We are looking at one now. I'm curious about print head life. And what is the duty cycle? When we all talk consumables, what are they for the 1175P? I mean we know the ink and the print head, but is there anything else. We currently have two Mach 6 styles machines, and they are WAY better than...

When we were doing this, we used Windex with Vinegar. It works well.

You may have an issue with the sensor that measures the ink levels. On the carts on the end that goes into the unit, there is a "window" that shows the level of ink. It could be dirty. Or the sensor in the unit could be dirty too. Check both and clean them both to see if that helps. We've had...

The one I hated the most from our Kodak tech was "it's within spec" when referring to the backup or registration. And then he would ask if we are using certified paper.

Someone brought up the point about Quark vs Indesign, when Quark was the 5,000lb bully. Adobe had just bought Aldus RagePageMaker and Freehand. Then took PageMaker made it more user-friendly and renamed it Indesign. And it took over Quark's clunky design and useability. This is where Canva can...

I do remember ALAP. They had quite a few very good plug-ins back in the day. And I remember when Quark assimilated them. I was not happy.

We have two Mach 6 and had the Mach 5 before it. I have seen the sample pack, not a highlight of the quality that these units can do. But it does showcase the different media you can print on. Except for coated stock. And as far as black imprints, we do hundreds of these types of jobs with...

We have Fiery on both of our Ricohs. We do not use the Fiery's Adobe PDF Print Engine to print, unless there is an issue with it printing our PDFs. Maybe with your new install, the tech turned that on by default. And maybe that is what Ricoh support is talking about when they mean print using...

That would never happen.

I have not run an iJetColor but on a Memjet there is a "Purge Bar Position" that we have had to adjust to get our presses to be able to full bleed. It is basically telling the press where it can purge the heads between sheets/envelopes. And we just needed to move it a bit further away from the...

Fred is the innovator and you're just a copy. And now they "don't" have any extra money for copies. Fred is paid more, so he can do more now too. Never threaten to do anything, either do it or don't.

I, for one, no longer see Pantone as a standard.

Sometimes it is also just helpful knowing you are not alone in your struggles.

Yes, we are located in the US. And you fill out our request for a quote here, because if you send it direct to me, I would give it to one of our sales people who would need your contact info anyways. As I'm in prepress and tech. And you can ask to see samples in the special notes field too. We...

We have an HP Indigo and I have seen many pieces that we have printed on black/red/other colored stocks that look quite good. But as another posted stated, you need to lay a white base down first. Pretty easy to do actually. I'm not sure of the stock we printed on but with the addition of a...

Have you checked the manufactures support forum? There's is pretty good. You will have to register to get access. Just checked the site and it has a section called Colex SharpCut Training Course. Direct link to the support page.

If you are using the software mColor which uses a Harlequin RIP called Navigator, I would try contacting the manufacture of that software direct. They are call Xitron and they have a forum you can use to get some help. They might be able to help you out. I do not go through our hardware...

Wait till the Christmas cards arrive and you judge the people by the quality of paper/printing/ink or toner, and then you start guessing what machine it was run on. Or even smell it. Than you know you have problems. Oh wait, we are printing, we already know we have problems. ;)

@chriscozi I'm impressed. I might have the Blue book still. I can't remember. I know that I still have a few books on Postscript.

That's a great idea @DevostD!
