We have a 242 and a 550 in our shop and we had a lot of problems with the 550. I would give it a try for a month and decide for yourself. The panel interface is really nice and very easy to navigate.

We are having similar issues with this printer. I think it's the fact that it's a gen 1 printer and they are still working out the bugs. It should handle 4000 prints a month on heavy stock with full color coverage. You should contact your rep and ask him about it. You might want to ask him...

It's been a few months since the Xerox Color 550/560 has been out and I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on it. We have one in our shop with a Creo front end and we get fault codes on the machine frequently. Our rip also seems to freeze and drop the connection. Has anyone experienced...

one of the ways we judge the quality of our paper is by the white point. We also look for a manufacturer guarantee that the color of the paper will not drift by more than 1 or 2 deltaE. We look that there are not a lot of UV brighteners. I think if you get a special light and shine it on the...

Yeah I think you are right sgirard. Now that I think about it we had to print out the Cyan channel first and then we sent the cyan sheet to Mark. He then told us what size rings and what line screen we should use. Then we printout out the CMYK and got our curves. He said he tell us right...

We tested concentric here at our shop for a bit but we never really took it anywhere. But I distinctly remember making our own curves for it using the idealink software. Mark Samworth would be the guy to talk to at EskoArtwork. He's the godfather of concentric.

It will handle gradients from Photoshop great!! In fact, if you know what you're doing, you will get really smooth transitions. It's the vector gradients that come from indesign or illustrator that give it problems. I hear that BlackMagic 4 is coming out soon. Maybe they have fixed the few...

We import PDF's into Artpro and then trap in Artpro and then we convert the artpro file back to a PDF. One issue, off the top of my head, are gradients. Specifically gradients that are set to a angle besided 0 or 90. It will convert them into CT. I'm not sure if the latest Artpro still has...

Well if you are looking for ease of use then BlackMagic is probably not as user friendly as it should be. If you are looking for an inexpensive rip that has excellent color control and that will drive all your printers with no problem then I would go with BlackMagic 3K plus an iMac 1200 that...

Hello, I'm curious with what you decided to go with. We used GMG for a while for 1 printer and I really hated it. We threw that rip away and decided to use BlackMagic. We are now driving 9 printers with 1 BlackMagic rip at no extra cost per printer. We paid around 3 grand for it and it...
