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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

A sale for this machine had been agreed but the dealer has not made contact in well over a week so putting this back up for sale. Konica AccurioPress C3070 3 drawer air assisted feeder FS532 finisher with Hole Punch and Staple modules Integrated Fiery controller Includes 4 brand new Coroners...

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.

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...

I've posted about this in the past in the MIS sub forum, but I am guessing a lot of people don't tend to go in there. I am curious whether you guys use a shop management software and if so, which one? I'm really looking for something that can: - Quote Jobs based on paper costs / print costs -...

I've got the opportunity to buy a Duplo DC646 for what seems like a really good price. I'm just wondering if they're any good. I'm thinking it'll be useful for short run business cards, postcards and greeting cards but at the same time, I already have a full size guillotine so not sure whether...

The lease for our Konica C3070 is up in October and I've given the lease company our 3 months notice that we don't wish to continue the lease. Our aim instead is to purchase the title from Konica as we've done less than 200,000 prints on the machine so it's still a baby (we tend to print higher...

I’ve got a Duplo DC-445 that I use solely for creasing 350gsm greeting cards. It’s my favourite machine in our entire business as it just works, no faffing, just does what it should. However, it has developed a fault where when it starts the process of lifting the input bed to start feeding...

Hey all. I was just wondering if anyone could offer recommendations for a folding machine that I may be able to find used. Are the older Morgana Juniors any good? We don’t do a tonne of folding so I’m not wanting to spend loads but at the same time I need something that’s going to be accurate...

I’m a Konica fan but recently bought a Versant 80 as a cheap(ish) second machine and have no idea how to troubleshoot it haha. Printing some greeting cards and getting this banding on pink and purple. On a Konica I’d say it’s the corona wires but don’t know if it’s just the drum on the Xerox...

Anyone with a Versant 80 experienced all the lights flashing on and off? We only had this installed on Thursday, left it over the weekend then came in today to this. Have tried powering it off at the wall and leaving it for a few minutes but just reverts to the same state when I power it back...
