Hi all, Just a quick question. Anyone who's bought a Konica Minolta digital printer, have they been told that the monthly RIP maintenance fee is compulsory, or on the contrary have they been sold a machine without the fee in place? Thanks, Andrew

Hi all, We are undertaking a remodelling of our business, aiming to work more on an outsource basis and offer a greater variety of print at the same time. As a result we are looking to sell some of our existing equipment, mainly a KM c5501. This KM c5501 has worked flawlessly since we had it...

Hey guys, If you've ever had an es3640 or es9410 and have had quality issues could you briefly outline such issues here please, I want to understand if I'm alone with my frustrations regarding this machine. Thanks, Andy

Hey guys, I'm pursuing a fitness for purpose claim against a printer manufacturer and am looking for UK (England and Wales) similar cases. I'm doing a lot of net trawling but if anyone here has successfully won such a case I would like to hear from them. Basically taking a company to court to...

Hi guys, I'm having some problems with my c5501, not worth a tech call just wondering if anyone else has experienced double-feeding on 300gsm silk coated card? The card doesn't have a lot of static and slides around quite easily but for some reason the printer double-feeds or refuses to feed...

Hi guys, I'm trying to find a lower cost business card board to ColorCopy. I've found the Essential range from PermierBeswick in the UK (seems to be their own brand), made by Condat, it's cheaper than ColorCopy and is stiffer in the long grain direction (ideal for business cards) but flexible...

Hi Guys, I've taken the plunge and bought a KM c5501, I realise it's going to be out of date in a year but it does the job and is a great upgrade from my OKI machine. You can now welcome me into the world of 'proper' digital print, not trying to get an office-desk machine to do a...

Hey guys, At some point in 2011 I'm looking to take on a part time graphic designer who can liaise with local clients and convert their ideas into a print ready design. I'm after some advice on the best way of doing this and the sort of minimum pay expected, if anyone in the UK can advise it...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has some advice on how to trim short run booklets on a hydroulic guillotine? I generally run small jobs and it's not worth investing in any sort of in-line finishing, and I don't have space for a dedicated trimmer...especially considering the jobs are 2-3 a...

Hey guys, Does anyone have an update on the new Xerox machines due out this year? I heard vague references to a new machine at IPEX and just read about the DC252/260 coming to the end of it's life this month, any updates? Thanks, Andy

Hey guys, yes it's me again! Wondering if anyone is or has had problems with using compatible toner in a printer, the symptoms are terrible toner scatter on any media type (not just the glossy papers). I don't want to spend another £1,000 replacing the drums and toners with genuine if it's the...

Hey guys, finally got the es9410 installed and it's amazing, top quality, fast and very reliable (once medias and settings are sorted that is!). I am having some problems though; wonder if anyone can shed some light? OKI and re-seller tech support haven't managed to help today and they're now...

Hey guys, I've given up on my Ilumina and am looking at a click charge + service contract printer on a similar level so every repair and fault is covered by a local company, and I can use genuine toner. I'm looking at the es9410 as a viable option as it has a reasonable click rate and is new...

Hey guys, Still having problems with the Xante, this one quite an important issue if anyone has any experience? When printing heavy stock the toner quality is very poor, most prints have a marble effect and black (pure K) text at or below 8pt is unreadable. This size and quality requirement is...

Hi guys, I've just bought a digital press and as you're probably aware the cost of toner, especially colour is silly, even when buying compatible toner. I had a look on wikipedia a while ago for some information regarding CMYK and RGB differences, but I came across an article that mentioned...

Hi guys, I've been a digital printer for around 4yrs (inkjet) and have just moved on to getting a Xante Ilumina, I'm going to try and work out as much as possible myself but if anyone has had the following issue, could you lend a hand please? I've just bought a 2nd hand Ilumina that’s done...
