Off topic slightly but we have a C6550 C250 & 6204 and Service is fantastic here in Tas!!

That's it, but back in the year 2000 there wasn't a great deal of help to start with until some other Avantra's escaped from Agfa's grasp, not like to today with instant access to CTP engineers and techies for Acento. I keep a log of 149 errors and last one was December last year when Spinner...

When Spinner Motor fails to start its Error 149 and we did turn the spinner mirror manually a few times over the years. I think our Avantra was the second one to come out of Service Contract with Agfa. I remember when it arrived 9 years ago it came with no Agfa Engineers or techies so it was a...

We have an avantra 25. We have had it 9 years. I bought it unseen, but I was very very lucky when it arrived the "Carriage was not Locked Down". As I said I was lucky because the Avantra came to as back freight 2,000km by road and 500km by sea with only damage both carriage restriction arms bent...

No probs yet with the Azura TS plates. Been using them for a couple of months on 46's 52's mo's kords Sorks. regards Rod

We had some pretty ordinary weather here last Friday with the electrical power fluctuating and with all this bad weather down here at the moment I was running the CTP (as you have to) and I got an error message on the control of the Acento stating lost drum pressure now reinitialising. After...

We use a Apeosport C6550 -1 for anything from business cards to 5,000 page manuals. The 6550 is great for short run colour flyers, posters, invites, wedding stationery, anything printed on paper up to 270gsm but NOT good for plastic stock. Rod

Prepress will just keep on evolving imho. I started in 68 as a Hand Compositor, Then a Machine Compositor, then a Compugraphic Typesetter, Then a pasteup & film stripper/colour combiner, then Apple typesetter/graphic designer, Then ripping to an Avantra film setter and now Apogee 6.0 and CTP...

I had a similar problem with carriage stopping in different positions and not going the full length. The small "stepping motors" on the carriage were giving inaccurate readouts so internal computers stopped the carriage. I had two step motors replaced at a cost of $1-2,000 AU and it fixed the...

Thanks Thomas for the info. The customer who requires the ncr paper is not very experienced in printing, copying or paper buying so we have assisted them. It's a BNi referral/assist type of arrangement. regards Rod

The margins in making any profit in this job seem too small for me. I have given xerox info to my client and let them take the risk of buying the stock and getting it to run on their own xerox. The whole IT system is making massive advances in technology, speed etc and I think this customer only...

Thanks Stephen, I found out this arvo that Xerox supply an NCR paper especially for Xerox machines. They tell me it has a grain in it where normal NCR doesn't Rod

I agree there are a lot of possibilities to consider for error 06, Is your film takeup cassette full or damaged or not loading film properly, Are your nip rollers worn. I'd just cut the film with the cutter and put an empty cassette in and try to advance film, or reverse film back off the...

We outsource prepress brochure work, flyers, logos, books etc then value add with film and now plates. No presses here and we've doing for 12 years. Rod
