    Looking at buying used Konica C8000

    We have been running a Konica C6501 since 2009 and have started looking at upgrading. We really like the new Konica C1085, but it is out of our price range. So we've been offered a used Konica C8000 instead. I've uploaded the setup we are looking at getting, we might be missing a stacker on the...

    Bizhub c6501 stops periodically

    We've got a bizhub 6501 with almost a million clicks on it. Lately it just stops printing in the middle of a job and requires someone to push the blue start button. There are no jams. Once you press the button it starts right back up and continues until the next time it randomly needs someone to...

    Nexus Calibration

    We currently run Nexus 9.0.3, and aren't interested in upgrading anytime soon. That being said we are looking for a Nexus guru who can quote us what it might cost to come in and get our presses calibrated, we aren't sure we can afford it this until we know the quote. We believe our curves aren't...

    So I have Nexus Manager 9.0.3, it happens very rarely, but sometimes we have an errant RGB image/color get through into the final pdf that we rip for the plates. This obviously causes a horrible end result. I have checked the box (Fail on RGB images) shown on the attached file in my workflow...

    KM-c6501 Printing Faster?

    Is it just me, or is my KM-c6501 printing faster these days? Before sheets would come out in 2's usually (2 sheets, wait a while, 2 sheets, wait a while...etc.) Now it prints with no pauses in between, the pages just come out at a steady pace. Was there some kind of EFI Fiery update maybe?
