    Open-source SVG-based data merge engine (Inkscape). Looking for VDP/prepress feedback

    https://ultimate-tech.com/article_support/dutch-cut-imposition-why-its-crucial-in-modern-printing/ A common issue for example is 4x6 postcards only fit 4up on a 12x18 sheet with a standard layout, but if you do a dutch cut (or combo cut) you can do two cards sideways and fit 6 to a sheet. I...

    If you could find an intuitive way to do dutch cut imposition that would be pretty huge.

    Paper woes and Canon

    For what it's worth, I reached out to my own tech and he said he hasn't heard anything about it. He also checked their knowledgebase and there's nothing about Titan paper anywhere.

    Paper woes and Canon

    Techs who blame paper are bad techs. There's nothing wrong with Titan, it doesn't even have an i-tone coating on it, it just says "indigo certified". Funny enough their website even says "Canon tested". Ignore your techs, they probably just need a scapegoat because they can't solve an issue...

    Xerox proficio px500 vs Ricoh c7500

    I think the Ricoh is a much higher class of machine than the PX500, but even if you decide on Xerox, I'd just buy the Fuji Revoria EC2100 since Xerox is just selling the same machine for more with their branding on it.

    Unexpected packaging impact of Iran excursion

    They're gonna reopen the Strait though, and then the gas will flow like never before! Chocolate rations were also increased to 20g! Thank Big Brother!

    Canon IX finishing anomaly

    Canon has a website dedicated to their Inkjet line with forums. You might have better luck there since not many people are running the iX. https://www.thinkforum.com/ Also, unrelated, but your company website is really nice. Props to whoever made it.

    Fiery Ecosystem - please explain...

    1. Right click on your printer in CWS on the left under "Servers", then select "Device Center". It should list all the options for the device. 2. Not 100% sure, but I think it's true. We bought a shop with an Iridesse and Fiery Impose, but our Canon equipment doesn't use Fiery, so I can't test...

    Open-source SVG-based data merge engine (Inkscape). Looking for VDP/prepress feedback

    This might just be me, but I'd rather just have one large PDF. Acrobat has a "split pages" feature, so I don't mind just splitting the final output into x # of pages for my use. My RIP is pretty decent though, so I generally don't split my VDP up unless it's over 10,000 pages. 26 minutes seems...

    Want to upgrade from Xerox Versant 180, recommendations please

    They're both gonna have insanely slow hardware in them anyway. We've got external Fiery on both our Primelink's and it's woefully under powered. Like 8gb ram and an HDD that is abysmally slow. It takes almost 10 minutes to reboot.

    Want to upgrade from Xerox Versant 180, recommendations please

    Depends on what you purchase. I'd suggest something simple like Quite Imposing. It's a perpetual license for a little under $1000. Ask a salesperson if they can bundle it in with your machine purchase, that's what we did years ago.

    Best practices for maintaining color consistency with high-yield cartridges?

    I think if someone wants 10,000 of an item on a toner box they need to set some realistic expectations. At the end of the day, it's a glorified copy machine, not a press, despite all the marketing saying otherwise. If you've got a full flood background on a 13x19 sheet that's 4-2-2-0 that color...

    What is print?

    Art will be fine, he's still got the import-export business he can fall back on.

    Any cloud storage users?

    Seems a little tin foil-y to be so concerned about cloud security when the majority of your files are likely coming in through extremely insecure channels. It's all just security theater at the end of the day, nothing is actually secure.

    Want to upgrade from Xerox Versant 180, recommendations please

    Looks like the ApeosPro C is just the Xerox Primelink C9200. I don't know much about it, but I do know that Canon machine is hot garbage. It's basically an office printer, and I'd never try to use it to sell work from.

    Canon VP140 automatic drum cleaning?

    Sorry I can't help there. I only ran the 6000 and a 4120 which didn't use the newer drums. Did you check for "glue detection interval"? Maybe that needs to be turned on first.

    Canon VP140 automatic drum cleaning?

    Try the system tab, then maintenance on the left. I think it says maintenance tasks and it should be in the list of available tasks. https://docs.cpp.canon/help?tsm=ODP000166-8.1EN.US&pageid=GUID-732BB682-050A-4543-8AAC-385305DB556D.xml That's for manual drum cleaning.

    KM1 Output

    We recently found a printer that's close by that has a KM1 and had a job run there. The output is really fantastic, but it smelled absolutely awful. Another employee and I had a ton of sinus issues and developed headaches from the smell. I even left it in our warehouse for 24 hours with a box...
