We're in the same boat. To upgrade one RIP shooter, upgrade RAMProof Direct, one Rampage FireCore Workstation Platform, one day on-site install ($1800...what a joke), and, of course, the must-purchase-you-don't-have-a-choice one year Rampage Support Contract ($1750...another joke), the grand...

My two cents worth My two cents worth We, too, are a traditional commercial print shop running four sheetfed presses along with a full finishing department (saddle stitch as well as perfect binding). We installed a Xerox 700 the end of June on a trial basis. In roughly 2-1/2 months of run time...

The problem with your statement is that we specifically asked more than one Xerox rep about using our own stock and their response was "Suuuuuuuure, you shouldn't have any problem with that at all!" But once we got it on our floor suddenly their tune changed.

Avoid the X700 at all costs!! Just run a search for it on this board and see the comments. We had one on trial over the summer and rejected it when the trial period was up. Nothing but problems. Registration bounced all over the place. Color consistency during the course of a run was iffy on a...

Xerox talks a good game Xerox talks a good game We had the 700 in our shop for about 2 months on trial. Nothing but trouble! Registration bouncing everywhere, color shifting during the run, ssssslllllloooooooowwww just to name a few. If we had any kind of sizable run (1000 or more) you could...

Where's the "not sure" button? LOL I've got my badges, just not sure if I'm going to be able to afford to go or not. With the economy the way it is my employer has already stated that reimbursement for mileage, parking, food, tolls, etc. is unlikely.

Nope Nope We've been running Preps on Macs for over four years and have never had that happen. Good luck!

Removing the ICC tags through Pitstop has always worked really well for me.

We just made the switch to CTP from film this year also. We've been using Rampage and Preps for several years. I really, really like both applications. Highly recommended. As far as the CTP, we looked at Kodak, Screen, Fuji (which sells a Screen machine and then rebrands it), Agfa and...

We've had our CTP for about 5 months now and the pressmen say the registration is GREAT now that we're punching our plates inline.

Alan, we occasionally require film output also. We use a supplier out of St. Joseph, MI called Type House, Inc. Very knowledgeable and friendly folks there. Not a fly-by-night organization. They've been around since the early 1960's. Contact Rick Rock at 269-983-7704 or [email protected]...

Quality control person Quality control person I've run the quality control person idea up the flag pole several times. The response I've consistently gotten from our higher ups is that it's "just one more person to blame." Each supervisor is charged with maintaining their department's "quality...

That explains it! That explains it! "'The relentless pursuit of perfection.' I'd like to kill the little son of a #$%@ that coined that phrase." Loweringthebar, that entire post is one of the funniest things I've read in a long, long time. It's now posted in my work space for all to read...

Re: Digital WF - CTP Hi Steven. For me, the CTP question is a fairly easy one to answer since we just recently had our system installed. I'd say our company would classify as a "small printing company" with around $3 million in sales annually. The CTP device was purchased brand new. We...

Re: White lines out of preps? I know we used to get something that sounds similar to this if we placed EPSs in Preps instead of FPOs.
