    Baum31.5" Cutter or Challenge 305 Cutter

    We have both of those cutters in our shop. Both are solid machines. On the Baumcut side we have had the piston that pulls the knife back up after the cut blow out on us about 4 times. Not a fun thing to change. The Challenge loves to get sheets stuck under the back gauge. I find that a line...

    XMF or Prinergy

    our install has not happened yet. It is looking like August for us. We decided to move our company to New Jersey so that put a hold on some things. We have a new Shinohara 75, Indigo 7800, Prinergy/Insite and Trendsetter being installed all at once. Fun times ahead.... if i dont blow my brains...

    Xante Warning

    i bought the ricoh version with the enterprise feeder last year. i seriously love this machine. do i have problems with it from time to time? of course just like every other piece of equipment in the shop. what i find best to tell people is that at the end of the day you are buying a copy...

    XMF or Prinergy

    I have looked at the ins and outs of both. we are in the same boat as well. In the end i have decided to go with Prinergy. Prinergy is cheaper both up front and in service. I was quoted $6600 annually for prinergy and $9800 for XMF. That XMF contract does include $1500 annually for PackZ's...

    Rampage v13 to XMF or Prinergy.

    I think we are going with Prinergy. I do feel after all i have seen, Prinergy does have more to offer. And I am not seeing the high cost of ownership with Kodak. It seems they have changed some things and made the product more in line price wise with the competition. My quote from Fuji for XMF...

    Rampage v13 to XMF or Prinergy.

    Not really Rich. I have been a fuji customer for a long time so that just seemed the likely way to go. To be honest i never really looked into the others because i just assume prinergy would be the likely alternative to rampage. I was not even going to look into prinergy until i took the webex...

    Rampage v13 to XMF or Prinergy.

    Hi Mjetzer, Thank you for your response. What was your experience like with XMF? I am leaning towards prinergy but i really would like to at least give xmf a shot.

    Rampage v13 to XMF or Prinergy.

    What do you guys think. I have sat through demonstrations on both and it seems to me that Prinergy is far ahead of XMF. My fuji rep keeps telling me all of the Kodak horror stories and i know that is a sales tactic but i do not have any experience with Prinergy or Kodak but i also know a lot of...

    Edge printing????

    We edge paint all the time. Seems as though this is a big secret and not much info out there about it but i think we figured it out. We Cut - Clamp - Sand - Airbrush. It will take some practice but its a nice touch on high end letterpress work.

    Indigo 5500 ink scratching

    We suffer from the same issues as anyone who owns an indigo. Ink scratching/picking/scuffing. We have tried AQing the sheets afterwords to see if this would help but no it does not. UVing the sheets is really the only option and i wish they would have told me that before i bought the machine but...

    RGB to CMYK conversion through prinergy connect

    We run everything through a color server (Alwan). It is early binding and apart from the workflow but i am amazed at the job it has done for us.

    Imposition Upgrade or New Imposition

    I have recently upgraded to Rampage V12 as well and i am using dynastrip for imposition. I dont hate it. I dont love it. It does what its supposed to and it was very easy to learn. It wasnt even my choice at the time as Fuji pretty much gave it to us when we bought Rampage new. Ive upgraded it...

    Rampage beachball

    We are now upgraded to v12 from v11 and have never experienced this issue. The speed increase with v12 is absolutely amazing, but even before the upgrade things ran rather smooth without any real holdups. v11 was running on a Quad Core Rip/Server combo and now that box is a dedicated server with...
