    FOR SALE (UK) Intec / Morgana FB8000MK3 Pro with auto feeder - NEW

    I bought this a few years back direct from Intec but mid way through setting it up, our business changed to the point that I never finished setting it up and so it's unfortunately never been used. The feeder still has its zip ties in place and the included compressor is still sealed in its box...

    SOLD - VIPColor VP700 and Eclipse Roll Label Finisher

    I’m aware this forum is mostly non-uk but I know there a handful of UK printers in here so thought it might still be worth posting this. We are moving away from printing rolls of labels so are looking to sell these two machines (either separately or together as a bundle). The VP700 printer...

    Dirt on the Lower Fuser Roller (Xerox Versant)

    For those that are familiar with Xerox machines… We have a Versant 80 and it’s leaving black marks on prints. We have recently fitted a new fuser belt assembly so know that’s all good and a tech we know said it sounded like the lower fuser pressure roller starting to disintegrate so we replaced...

    Drum, Developer or Developer Housing (or something else)? Xerox Versant 80

    I've got a Versant 80 that I've been running off contract since the dealer pulled support following Xerox EOL'ing the machine and so far have been fine with it. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a blue tint to the one long edge of every sheet I printed. Swapped out the blue drum and it's been fine...

    Anyone know where this wire goes on a Duplo DC-445 (or have a service manual they can share)?

    My Duplo DC-445 cut out the other day while the input bed was lifting and it's been completely dead since. I decided to take a look at it today and there's two PSU boards (I'm assuming) which look virtually identical. One board was loose and not screwed down while the other board is firmly...

    Aqueous Printers for Stickers?

    In our shop we have two Mimaki CJV150's that are both toast. The one just needs a new printhead/dampers/etc whereas the other one needs a new board as well as ink leaked and blew a fuse. We typically have a very good Christmas period and so tend to buy any new equipment in January/February so...

    Replacing my memjet label printer - Is the Epson the way to go?

    I've mentioned before (on here and on other forums) about my frustrations with my label printer. I have a model that's the same machine as the Afinia L801 (just badged different) which uses the Memjet printhead. In terms of print quality, I'm pretty happy with it, the only thing that bugs me is...

    Black toner all over prints…is it bad developer?

    Not come across this before but printed a load of 350gsm card today with a white background and noticed a grey hue on the white areas. When I looked closer it’s like black specks of toner all over the sheet. Is this likely to be bad developer or is there somewhere I can clean to clear this up...

    Xerox Versant 80 Maintenance... How difficult is it?

    So.... our Xerox service provider has dropped us in it. Because Xerox have end of life'd the Versant 80 in the UK as of 31st December 2024, our service provider are now refusing to service our machine, despite us having 4 months left on our service contract. We are going to be seeking legal...

    Mimaki CJV150 vs HP Latex 335?

    I’ve got a Mimaki CJV150 that has a shot printhead (admittedly due to having not using it enough…lesson learnt). I’ve had a quote for having the printhead and cap top replaced and looking at roughly £2.5k as long as nothing else needs replacing. I’ve also had a look at some refurbished HP...

    Is it just me? Am I unlucky?

    I've posted before about the fact I used to have a Konica C3070 and decided to sell that about a year ago and kept my Versant 80, and how much I regretted that decision. However, I am constantly having issues with the Versant 80 and it's driving me insane. Countless issues with lines/streaks in...

    Are J75's still worth buying?

    On my quest for a 'backup' printer, I had been looking at the Xerox C60's but I've come across a J75 with 1.6m on it, external fiery, a single high cap feeder and a pro booklet finisher at the same price a C60 would cost for the engine alone. Just wondering if it's likely to be a better buy than...

    Xerox C60 or Ricoh C5200s?

    Looking for another press to keep as a backup as we are getting busier and when our Versant 80 goes down for a week and a half, it puts us in a real bind. Looking at our options (a bit cash strapped at present) and we can get a Xerox C60 or a Ricoh C5200s within our budget. Both machines...

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    As I’m quite new to using Xerox machines, I am still learning and trying to identify issues myself so that when I need to arrange service, I can tell them what the issue is so they can come equipped with the part (our service tech is a third party tech so our dealer supplies the parts rather...

    How do you store custom paper sizes on Versant 80?

    Printing a lot on SRA4 (225x320mm) sticker paper at the moment and the Versant 80 doesn't auto detect the correct size as it doesn't have SRA4 as a set size. So, I'm having to set a custom paper size each time I put SRA4 paper in the printer. There's a button as shown below for 'Preset Custom...

    Are Mimaki Eco Solvent Printers Any Good??

    Just a bit of a rant really. I have two CJV150's which I bought used for printing stickers. I cannot for the life of me get a solid colour without some form of 'diffusion'. So, my question is are Mimaki Eco Solvent printers just terrible quality in general (at least the CJV150's) or is it likely...

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

    Does anyone here have a Xerox and actually like it? I posted a while back about the conundrum of whether to sell my KM C3070 or my Xerox Versant 80, and in the end, the higher resale value on the KM and the fact my Xerox had the booklet finisher and square fold trimmer swung it for me and so I...

    Konica vs Xerox?

    Just for curiosity more than anything… Out of these two manufacturers, which do you prefer? Thinking of the Konica C4080/Versant 280 kind of product range rather than the higher end models.

    Toners for Konica C3070 - Confused

    To date we've always had our konica on a service contract but we need a yellow toner quicker than Konica can get one to us. The 'proper' part for the Konica C3070 is TN619Y (A3VX255). Had a look on ebay and there are a lot of TN619Y toners but with different codes such as A3VX256 (which says...
