the output was shockingly good. Before this I found one linen stock the would work on this machine and my doc 12. It was by Cambric. I'll see if I can...

We add bleed most times. The exception is usually very short run digital when the cost is a major factor.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I am looking into my options. @Rich I'm hoping to cross the threshold on a CTP system soon. If we didn't have the DPM plating for the small presses and generating the film for the large press it would be a no brainer but, we are getting close. Also when I...

Hi all, We have the oppotuntiy to aquire A screen platerite 4100 with a kodak sword processor and Screen TF running on the Rip(Not sure what version I'll find out tomorrow). The size and speed of the system is fine (Our largest press is 19x25) Assuming the techs who check it out give us an...

I am the digital production manager of a small printing company. We are both an offset and digital shop. On offset we focus primarily on spot color work. Our largest press is a 19x25 Hberg MOZP 2 Color. We don't do much 4c in house because here in the Lancaster/York PA area there are a number...

We have a 6500 with the large capacity trays, Fiery S450 and the basic staple finisher. We did not get the Graphic Arts package. We did however get the spectrophotometer about 90 days in. In my opinion it's essential. Regarding the controller I have been a bit disappointed with EFI lately. We...

Re: Xerox 700 or Docucolour 5000 We are looking at Xerox for B&W and my rep said the 700 was built to compete directly with the Bizhub 6500. I don't know how that will influence your decision but found the information intriguing. Ray

Re: Digital B&W Presses Craig, We actually just did our weighted values to each category. These including Quality, Flexibilty, front end etc. We are now choosing between the Oce' 2110 and the Xerox 4112. It's interesting to us since we didn't even think xerox was a player in this. Ray

After a few month of research we are narrowing our search for a new B&W Digital Press to the KM 1050 E, The Titanium 2110 and a Darkhorse the Nuvera. Does anyone have opinions on these 3 boxes? Are you investing in worflows to go with them? Any suggestions are appreciated. Ray

We are considering moving from a DPM2340 system to a 4Up metal system and are looking for any help we can get. Our currentl press configuration is Itek 960 Ryobi 3302 Heidelberg MOZP Our workflow is to send all jobs to the DPM and output Poly plates for 90-95% of the jobs for the smaller...

Re: Canon c7000 vs KM 6500 We have had our KM 6500. Overall we have been quite happy with the machine. I was badly burned by Canon Color with the 1000 and 5000 Series so I have an inbred bias against them. I would suggest you look at Xerox 5000 VS Km 6500 thread and the CLC 7000 thread. I wrote...

Re: Canon 7000 Dave, You may want to look at a Morgana Creaser. We just picked up a used on and it does an excellent job of minimizing or eliminating cracking on pretty much every stock, with or against the grain. It also sets up a lot faster than any scorer that I have ever used and handles 9...

Re: Docucolor 252 printing 13 X 19 Xerox used to offer a ramp that put the paper on an angle taking the weight of the tail. Our tech told us it was for the 2XX series but it helped sometimes on the Doc 12

Re: Canon 7000 Not to feed the trolls but, I am not a Xerox Shill as I only have a Doc 12 and a Konica Bizhub Pro 6500. I grew up in the CLC family. We ran the 500,700,1100, 1000 & 5000 at my previous job. My experience makes me believe both the good and bad that people are reporting. I can...

Re: Canon 7000 Are people having the same problems with the Kodak rebadge of the machine the M700. I was in Rochester the other day and they went on about how they re engineered the machine and added the ORC concepts from the NexPress. Just curious if it works better. Ray

Re: Quark 7.31 on imac We are running quark on an imac and not having these problems. I would check to see if your RIP is overriding your application settings. We actually do that intentionally so that all film is at 2450 no matter what setting the designer selects. Ray Edited by: Ray on Apr...

Re: Is a Ryobi 3302 (Itek 3985) capable of the odd bit of Process work? The 3302 is an awesome Press. We have run process, envelopes, Letterhead Etc. We are a small shop commercial shop and the 3302 is one of our most profitable pieces of equipment. We use it in a conjunction with a DPM 2340...

Does anyone have a source for the list price of the Oce 6160 with the BLM 300 Booklet maker. No other finishing. We're interested in the technology but feel like we are getting the runaround on Lease rates and Costs. Any help in public or private is appreciated.

Re: konica 6500 -xerox 5000 I'm new to this board but saw this thread and thought I would resurect it. I have been running the 6500 for about 15 months. Before that I ran a doc 12. At my previous job I ran the 2045, the CLC 1000 and CLC 5000. So ihave some experience with Canon, Xerox and now...

Re: Laminating Doc-12 prints When we had our Doc 12 we were doing a huge amount of lainating on coated cover stock with heavy coverage. We were sending out to a local laminating company. They had to use what they called superstick lamination at a significant upcharge. They told us this was true...
