Wearing a lot of hats is a reflection of both small business and the state of the economy as a whole for small business. The good news for you is that makes your contribution (or as Alith pointed out value) much higher to an organization. More than will be reflected in something like...

We have been using two of the stitching units, one for monochrome and one for color, for about 2 1/2 years. Our long term report on the units is mixed. Please remember we are an offset house with $300,000 stitchers so we are a little jaded. On the monochrome. Really a good unit for loose...

John, There are a lot of variables in what makes for a great fit in digital print production. Complementing offset production versus statement rendering share only 4 color process as common thread. Feel free to email me at [email protected] for a discussion in detail about our...

resgistration issues resgistration issues Registration on our 8000 has always been spotty. Sheet "flair" is an issue, but it has to do with how the sheet is treated through the print process. There are so many mechanical touch points, two fusing sections (for heavier paper), a redirection...

LOL. It's from breathing in all that chemfree stuff... :-) I've been up since 3:30 AM, it's me.... We actually have run AGFA chemfree plates 5 years now. It has been a learning curve at times. Our problems actually did start at the platesetter, an older Screen device, that was improperly...

edge, thanks for the heads up! You are right, we are talking apple and oranges, I apologize. In the states, we think of Presstec as a DI press solution, we forget they sell thermal platemaking equipment.

It's an interesting "fix". The hot water would change the swell of the rollers and if anything was lurking around in the surface, likely boil it out. The surface tension of the roller will be altered as well, which in a "waterless" press is critical. It will likely shorten the life of the...

Our issue with our DI has always been premature plate wear. If you have the rest of the unit in spec, you need to look at the plates themselves (try a different lot from the manufacturer) or you may have laser issues. Any building lightening strikes recently? Do you have a low voltage...

You feel you need 3 C8000's to accomplish 300,000 clicks a month? WOW! I thought these were rated at 500,000 clicks a month... You should be able to accomplish that with one C8000. The igen4 would be great to have, but overkill. You could deploy two Xerox 7000/8000 and be in excellent shape...

Is that a simplex or duplex result?

I wish that sticking a G7 stake was the answer. As an offset/digital house, we support the G7 initiative, though we disagree with certain chromatic values in the magenta and the offsetting adjustment in cyan to compensate for it. It leaves a very thin line to hit without getting a green cast...

Interested to see how your post start-up goes on the C7000. The C7000, I feel, is the best color production unit on the market in the under 500,000 a month category. As few clicks as I get off my C8000, I would consider it a better platform, especially if you have two C7000's, than the...

Ouch, Green! That bad? I despise my C8000, or more precisely the lack of service and their ability to get the machine right, but I wouldn't go that far!

Always love when consultants start making real world comments from their labs. G7 is the greatest thing on earth for print, if it's followed consistently. Same goes for the C8000 print. One off, it's a good as it gets. In real production, it can be a nightmare. On the question of energy...

We have owned a C8000 for a year and half now with well over 2 million clicks and can confidently stand behind what we say is occurring in the field. Any stock above 80# cover slows down. Any stock run duplex, regardless of weight, runs slower than simplex speed, measuring in 8.5" by 11"...

Service is really area dependent. There are good service areas by KM and not so good. Same with the dealers. We have used KM and it has been, well, not so good. We have had our C8000 for about 1 and a 1/2 years as well as two 1200. The 1200 platform is a good letter size platform. Not so...

C8000 would be a bad choice C8000 would be a bad choice The C8000's Achilles heel is large sheets. For that matter, any KM device seems to choke and puke more frequently when running large sizes. It also speed degrades dramatically on heavier stocks, averaging no more than 1000 sheets/per...
