Hi folks, it's been a long long time since I've posted on here. I'm not one for loitering on the digital print forums any more however we just got this new machine installed at our place and the it's performance has moved me to share! Our old set up was a 700 and a DC260. We rolled the 260 out...

Well, after talking and talking and researching and talking and thinking we've finally gone ahead and got our 700. Contract was signed before Easter and it just arrived today :D Fare thee well DC240.. it's gone to a better place now. Quite exciting seeing the thing cobbled together but...

Hi does anyone have experience running this brand? We're running all Xerox at the moment but are thinking of switching to a new supplier. Any info would be great, gonna get some samples and will report back what I find.

Well, I feel like I've done this dance several times in the past, get a new printer, stick with the old etc - those aul 260s and 240s just keep soldiering on! However this time we've got two new reps joining, with proven track records and pushing the company forwards this year. Now the plan is...

I've been working as a digital dogsbody for about a year and a half now, and although the job is challenging (medium gray halftone, baah not a problem) and has satisfaction (you want it when?!) I sure as hell know that I don't want to be doing it in ten years time! I'm pretty sure the stress...

Hi everyone, I've been researching upgrading our photocopiers (DC240 & 260) to something a bit more substantial, had a look at 5000AP, C6000, M700. Although in the course of my research it got me thinking about the SRA2 / B2 market. There's some noise at the moment about high-quality, high-speed...

Went to a demo today organised by Xerox and a local distributer. To put it bluntly, it was massively underwhelming. /rant on/ Some tasty foods and drinks (although I wasn't there for the food - who cares?) set up in a couple of conference rooms of a local hotel. Along with a 700 with all the...

I know I started a thread a while back, all excited about the 700 that was coming my way. However, the salesmen have been back with an offer not to be refused. A 5000AP and XMPie. My boss has been talking to them for the past few weeks, I was called in today to nail down the final spec of the...

Odd one here.. I was away from my desk doing some folding and when I came back CWS told me that it has lost the connection to the printer. It wasn't doing anything at the time and had run a couple of jobs out fine earlier on that day. Now the b*stard RIP just has "FF" (For F•cksake) where it...

Our contract is almost up with the two machines we've got (DC240 and a DC260, both with about half a mil clicks on) and it looks likely we'll be leasing a 700 soon. Currently the 260 and 240 are owned. Have you any recommendations as to which RIP to get? I've only been in prepress for about a...

We run an Epson 9800 which was 'calibrated' a long time ago (before I joined the company) by running it on different stocks and switching around the bundled profiles until the colour looked right. Since then the stocks we are running on have changed and it's in need of another calibration -...

We found out a couple of days ago that our building is being closed in two weeks - which means we need to find a new place. Obviously that entails moving our 260 and 250 and setting them up again at the other end. We're looking at a place that's more or less a shell at the minute, so we'll be...

Our building has run out of oil, and my elec heater broke yesterday.. It's now so cold that I've resorted to warming my hands with the fuser. IT'S FREEZING.

Hi a quick question, I run a DC260 and a 250, which obviously use fusers. Now you usually get a decent amount of high quality print out of one of these (I switch out to an old fuser if I'm printing on A4, A3 or using it to fold) but lately I've been having the fuser get a little nick taken out...

Hi, I'm curious to know what artefacts people are experiencing with their Fiery RIPS on docu colors. I'm running a 260 and a 250, and the weirdest one I've seen is small hairlines extending along past the edge of postscript objects, has anyone else ever seen this? The engineers are stumped and...

Hi I just found these forums today when doing a bit of research on colour. Had a browse about and it seems like a great resource, lots of people who obviously know what they're talkin about. Your help would be much appreciated in setting up a bit of colour accuracy, skip past the italics if you...
