I'm looking for anyone using a Ricoh 751 in a production environment for variable data work who can speak to overall speed, up-time, quality, etc. Thanks, Mark H

Does anyone have a copy of, or can point me to an online reference for the equipment warranty on a Ricoh Pro c900? Thanks, Mark H

Hello everyone! I was just notified by Lori Miller over at the National Postal Forum that my workshop 'Introducing Performance Metrics to the Print & Mail Room" was accepted for the 2012 NPF Orlando conference. While I have some great pointers and stories to share from my own experiences, I'd...

I have 2 positions open at my plant in Bangor, Me - a variable data printing QC and a 2nd shift inserter operator. Sorry, no relocation available. Email me directly for specifics. Thanks, Mark H

Working with KM1050 engines running primarily 8.5x11. When I change up to 11x17 I end up with streaking for the first 50 pages or so. I'm thinking there's some artifact either on the rollers or the fuser unit that is transferring. Any suggestions on where to look for the build-up, how to...

Looking for a Konica Minolta model PB501 perfect binder for an IKON branded KM1050 print engine. Thanks, Mark H

I have 5 KM1050 print engines that are on a fixed click charge with a national service company. We are currently only running letter and legal sized substrates through these machines, but I would like to do 11x17 2-up and cut them down to save money. The service company is telling me that if I...

My current D&R plan handles for short term, non-total loss scenarios. Think power outage or failure of the exchange server types of loss. I need to expand this to a total loss scenario; fire, flooding, plane crashes on building, etc. While the local IKON office can help with reproduction...

Which conferences are worth going to for a shop that uses a custom workflow software, outputs everything in PostScript and prints on digital printers? I went to OnDemand last year and enjoyed the Expo greatly, but didn't get much out of the sessions. I'm looking at OnDemand again this year, but...

Is anyone seriously looking at cloud computing as a viable alternative to dedicated equipment and hosted applications? Mark H

When you buy a car you might read the reviews, even watch a professional drive it, but in the end most of us want to test drive the machine we're going to buy. I've read the Bertl reviews on the 2 color print engines I'm considering buying. Both are rated strongly, and I've convinced both...

Ok, so when you're done laughing.... So I'm in the market for a color printer and have been looking at the Ricoh c900, Xerox 700, and KM6501. One of my vendors recently brought in samples made on a Riso 7050 inkjet. While certainly not awe inspiring quality, I print statements and invoices and...

Each of the color machines I'm looking at (KM6501/X700/c900) all put out the quality that I need for my job. All things being equal (which they aren't) my decision would be based solely on a combination of initial and ongoing operating cost. Since I know the published monthly duty cycle of each...

We're a KM1050 shop running VDP on 4/4 shells (24# matte) done off site. I want to bring color in-house. Nothing fancy, maybe a few color maps, logos, and some light trans promo. No need for high-end photo realism, just good quality color matching (for logos) and the need to handle vdp where...
