    Best Synthetic Paper for Ricoh Pro C7200S?

    I don't have a Ricoh, but we run Nekoosa Synaps on our Canon and it always prints extremely well. The only issues I have with it are static, but otherwise I've never needed even needed to make stock adjustments.

    KM 14000 sheet size

    The spec sheets says you can only do that size simplex. You're not trying to duplex, are you?

    Printing variable data envelopes

    I think he's just collecting it elsewhere. For example, our shop charges type time and database time for the setup, but we wouldn't charge more for the printing since it's an identical workflow to a static run.

    One-third of U.S. newspapers as of 2005 will be gone by 2024

    I rely entirely on NextDoor for my local news. Thanks to Karen, now I know all of my neighbors are thieves, pedophiles and likely armed.

    Hand fed booklet makers

    To add to Ynot, I've never met a tech that liked in-line accessories. Unless it's made by the printer manufacturer, your tech will likely have next to no experience on the in-line parts if they need service. Also, if your bookletmaker is broken so is your printer, even if the printer is fine...

    Ricoh 7100 - blue light blinks but does not print

    Yeah, a reboot of the Fiery and a full shutdown of the engine and power back up. Sometimes it will flush out whatever was making it hang up.

    Who makes 100% White Brightness Paper

    We just carry 11x17 Hammermill for the calibration. We have a C750 and an Imagepress 10000 and they have only ever needed the 11x17.

    Guillotine blade supplier

    I just asked my LA Grinding delivery guy and he said they'd sell to Alaska. He said they even have a client in Guam.

    Rating Tech Support

    They'll be rating my support on a scale of 1-10. 1-9 being abysmal, and 10 being acceptable. Please give me a 10, or I won't be eligible for the bonus they keep dangling in front of me, but I've never met the metric for.

    So... I knew I was going to regret it!

    We're with Canon and it's not much different at times. Toner machines have a lot of points of failure, and sometimes when it rains it pours. I recently had a primary fuser rebuilt, then our ITB had defects so it was replaced, and now I need another primary fuser roller because something dinged...

    We order from a custom tab company called Tabs Etc. They're always quick for us.

    Xerox 700i for Sale in Los Angeles $1500

    I'm not sure I'd pay $150 for a used Xerox 700. That machine wasn't impressive new.

    Printing Tabs - Straight or Reverse

    My b&w printer needs straight collated tabs so that's what I order. We also typically use 6 bank tabs. They don't have a center, so it's easier to re-use them.

    Versant 280 Polyester Issue

    We use Synaps XM instead of Poliprint, but the Synaps paper guide says run it single sided one pass at a time and set the stock profile to "Film". It also says 14pt is untested on the 280, so it may just not be a good fit for your printer. I wasn't able to find a compatibility guide for the...

    edge printing on Xerox V280

    It's super common for the margins to not be even. Sometimes it will bleed or almost bleed on one side. There might be some adjustments you or the tech can do, but I've seen it happen on Xerox, Canon and KM printers, so it's not unique to your equipment. I haven't used a Fiery in a long time...

    Polar 92 EMC Cutting Machine's Cutting Light Fuse

    I know this is old, but that's what we did on our cutter. I just used one of those cheap ones that goes underneath kitchen cabinets. It has a little switch on it so I can turn it off when the cutter is idle so it doesn't burn out. I just used double sided tape to stick it near the existing bulbs.

    Does Anyone Have the Duplo DBM-150 Face Trimming Unit

    As small as the machine is, I was honestly surprised the face trimmer is an add-on. We got ours with the face trimmer last November and it's done a good job. You occasionally get a crooked trim, but that's my experience with most booklet makers. Sometimes you just get a bad feed here and there.

    The Negotiation

    Oddly enough, JC Penny tried this and it basically put them out of business. American's are so conditioned to sales, that when someone prices something at the actual price they assume it's a poor product. Can There Ever Be a Fair Price? Why Jcpenney’s Strategy Backfired
