    Gracol 2013 incredibly washed out

    I am sure we are doing something wrong. But we are getting very washed out results attempting to convert our files to Gracol 2013 in acrobat (when printed) Our goal is to ink limit incoming files from customers at 280%. So we have been trying 'convert color' in acrobat to convert to gracol 2013...

    Morgana major fold plate reset zero?

    Just a follow up I think ive isolated the main issue.. the small step motor of sorts that relays position seems faulty. took it out and as I turn it, there are a couple points where the numbers get all jumpy.

    Morgana major fold plate reset zero?

    Thanks! I did do that,.. Everything is nice and tight.. but I do think its been moved.. I am not sure how it registers the distance so thats why I either need to get it back to original start position, or reset the zero... cant find any documentation on it.

    Morgana major fold plate reset zero?

    Anyone have any ideas on zeroing the fold plates on a morgana major folder? Or what might be happening? Its new to us, and I think its position on the belt is wrong... the dial is out of whack.. it will go 2, 3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 5, as you go from closed to open.. around the 3-5 inch area its out of...

    Switch from Baum 2020 to Horizon AFC?

    I am considering moving from our older baum 2020 folder to a used Horizon AFC 544.. We run 19x25 sheets often as well as digital work. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Right now the baum has good and bad days doing a half half fold on the 19x25 in prep for the muller. Can the...

    How do you name files?

    Curious about peoples file naming structure.. we currently name files for a job with the work ticket number in the name. That seems to be a bit labour intensive to me when you have reapeat jobs to have to go rename the files. We have them attached in our mis system. Also there can be...

    EFI PrintSmith Vision

    We once used printsmith vision.. it was AWFUL. Terrible system, technically way behind, wayyyy overpriced, and serious issues. I will vouch for michael at smart soft.. it was a great program. It didnt fit perfectly for us, but it was a good system. If you are heavily digital they are a great...

    James Burn Docupunch issue

    We got a hold of a used JBI Docupunch recently, and are having some trouble with it. The back jogger seems to be working intermittently. Most times its triggered, sometimes not so we have sporadic sheets that aren't punched correctly. Anyone have any ideas what to do about that? Any help...

    Are you competing against trade printers now? 4over going direct.

    gregbatch, I am on the same page as you regarding there are ways for an end customer to get around it... but they sent the screenshot to me.. and the business name the quote is addressed to is ABSOLUTELY not anything remotely close to a designer, broker, or print house.. the name of the company...

    Are you competing against trade printers now? 4over going direct.

    Apparently 4Over is now going direct. We just had one of our clients send us a quote screenshot addressed to them from 4over. In no way, shape, or form, would they look like, be represented as, or be mistaken as a printer or a broker. Spoke with customer service at 4over and they claim it is...

    Ricoh c7100 or KM c1085 Does anyone have experience with both?

    I dont have experience with both, but we do have the 1085, and know of another local competitor that has the 7100. We had the km8000, it was aweful. The 1085 though, is a beast. I have heard good things from our competitor on the 7100 as well. That being said.. couple things... Near perfect...

    How did we do it.

    I'll be the first to say I might be wrong, but I dont need the answers to any questions to suggest what it might be. When we had our (used) sm74 installed we saw lots of what it looks like in the photos. (Dont get me started on the company that we contracted on the purchase. Never again...

    Xante Warning

    I will try to be as fair and straight up as I can. We returned our Impressia... we returned 3 actually. All three performed the same in our shop. The toner would not fuse on the seams whether it was a side seam or a crossback. That was our main issue. Feeding was a disaster so it would take...

    Xante Impressia - Enterprise Feeder question

    Have one. been a year and not working properly since day 1. xante is now finally taking action it seems after plenty of threats. i will be fair and repost after they fly a tech down later in august. for now i can tell you that the standard feeder is brutal, the fuser does not fuse(on ours)...

    Xante Warning

    Haha, completely agree. We have presses from a 1 color multi to a 5 color sm74. If I bought a piece that was rated for 8000 and it would only run at 4000 minus jams that would be a problem. The xante is advertised at somewhere around 4, and we are lucky to get 2.. minus jams which then using...

    Xante Warning

    Yes Craig, it will run on slower setting which will solve the fuser issues.. but that will only run half speed production wise. You are ok with that Craig?

    Xante Warning

    Just wanted to throw a heads up out there to anyone considering Xante as a supplier. I had read various positive and negative comments about Xante, and made the decision to try their envelope printer around this time last year. Great concept, even momentary flashes of what it is advertised to...

    Suggestions for eliminating mottling on uncoated stock?

    A bit of a side question.. we've had a hard time over the years with solid red prints on something like 100lb cougar cover.. the difficult thing is rub resistance after the fact.. have the ink specially made for extra resistance, but have heard you can use varnish to help with this? Generally...
