    iGen4 question about paper stocks setting up..

    We just got a cute new igen4 diamond edition and was inquiring about what this paper option means, and if it's really needed. Whitepoint L * a * b Some people (that we have talked to) say it's needed, others are saying it's not, what's your conscience thought on this if you have an igen? =)

    Xerox C60/70?

    We just got a c60 (with an in-line fiery) installed replacing our dying 700 with a creo front end. Compared to the 700, the beast is slower. Quieter. It's more based off the 250 with 700 stuff and parts moved around (the decurler isn't next to the fuser anymore). We haven't done much to it yet...

    Thoughts on the IGEN4

    So our contract is ending with Xerox, and we've outputted x4 our regular output from the 1000 Color Press and 700 Color Press. We've had the 1000 for ages and we've seen all the negatives of the machine. [Black fine lines issues - a known unfixable issue, printouts run slightly more magenta...

    DC5000 Windows 7 64bit Drivers

    I can't answer that :P it's between Xerox and Creo. Updates to Creo software is slow. We have a Creo on our 700, and there's been no talk about any updates. Support is .. as-is.

    DC5000 Windows 7 64bit Drivers

    what Front end are you using? If you have Fiery RIP, you should be able to access the drivers from the Fiery's IP address. If you have a Creo, use the WIndows 2003 Server 64bit version from xerox website (should work) Oh, if you are not using any RIP engine, i see there's a 64bit Vista...

    CMYK Colors in Photoshop not Matching PDF Export

    I'm sure it's just a setting I've forgotten, as I thought I did this once and it was working quite good. Troubleshooting some issues on our color machine, I decided to test some halftones to see what was wrong. oddly, the breakdown formula used in Photoshop when exported to PDF and opened in...

    Folder for digital printing

    We use a 15 year old baum folder with 2 gates for up to tri-fold, and we got the pitstop mini creaser to crease before folding.. works wonders. definitely need to score some stocks before you fold depending on coverages as well.

    Xerox stock issues from the Xerox -> Domtar transfer/convergence

    Hey guys. Long time :) Just curious on if anyone of you guys are having issues ordering Xerox brand stocks from either direct-xerox, or 3rd party companies (unisource, xpedx, etc).... From what I have read and gathered, Xerox is moving their paper line to Domtar, and it's all going chaotic...

    Xerox 1000 and machine issues...

    We've worked with Xerox for as long as I've worked here at my place. Just wanted to see what type of papers you guys use with it since we're having troubles left and right. this X1000 was just installed two weeks ago with a EFI frontend, the full color package, extra two paper feeders and...

    Best Digital Printer today

    We've had our X700DCP for a year now, and it's been pretty good. A few issues [skewing 13x19s 100# stocks, finisher tray stacking issues, density/heating] but all in all, I think it all depends on the technician who looks at your machine. Do note, if you run alot of 12x18s and 11x17s there are...

    Scanner question. Xerox DocuMate 765

    Has anyone had experience on a DocuMate 765 Scanner? I'll be upgrading my equipment soon, and Originally the FreeFlow System we had (formerly DigiPath) had a "Series 2000" Scanner, which was great until color mode was enabled. Thanks! :) ht tp://w...

    Print to PDF Driver that embeds fonts for MS Word

    Do note, when using a "Printer Driver" style document to PDF process, make sure you change "Use Device Fonts" to "Embed Fonts" in the Advanced Options so it may embed the non-copyrighted fonts. Usually by default it will be not embeded. This seems to be an issue primarily for Windows machines.

    Printer Issues With the 120 and Xerox 700

    do you have custom profiles set for that type of stock? per advice from a technician is that some paper may need custom profiles to compensate. I know there's a skew option in the custom profiles, but i've never had to play with that setting at all.. we use 20# text weights all the way to 100#...

    Xerox 700 Stacker

    There is a height sensor, and a depth sensor. I don't think it counts (because when u pull X amount off the stack, the stacker will raise up to compensate) and the rating, per the xerox documentation, is based on 20# stock, We use hammermill 28# as the standard [xerox prefers impressions 24#]...

    Gloss mark text

    I've noticed the "Gloss Mark" option on the "Creo 700" we have for the Xerox 700 DCP machine... we were never shown how this option works.. does anyone know how this option works on the 700?
