I have two Canon/Oce 135s that use PRISMAsync instead of a Fiery. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I can probably help you. We've had Oces for years so we know their print server pretty well.

We have a plate punch and a Standard table top folder.

jrsc, I agree and we do that when we can. However, most customers like the heaviest stock they can get, like 14pt, and we don't have the capability to do that on our digital equipment.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into Rena. That sounds like a good place to start.

Thanks Mail Guru. Yes, I meant an inkjet addresser to put the address, barcode etc. on a preprinted postcard. Our volumes are usually in the 2500 - 5000 range per mailing, doing about 10 of those mailings per month. We use Accuzip now and usually provide our mail house with the paperwork, etc...

We're looking to bring some of our mailing inhouse. Specifically, postcards that are printed on 14 pt coated stock, sometimes with aqueous. Any suggestions on what machines we should look at? Also, will we need dryers or anything else?

Tried sending the ppml file today. Went off without a hitch. It was so much faster this way. Thanks so much for the help.

Oh, ok. I thought you meant you didn't use FusionPro at all. We also create the pdf in InDesign and add the variable in FusionPro. I guess that it the point where we would generate the ppml file. I think I get it now. Thank you so much for your help.

Really, so you don't use FusionPro at all? How do you prepare the variable data?

Thanks dabob. We're upgrading to the C75 in a few weeks, so I'll make sure to get the Xerox trainer to go over that with us. Do you create the pdf's that you send to the operator with FusionPro?

Thanks. I appreciate your help.

dabob, We create the static master in Indesign, but convert to pdf. Send that to the Xerox as a master page. Then we create the merge data using Fusion Pro, which creates a pdf file to send to the rip (we use a Fiery EX) and marry it with the static master. That way it doesn't have to rip the...

dabob, we're sending pdf.

We print a newsletter every month with the address block and sometimes a couple other spots with vdp. We have a Xerox 700 that we usually send the static data to and then create a document with the vdp using FusionPro. We've done this for years. This month, when we send out the vdp to print on...

Check out prepresstraining.com. They have some pretty good courses.

Our Xerox 250 is coming off lease and we are considering replacing with the Xerox 700 or the Canon 6000. The Canon would end up costing about $25,000 more over the life of the lease. We run about 25,000 impressions per month, mostly duplexed on heavy stock. Any thoughts on which machine would be...

We run Oce 2110's and have also had good luck with Xeroform, but then we tried a new brand called Scotchmark Uniform by Imation. It runs great and we don't have any trouble running the press paper which is much cheaper than the digital. We also have a 252 but have never tried to run ncr on it...

Thanks so much. I'll give it a try.

We run Oce 2110's with their proprietary RIP (which isn't very good to be honest), but it works well with tabs. We looked at the Xerox 4110 before we decided on Oce, but the tab handling didn't seem very good. I believe all tabs had to go through the bypass (unless they've changed that now). We...

We do this kind of work all the time. I don't believe the bustled rip is robust enough to do that kind of work. We use Oce and Xerox and both have tab functionality in the rips, like the tab wizard that was mentioned. Having the tabs printed and inserted would make that job run so much quicker...
