    EFI 16h printheads

    We have an EFI 16h and one of the printheads needs to be replaced. We have a service contract but it doesn't cover the cost of printheads (I won't name the vendor to save that discussion for another time). We have been given wide ranging replacement cost, as high as $22k for a single head. All...

    Weird bricking problem on Stone Paper

    D Ink Man Alois Senefelder The stock is: Stone Paper Solutions RP120 Micron Text. (approx .0047" thick) The paper is made from calcium carbonate, recycled concrete and a small amount of high density polyethelyene. I believe the mill is offshore, sheeted and then shipped to North America. Ink...

    Weird bricking problem on Stone Paper

    @turbotom - Job ran on a 3 year old Komori 29" press with Spectrophotometer and ink adjustment. The opacity issue was on a job we ran a week earlier, so opacity wasn't a noticeable factor in this job. I understand where you are going with the question. However adjustment of the ink density...

    Weird bricking problem on Stone Paper

    Alois Senefelder - Even though the multiple rolls come from one original roll, the every-other-sheet different results sure make it seem like there is a difference between the rolls used at the sheeter. I don't know enough about the intricacies of the paper making process, but would you rule out...

    Weird bricking problem on Stone Paper

    Thanks Turbotom. That is the only logical conclusion I can come up with. I can't wrap my head around any other cause.

    Weird bricking problem on Stone Paper

    Konica 1085 - Creo Hot Folders dropping

    Thanks for your feedback. Since we haven't had any other networking issues with any of other software, I'm not ready to just blame it on the Mac OS. Seems to me there has to be a Creo problem in this mix.

    Konica 1085 - Creo Hot Folders dropping

    We recently put in a Konica 1085 with a Creo Rip. We are able to ping the Rip from all of our prepress workstations (mostly Macs). Over time, the hot folders become unaccessible by all of the workstations except 2 stations that are have OS Yosemite on them. Other workstations have slightly...

    Kodak Sonora plates, Komori Press

    We are starting to run the Kodak Sonora plates, switching from Sword. We have to run our waters up on high to have minimal scumming. And most times we have to stay on high to run because of scumming. We are told that the form rollers pull off the non-image area emulsion and is supposed to come...

    Business card diecutting

    I have a customer that wants large quantities of business cards with 4 rounded corners. We have always done this by diecutting on a windmill. This customer freaks out over the tick marks required to hold the cards in place before punching out. We have tried several ways, including sanding the...

    Better to have one vendor or two vendors

    We currently have a Xerox 4110 and a Xerox 700. We are looking at adding additional equipment and are shopping all of the vendors. It seems to me that if we were to purchase equipment from a second vendor (and keep the Xerox's), we would benefit by the additional capabilities and idiosycracies...

    xerox 700-color calibration procedure

    Does anybody have a standard calibration internal procedure they would be willing to share. We get inconsistent results on our 700. Run a one-off proof today and tomorrow the color is quite different. Exact repeat of a job from last week and the color is significantly different. We are...

    Fusion Pro rule I need help on

    I know you don't want to manipulate the data, but my pea of a brain would make 7 columns of data, and column 1 would feed coupon 1. Column 2 would feed coupon 2, etc.
