    Wrong color - Manage, Profile or Cal?

    mixing rgb and cmyk transparencies can sometimes bring unexpected results, and is not a best practice according to adobe. Have you tried preflight and fix in Acrobat, using color digital printing as the profile? If you are going to adjust the bottom end of the curve just use input of 7 output of...

    KM C8000 color gradient

    Its got nothing to do with the rip or the copier. your file size is too small. you cant have detail printing at 1200 dpi with a file that is under 1 meg. Download a high res 5 meg file from Istock and print it. I am willing to bet it looks fine. Make sure you aren't creating pdfs with the...

    Unresolved KM 8000 Quality Issues

    The C8000 has a hard transfer roller/belt, so guess what it doesn't fill in the gaps on textured stock. The C6501 has a soft transfer transfer roller and is able to fill rough surfaced stock. Same goes for cheap offset text. Where the machine does great is smooth, bright digital stocks which is...

    Looking for a new controller

    Creo Ic-304s are relatively rare, most everyone bought fierys. That being said unlike Fiery its a standard computer, the only thing unique about it is the video output card. You can still get them from Creo but its cheaper to find a used Creo whole. Like Fiery the video output card is probably...

    Konica GBC Issues....anyone?

    GBC makes these units for all of the copier companies, the dies wear out and have to be constantly cleaned and lubricated. There is a new long life dieset that is available but very pricey. Good luck finding a heavy duty inline punch for a copier that isn't made by GBC.

    My KM C8000 Prints Scrolls

    Paper curl comes from high moisture content in the paper, not a problem we have in the prairies. Try changing the curl function or outside fusing temperature in the paper settings. If that doesn't improve it try a different stock and see if you get different results.

    RIP IC-601 from Konica Minolta

    lets try this again.... the choices are IC-601, IC-307 or IC-306 for the 70HC. The 601 takes PPML v2.1 files, can be operated through the touch panel of the copier and ties into the inline spectrophotometers in the RU unit of the machine.

    Transparency issues in Digital Printing

    Use a PDF workflow, save as PDFx-2001. get your customers to do the same. you will find most of the issues go away. It forces you to use only cmyk plus spot colors, with embedded fonts and flattened. The RIP won't have any issues with these files.

    Continual Problems with Konica C8000

    when you calibrate what do the measured curves look like? Is the end point below the target, if you look at the numbers is the target quite a bit higher than the measured? If its too low then your engine may need service. Coronas, Drums, starter etc. When you did the calibration, what were the...

    When you say that the machine isn't holding its color, do you calibrate everday with an ES-1000? do you have a controlled environment? Do you have a good known standard file to compare to? Are you using CDC? The fuser codes that you mentioned would require the technician to check the level and...

    Xerox 700 streaking, banding, large area coverage and light color

    All digital print systems will exhibit banding or pitch marks in light halftones to some extent. This is caused by mechanical noise being shown in the halftone pattern. This is why you can't use the same full coverage backgrounds that you would normally use on a press. Pick your colors...
