Take a close look at Xitron's Sierra platform. It's the same as Fuji's XMF…but without being tied to a hardware vendor. I agree with cosmo's comment above, it'll do all you need for much less money. I've bought it once with one organization and am trying to do it again now with another…no...

I used one for several years also, no problems editing the PDFs afterwards or adjusting the trap settings. Both are fast, easy, elegant and cost-effective. I highly recommend the Fuji XMF / Xitron Sierra RIPs!

I bought Xitron's Sierra as a modern shop-wide and highly capable RIP where I last worked. It's got the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) so it renders transparencies well, traps, imposes and has a great user interface…all in one. It was nearly as good as all the big platforms but at a much...

I'm about to add a latex printer as well and will need a RIP. HP says that most folks go with PosterShop but wonder what others are using and what their experiences are like? Anyone willing to share? Is Caldera better? I used to have an Epson GS6000 which came with the ColorBurst RIP...

Dov, We've needed to modernize our recommendations above X-1a for some but have not done so because of the myriad different types of files we see. For all the print service providers reading this forum, can you recommend a test file so we can evaluate how our "modern RIPs" will perform? Since...

We have one of the Press Specialties C-9000 envelope feeders for our BaumPrint 18 (QM-46) as well. We run 30M envelopes per day all the time. It's not a flawless piece of machinery but it's a great improvement to the QM-46/BP-18 press and would highly recommend them. Without this feeder...

We'd love it! We'd love it! Drewstre, I run the printing center at a University in Little Rock, AR. We have occasional use for high-res scanning and occasional dot-scanning and would it if it still works! I've also got a big truck where to make picking it up easy, too. What do you think...

We Do This All The Time Too... We Do This All The Time Too... We have a 52DI and print lots of forms, letterhead, envelopes and pre-printed shells which are all overprinted later. As the poster said earlier, this is an offset press with traditional inks and papers...the only difference is...

Océ All The Way! Océ All The Way! I had a similar position when I took over a printshop 3.5 years ago, although we were averaging around 800K per month with low months around 250K and peak months around 1.2K. We were doing lots of bindery work after printing and had been happily running a...

New Horizon Owners! New Horizon Owners! CSimpson, Thanks for your very timely follow-up on this thread. We received shipment of the machine on Monday morning and finished training on it yesterday...what a fast and furious week it's been! We got the Horizon system with two of the Vac-100...

Thanks so much for your help CSimpson! I've found many similar things in carefully reviewing them and getting information from a variety of sources. My initial conclusion was that the Horizon was noisy and "mechanical-sounding" which couldn't be good long-term...but people say they're...

We use a Xitron Sierra workflow and absolutely love it! It's extremely fast, RIPs live transparencies with ease (although live transparencies on spot colors still fails...just doesn't crash or cause problems), the imposition is extremely fast and easy to use, the trapping is as fast and...

Duplo 5000 vs. Horizon Vac 100 & SPF/FC-200A Duplo 5000 vs. Horizon Vac 100 & SPF/FC-200A I'm in a very similar position and am stuck comparing two very capable machines. Can anyone give me any particular things to look at, check out or compare? We do some traditional short-run work from our...
