I totally get what you are saying it is just a mental thing when you see a small defect but then you watch it run and you see that defect over and over it starts to look worse and worse in your mind and it drives you insane. One of the best things for me to do is just remember that the average...

LOL that thread is actually what caused me to create this one because they talk a lot about why you need a service contract with a digital press but no one really says why there are not more suppliers. and actually you replied to the comment I left. I figure it is just because Offset has been...

That really speaks to me because we have had that problem at the shop I work at. They are all about quantity over quality and a lot of the old school offset pressman can not wrap there heads around that. Even I have that problem being a younger guy who has only worked in this one shop I still...

So there is something that I have wondered about and I am sure the answer is simple I just don't know it. Why do offset presses have so many third party avenues and digital presses do not? For example it seems almost everyone who owns a offset machine will get all of there service and...

From what I know of our Indigo the service charge and click charge are two different things. We have a yearly service charge that we pay for tech support and parts. The click charge is simply for consumables. I would never consider getting a digital machine without both. My tech is in here...

I guess the owner is just to stuck on halide because I talked to upper management and we have already tried the avenues that you and Nashy mentioned and they just don't like it. So I guess we will stick with halide until it is not available anymore. Which is not a huge surprise they did the same...

I never said there was more than one file. There is only one file but having two names is just another safety net so In the off chance that a book comes back from proof but does not get corrections made either I or the ripper will see that and we can make sure that the file is up to date. I am...

I know where I work the files are named proof first because we send a hard copy proof to all our customers. When it comes back corrections are made and the name is changed to final. Which lets everyone who handles the job know that corrections have been made. As an operator if I have a job that...

So Ricoh finally got back to me they are coming in a couple days to look at our setup and see what we do. One thing I really like so far about them is they are saying they can guarantee that our envelopes will run through there machine which is something canon straight up told us they can not do.

I am a digital press operator and i have been an assistant on older offset machines and i have always been taught that my job is to look for print quality defects. There is a QC person who looks at a hard copy proof of every job I run and it is there job to look for incorrect spelling and...

the website also seems to be pushing it for packaging that is what they are mostly talking about on there. It supposedly can do everything from regular text weight up to corrugated stocks.

I see your point and the more i look into it I think you are right the website is claiming that it will be cheaper than your other digital formats.

From what i can see it seems the selling point of the s10 is that it is SUPPOSED to be the perfect combo of offset and and variable data printing. It appears that it has the speed and quality of a heidelberg with the automation and variable capabilities of the indigo. Now whether or not it is...

I have to thank everyone here for there input i have really gained a lot of knowledge from this. We went and looked at the canon c10000 this past weekend and my boss really seems to like it but we are still a ways away from making a decision. And I am still hoping to get ricoh in here if they...

That is why i am still very much an HP guy we have xerox and Hp machines and yes they both go down. We just had a J75 down for over a week and xerox did not seem to concerned. But when the Indigo goes down if my local tech can't get it up in a day or two Hp will start flying guys in from out of...

I have been a press helper on some old machines and i have had to learn to do a lot of things manually but luckily i have never had to manually spray the paper.

From what I see of your totals i just don't think you have the workload to support the kind of investment you are gonna be making. at the very least you will need a cutter a folder a scanner and a press. We are not talking a small desk size printer either unless you plan on getting a fleet of...

We do 8 1/2 x 14" flap out through the bypass

I am an operator on a Indigo 7500 and we also have a J75. I am by no means an expert when it comes to prepress. But i can tell you that out of the box the indigo is going to print a lot cleaner than the j75. As far as I know we use the same process to send to the indigo as we do to the j75 and...

My company does photographs and we still use silver halide. We use indigo to print books and have looked at it for photos but the problem we run into is they don't have a substrate that mimics photopaper well enough. What has your company done for this or do you not concern yourselves with...
