    Copy Job Cost and Pricing...

    I'm a firm believer in the 80/20 rule. 80% of your problems come from 20% of your clients. And vice~versa.

    Is it just me? Am I unlucky?

    I was gonna say.. Most all these machines like to run hard.. Once you get the bugs out, keep them going nonstop as long as possible. A lot of the issues seem to come when starting after a down time... more than a couple days..

    Duplo stitch cartridges

    I was buying staple cartridges from Canon for my finishers. Don't remember exactly, but it was like 150 to over 200 for some carts. I found Best Office Products online. BOP. Using the model number of the cartridge. (Apparently) exact same carts for around 30$+ versus 150$. Last 5 years or so...

    Canon varioPRINT iX-series

    When we got ours a couple years ago, it was troublesome. Took some time to work out issues.. Then Canon started applying updates and various upgrades. Steamers, ink delivery lines, sensors replaced, cleaning ribbons system changed out. Now the IX is quite excellent. An expensive investment...

    Issues finishing Ricoh 8310 B/W printers

    We have an old BW Canon 120 with similar output/issues. No sheet tapper/jogger. I managed to improve the stack considerably by loosely taping a small piece of plastic with a pencil eraser just above the output, positioned to loosely stroke the exiting sheet, slowing it down just enough to...

    Canon varioPRINT iX-series

    Yes. We put one in about a year + ago. iX3200 Bit of a learning curve. However, the print quality is excellent. Since that time there have been several upgrades to the hardware and software. I must say the changes have made a big difference in usability. It's much better now, so far as...

    How to stop/minimise pages falling out of a book

    He's/ She's right. However.. it is very durable. Will take a lot of abuse. It's durability is part of why it's hard to crease. ☺

    Microcut JR Screen Troubleshooting

    I've never used one of these.. However.. If you are able to remove or loosen the face plate, you might be able to see a ribbon cable attached to the display, or display control board. I would try removing that, then reseating it. Perhaps wipe off the contacts with a Qtip and alcohol. Wiggle any...

    Challenge Champion Cutter Help

    Don't bother with fuses if it's trying to move, it's getting power. When did you last lube the main screw drive rod? Does it look dry? Grease is ok but a 30 weight oil is probably better. I would try to manually move the backgauge by turning the belt drive in the back. See if there's some...

    Challenge Champion Cutter Help

    I'm no expert! But... Were you having issues with it before it stopped? Does it make ANY noise, like it's trying.. Does the system start up, and cut? Does it have an aftermarket "Microcut" installed? Have you been maintaining it... Grease - oil - etc. First thing to do is open the right hand...

    Image quality - Canon Imagepress V700

    That CAN be deceiving. 1200 dpi is fine, if your doc image is at 1200. But if your image is 300 dpi, printing it at 1200 will not make it better. You would be printing a low res image with finer dots.. Just a side note to consider. If you want more gloss in your toner print, get more toner...
