    KM controller aka hikari RIP, appears to be deleting jobs after 6 days 23 hours

    20-100 x A2 posters aka 'affordable' B2 digital printer

    hi, 'cheap' reliable, high quality short (20-100) run s/s A2 (trimmed to bleed), 150gsm coated digital prints/posters. Has long been a holy grail for our business. Recently a local competitor/frenemy/trade supplier has either gotten access to or installed a B2 digital printer. I have not seen...

    The KM costs 5% more, but is there really a difference or just personal preference? C5300s or C4070

    So I sort of felt myself veering toward a C5300. Now the decision is imminent I'm attracted to back to the 4070 to print 50k sra3 'posters' pm I've read every thread, I just feel the 4070 is a bit more 'heavy duty'. It weighs more, uses more power, & afaik isnt related to office photocopier...

    When or why is an (expensive) RIP important?

    Yes we've always had one, 20+ years. We (almost) only print 1 up. We print 20-40 files a week. We use the Fiery queue/s, but both the Canon 'Printer Kit' driver (V900) & Ricoh's GWNX postscript driver (C5300s) have these features. An embedded Fiery adds 25-30% to the total cost, (tho we are not...

    what is a PostScript 3 Unit Type M42 to a Ricoh C5300s?

    We print (& often reprint) single files, (mostly single sided) pretty sure imposition is diy within indesign (templates). Almost exclusively pdfs. Our prepress/production bloke is technically savvy. The only adjustments I know we currently make in the fiery app are to quantities, moving the...

    small shop, refurb or will a new C5300s be adequate?

    With our 'head office' rented 9 year old C1060 workhorse, which we like & is adequate, we're printing about 22k s/s cmyk 90gsm bond banner prints (325x910) & 5k SRA3 on 150 &/or 300gsm coated per month. But after 5 good years thats about to wrap up. EOL we're told. I prefer to purchase outright...
