    Thoughts on the Konica C8000?

    I have a vendor whos 8000 wont handle strathmore 110# bristol 12x18 but another vendor has a 7000 that handles it just fine. i use to have a pair of 6500 and they ran it daily. Any thoughts on on that? Im think its that certain 8000, other 8000s would run it fine. Is there a big difference...

    Konika C8000 or Presstek DI 34/52??

    Well, what are you outsourcing and what are the numbers? what are you printing inside and what are the numbers? what is the possibility of expansion for either new machine.

    Digital MICR printing

    We run a part-time Kodak 110 MICR printer, just got done with a 125000 check run and Im curious what other peoples experiences are with this machine and other micr printers. We also have a little Ricoh 8200 retrofitted to MICR by Rosetta and were planning on bringing in another 110 MICR soon.

    junior pre-press operator_why?

    Yeah, Ive got to agree with SlaveTotheman. There may be a couple junoir operators that are better than the seniors, but that aint the norm. Its been awhile since I was a pressman, I dont even have them in the shop im at now, but its experience that makes a good pressman. By the way printers...

    Richo c901 vs Canon 7000vp

    There is no solving the problem with printing on offset textured papers, it just aint going to happen on this 901. We are going to try some textured digital papers though, I understand they have a coating on them that allow for the toner to better adhere even on textured stocks. Print quality...

    Richo c901 vs Canon 7000vp

    The Ricoh 901 will save you alot of money, run faster, hold a dot and screen better but will not run textured paper worth a dime. quality goes down alot once your not running digital type papers. It dont like offset papers!

    Replacing 2 Konica 6500s

    We replaced our 2 650s last year with a Ricoh 900 and 901. The 901 has a booklet maker but not the heavy duty one. Honestly we havnt used the bookletmaker alot. Both machines are at least 30% faster and the GBC puncher is a game changer. The only major con of those machines is that neither will...

    Indesign VDP plugins - opinions needed

    We are looking for an Indesign VDP plugin. We have looked at Direct image (Print shop mail), FusionPro and XMPie. They all seem to offer the same abilities mainly because they use Indesign as a base but I know there must be differencies. My main concerns are settings for multiup printing...

    Replacing Offsett Press

    Overwelmingly presses can print on materials printers cant and they can print any color you want them to, printers are only CMYK. If you can outsource your press work and make it profitable, its a thought. I think the 1 or 2 color press is going to be viable for some time though, at least in...
