    Recommend Hardware for RIP - Caldera vs Onyx

    I am evaluating caldera right now on linux.. so far so it's OK, but I am not convinced. I have read that people love Caldera's support - I for one have mixed feelings. Some questions get answered clearly, some not. I am trying to run an ecosolvent printer along with an aqueous Canon. I am right...

    How slow is business?

    tacky! And assuming you're being paid by the hour.. wouldn't the owner prefer you be sweeping the floors and tidying up stock?

    Difference between KM C6000 and C7000?

    So if they are picky and they have, short runs.. or variable data... or need for quick turnaround... ? What do you think you're going to get in the next generation of machines? The 6000/7000 replacements will still only do 300gsm, and the resolution does not need to get better. Why would you...

    Difference between KM C6000 and C7000?

    Well there is the issue of better print resolution. Reverse text and coloured text does look way better on the newer machines (any newer machines).

    Konica C5500/6500/5501/6501 owners - black on gloss

    The issue has mostly disappeared. There is still some unfused toner coming off, but about 1/10 of what was coming off before. We did go through about 8 bottles of black toner since then though. I personally suspect a toner issue. The local service reps have noticed the same effect on the...

    Konica C5500/6500/5501/6501 owners - black on gloss

    You asked, before editing your post, if all the other printers I called are in the same area. Yes, they are. I was very surprised when everyone I called around here had the same issue. That's why I was calling on printplanet forum members for help with this... anyone??

    My problem is with any gloss coated sheet. Name one and I'll go an buy it and try it. The other shop we tested had the same problem with any gloss coated sheet. I called 3 more, all said "yes black toner marks left on the paper when rubbed across the imaged sheet". toner4brains, I do...

    I was talking about the local technicican's recommendation to fix the issue with 80# *TEXT* was to slow it down, which I don't find acceptable..

    Konica C5500/6500/5501/6501 owners - black on gloss

    Thanks halmac... I called 2 other stores.. similar results. One had major toner issues, but the tech came in and slowed down the cpm and that seemed to solve it. He seems satisfied, but I wouldn't be.. who wants to run with CPM and speed down when running 80# text? The other store I called...

    SopoTN, halmac, Any chance I can get you to run the test I posted above? I'll owe you a beer! I just used the carolina as an example. Like I said, it's with any coated stock. Thanks!

    Konica C5500/6500/5501/6501 owners - black on gloss

    Would any other owners of the machines listed in the subject care to do a little test? Any gloss stock, text weight or cover weight, run through your machine with a pure black flood. Just a large black rectangle covering the whole sheet. If you have it, please try Carolina 10pt c2s/c1s, as...
