    2D Code Help

    Anyone know how to get this to work in Print Show Mail? I can create the barcode but when I scan it into excel rather than seeing tab as a function to move to the next cell it sees it as text. I have a barcode scanner and the sales person I purchased it from told me to use <TAB> between my data...

    Digital Booklets - Inline or Offline

    We do a lot of booklets that are 8.5X5.5 finish size. We choose to do off line binding because we can print the booklets 2 up & have 1/2 the click charges. We do also have an inline stitcher on our CPP 650 but it is so slow we can print & stitch the entire job off line 10 times faster than if we...

    UV coating over Digital?

    We use an off UV Coated by Tec Lighting on a Ricoh C900 (fuser oil) & a CPP 650 (Wax base). As long as you use the correct UV formula for your toner type it works great. If you mix them up you get cracking or other issues.

    creo vs fiery?

    I have questions about Fiery VS Creo as well. Currently we use the standard Fiery on our C900 & CPP650. The issue is when we use Direct Smile & PrintShop Mail for VDP. The standard Fiery takes 36 hours to process & hold a 4up postcard of 10K records. I have been told we need to upgrade to the...

    Complaint about letterheads

    You can print letterhead on a digital machine but you have to have the right one. We print letterhead on our CPP650, which is wax base tone, all the time. It has been tested on several laser printers & has to date never transfered off. However we have tried printing letterhead on our C900 & it...

    Ricoh c901s

    C900 vs C 901 C900 vs C 901 Anyone upgrade from a C900 to a 901? We have had a 900 for almost 2 years & aren't as pleases as one would hope with it. I have seen the C901 but I couldn't see THAT much of a difference between the 2, other than the obvious lack of fuser oil. My question is, how...

    Direct Smile & PrintShop Mail What machine do you use?

    Let me just say that normally we deal with large quantity of records around 10K, so making a 5K page PDF isn't practical. Ok, after conversations with PSM, Direct Smile, Richo, our I T people, & anyone else I could get a hold of we have part of the issue taken care of. We got a test PC (HP Z600...

    Ricoh C900

    I assume by the smile you are joking that the C900 will run perfectly 100% of the time & never need service. We have had a C900 for a year & 1/2 now & we see our tech at least once a week more often than not we see home more that 2 times a week.

    Direct Smile & PrintShop Mail What machine do you use?

    There is a Fiery attached to the C900. The processing of the file does take place at the printer but we have to send it to the printer first. Print jobs bottle neck both places that is why we are having such a hard time. We have Direct Smile, Print Shop Mail, & Ikon all trying to work it out...

    Direct Smile & PrintShop Mail What machine do you use?

    We have been round and round with trying to run Direct Smile & Print Shop Mail on the same machine & seperate. Is anyone running both software on a PC that can tell me your systems specs? Currently we have a system with = duel core Intel i5 3 Ghz, 4G RAM, Raid 1 (465 GB), running windows 7, 32...

    Print Shop Mail & Ricoh C900

    Interesting. If I look under "My Computer" on the fiery it says 2GB BUT if I look within the software (Command Workstation 5) it says 512mg. I was told that if the system had more memory it wouldn't recognize it anyway. We went through 4 months of craziness with updates both software & hardware...

    You posted that you may have some advise on getting my C900 to process my Print Shop Mail jobs faster. We normally start with 300 resolution PDfs overlay an address, a salutation, & a sequence number. The files are around 20 mg when they reach the printer & 10 to 13 GB AFTER processing. I'm...

    Print Shop Mail & Ricoh C900

    This card had a 300 resolution PDF for the front & back with a 3X1 text box & a .75X.25 text box. The 2 boxes did have transparent backgrounds. Making the background white made no difference at all. Cache didn't seem to make a difference either. I'm working on the free form still. I'm not as...

    Print Shop Mail & Ricoh C900

    It is set to Optimized. Getting is from print shop mail to the printer normally doesn't take that much time. Ocassionally it will take some time. It is when the Fiery on my C900 rips the file normally.

    Print Shop Mail & Ricoh C900

    I use Print Shop Mail a lot with my C900 & I am having an unbelieveably slow rip time. I have a file that is 1400 sheets 13X19 sheets or 4200 postcards. If I send the file all together it locks up the Fiery attached to my C900. I had to send the job in 5 batches to allow it to process. Each...

    Ricoh C900

    We also use Ikon. The first month that you had the machine were there a lot of service calls? I have been told it takes some time & adjustments to get it to run consistantly. Currently, I have around 2 service calls a week. The latest was a hard drive failure in the machine (Not the Fiery...
