After the Training we received today from a KM Trainer I now think you will need to have a KM Trainer show you the extra features which allow more control over all stocks as well as textured stocks and Linen Board.

For the PVC gloss electrostatic stock I didn't do anything other than the norm, I made a paper profile based on a 250gsm gloss stock and printed it. No adjustments to anything manually in the press. The result was very good. For the textured stock or any heavyweight stock you can manually...

I'll bite .... We don't have a C1100 but we do have a C1085 which is the same family from KM, same build but with lower print speed of 85 copies a minute instead of 100 copies a minute. Textured card I have used is a Conqueror Brilliant White Laid stock I have no problems with. We trialled a...

We have used an Epson 9880 for the last 6 years and its still going strong. We purchased it new with no support from anyone, no one knew how or what to do to fix or how to operate it. So steep learning curve later it still runs with no servicing, no head replacement and no problems. I suppose I...

Well it had to happen, it was only matter of time before we had to log a Service Call. We had a small problem with the FS532 Finisher Unit which produced an error message resulting in halting production on the press. The press was down for about 30 minutes until a technician arrived. If happens...

We considered a fully reconditioned KM8000 down here on island but we didn't go down that path. I'm a bit bitter and twisted over the 700i we had but it wasn't so much the actual print unit but the Hicaps, folder, Square folder that gave us constant grief and when I saw those peripherals on the...

It's coming up to 2 months since the install. We're having a dream run at the moment as I still have not had to log a Service Call yet. There is one 300gsm uncoated stock that I have found won't give solid colour, it prints ok but it just gives a mottled appearance which is the actual stock, but...

5 weeks since the install of Betty Blue. I had a call from the supplier yesterday asking how the digital press was going as I had not logged any service calls for a couple of weeks. I just said the press just keeps on going no matter what stock we run. No errors, no jams now I've adjusted tray 1...

Yes you are right, comparison back to old is unrealistic. I don't see many other printers who have new KM's on Print planet atm. I do see some probs with Versant 80's and Ricoh's in the other posts. Time to push the print button on the C1085 as she done the warmup. We nick-named her "Betty Blue".

Well we're just through 40,000 clics so far, replaced one set of toners during the last 2 days, Would I go back to 700i? Never! We do lots of small jobs so lots of setups but with the Fiery has Impose feature which makes its easy. The paper control we have when setting up the jobs to print...

It's unusually extra cool this winter with lots of snow and frozen roads, black ice. We have a Heat Pump (reverse airconditioner) which keeps temp at 21C in press room. Humidity is 38% today so far. After Christmas the weather will be great.

The Fuji Xerox techies we had used to fix this problem on the 700i we had. But sometimes it was stock related with gloss stocks being the main culprit. There was an upgrade that came out a couple of years ago for Dev tanks fpr 700's which fixed most of the probs. I think the new tank was...

Our volumes were not huge either with our 700i. We did 1.3 million in 3.5 years. Lots of little jobs. Lots of little problems. We didn't want to continue with lots of little problems so when we saw a Versant 80 with similar peripheral devices that our 700i had attached to it we decided not to go...

I'm impressed with the jobs coming out of the C1085 in that when they get to guillotine for trimming they are dead flat unlike the 700i we had with curling and rippling. There is a de-humidifer in the paper drawers and re-humidifier after the print engine. The registration and squareness on the...

Next job was 50 only diecut A4 size labels 12 up. Straight through under a minute. I'll post on this thread how I go with the C1085. It's a huge huge investment for us.

Very good run out of the KM C1085 today. Bit of learning curve from Freeflow to 308 Fiery. First Job was a 48 page programme. Just under 6,000 clics.

The new Digital Press install went well today. All tricked up and ready for use. https://www.facebook.com/RJPUBLISHING/photos/a.225810030770658.65476.203424623009199/1028495533835433/?type=1&theater

Our 700i has it's last day here today. Due to space requirements its out with the old one today and in with the new one tomorrow. It'll interesting with a 56 programme to print Friday arvo on the new one amongst other jobs.

Thanks everyone for posting your comments on this thread. Our replacement Digital Press for our 700i is on its way to us atm. I did some duplexing today on the 700i, 300gsm duplexing in SRA3 size gives me about 7 clics a minute if the 700i doesn't do it's pregnant pause to check something or...

I have a Roland Versacamm 540i VS Series. Its been installed just over 6 months with the first warranty service due this week. The VS does Contour Cutting and Perf Cutting. This machines handles all our sign printing, sticker and label printing, banner printing, large glossy photo printing on...
