    Numbering a print job

    You can use indesign, a bit more steps, or montax-imposer.com, works well. $275 for one seat as a plug in. However it only works with 32bit acrobat. The is a problem with windows 11.

    Konica vs Xerox?

    If you run envelopes, and don't want to open the flaps, then the xerox 180. They both do good registration, but the konica takes about 7 clicks to get your paper registered front to back.

    Networking New Shop/Need assistance!

    I am not a pro, but have set up our shop. First thing is get a 20 to 30 port switch. Then use shielded cat 6 cables to run to the small 5 port switches where you run machines and work stations from. Do not daisy chain. I would get one or 2 NAS devices that are backed up to the cloud or...

    What to get after Xerox Versant 3100, what is in same class or a bit better?

    We have a v180 from 06.2018 and just purchased a c4080 in 10.22. No 1 gripe is 15 minutes (or longer) of voice mail hell (repeatedly having to supply SN and name, phone number) with xerox to call service, vs 0 to 15 seconds on the Konica. Sometimes I get a call from a konica rep asking if I...

    KM vs Ricoh vs Fuji/Xerox

    After further research, it sure looks like a duplo dc 645 or 646. They do have mostly good reviews on this site. However there are many of them on ebay. I don't see that as a good sign.

    newbie: synchronization of media and image

    I don't think you will get the register you need that way. You would need print alignment marks like you were diecuting, so the next machine could register from that. That is assuming that the material did not streach or distort in some way. The closet thing I can think of is a web offset...

    Justifying Equipment Purchase... Recession... Financing Options - HELP!

    We have a xerox versant 180, and the machine is ok, but the big problem is XEROX's supply chain. I had to spend $1,000 on toner, that they will not reimburse. It was back ordered for 3 months. Then the drums are failing after 10% use. And now I only have 2 cyan toners, and they are back...

    Xerox OHCF Envelope Printing (Versant 180)

    So, after many years with the versant 180, I think I figured out the trick to make it work from Tray 6. Assuming you have the envelope kit, just press the envelops, give it a squeeze, and get the air out. It seems opposite of running from offset press. I just ran 6k booklet envelopes. I...

    Xerox Versant 180, #10 envelopes bleed 2 sides??

    The way I did this is similar to just a printer guy, It helps if your your file has bleeds, then keep adding .1 to your size. Of course feed in non bleed side first. I am using a versant 180

    What did you replace your KM with? I am done with xerox, they have caused me to lose a bunch of money and time. Back ordered toner for ever, bad drums, frequent break downs. On our 5 th year with the versant 180

    Ricoh or Konica

    Any suggestions for a replacement for a xerox versant 180? Between back ordered toner, drum failing after 10%, and the machine can't take more than 12 hours of runtime before something fails.

    Upgrading Versant 180

    We have the v180, on our 5th year, and we cannot get it to keep working longer than 12 hours of run time. I had to buy my own toner because it was back ordered for 3 months. And they will not reimburse me for it. Does anyone use a Konica Minolta?
