    Ricoh C901; PTR Shock

    The printing company that I work for purchased a Ricoh C901 about four months ago. We had been running an Indigo series 2 press but decided to look for an alternative due to the high cost of the impression count customer charges as well as the fact that these series 2 presses will no longer be...

    Toner based machines and contact lens wearers.

    Currently running a Ricoh C901. It's a heavy production model that's toner based and situated in a room with less than adequate ventilation.

    Hey Folks, Just got word that we need to try a 12pt magnet stock on our Indigo 3500. Haven't seen the stock yet. Anyone have any experience with this? Sounds a bit counterintuiative, with all the charged components and such, no? Hope I don't wind up frying my press!

    Preps - Can't select independent page!

    I've been using Preps for a couple of years now and can't figure why it is, sometimes, that once an independent page has been created in a template and crop marks have been added, that it becomes impossible to select it in order to edit it.
