    Canon 6000vp Magnetic Stock

    No magnetic stock in Canon... No magnetic stock in Canon... We could never get any to feed in a 7000VP and were told that the ultrasonic sensor used in the double sheet detector does not like it. We run 15mil unmagnetized Bravo through our Xerox 8000 pretty well though the feeder tears...

    Canon 7000VP Yellow Dots

    I haven't seen a problem of this magnitude on the 7000VP and we've put over 1mil clicks on it in 9 months. Mainly coated stocks, from 70# text to 120# cover. What I have seen is a lot of toner speckles along the edges of the sheets caused by all of the loose toner and developer in the press -...

    Canon 7095 or 7105, anyone got one?

    We installed a 7105 back in 11/08 and ran 500K prints on it in 6 months without a single service call. Great machine - we use it mainly for jobs that need a corner stitch or punched for coil bind. The coil punch alone has probably already covered the payments in labor costs saved from not having...

    XMPie uImage vs. DirectSmile

    You may also want to check out DirecType. It's only 399 euros (was about $600 when we bought it but who knows now...) and is pretty powerful for the money. We looked at demos of DirectSmile and uImage but couldn't justify the cost. I've done a few jobs with DirecType and it's already paid for...

    Xerox Igen Speeds

    iGen speed iGen speed Any time you go longer than 19.5", you cut the throughput by about 1/6th. Even though the press doesn't slow down you can only fit 5 images on the length of the photoreceptor belt instead of 6. Depending on the type of stock at that weight, you may also have to turn on...

    Cannon 7000 and Ricoh c900
