    Fiery Stochastic Requires 600 DPI...

    Not sure why, but that's the way it is. Stochastic also causes drastic colour changes and I'd have to do a lot of work to craft a new output profile to get press-match specific to the way these machines do stochastic. At first I thought Stochastic was a great idea but the way it was implemented...

    Xerox J75 and Fiery Engine

    Select your machine's default profile, it'll have a checkbox & lock icon next to it and in your case probably be Fiery Xerox J75 Uncoated 90gsm v1F or something similar. With that profile selected hit the Edit... button over on the right side to open the curve editor. You don't really want to...

    Xerox J75 and Fiery Engine

    If your interface is like mine... Open up one of those output profiles and save it under a new name (by client name, or what adjustment you're making.. anything it's an arbitrary name). Select your newly created profile and hit the Edit button to bring up a CMYK curve editor. Find the specific...

    Adobe Creative Cloud fonts

    So long as they do not need to make further edits to your file, simply outline the fonts before creating your PDF. Every machine will interpret the vector paths the same.

    Xerox J75 Solids on 300gsm Coated Stock

    We're lucky if we hit 15% in the winter here. I was surprised that these humidifiers could even affect a space as large as mine with bay doors opening every half hour.

    Need to know Pantone Colors for.........

    Facebook has no official Pantone but it looks like many use 2727. Twitter uses 298. Not sure about LinkedIn.

    Xerox J75 Solids on 300gsm Coated Stock

    Adjust Image Transfer is what you're looking for, and the method unfortunately is just to turn the number up and down to see if there's an improvement anywhere in the range. If you get a standard size sheet loaded you can print a set of sample patches from within that screen that may help to...

    Xerox J75 Solids on 300gsm Coated Stock

    I've recently gotten a couple of humidifiers set up next to our digital printers and the difference has been huge on troublesome stocks like this. Now if I'm getting patchy solids on 300gsm Silk I just sit the stack by the humidifiers on a cart, turning occasionally for even exposure, until I...

    Shop humidity

    Out of curiousity, how often are you changing out your filters or do you run them with the filters removed? We've just purchased a few of these (probably the same units you run) and because during this season we're going to have to run them around the clock it's anticipated that they're going to...

    DC700 and C75 - Service login?

    I recently got a peek at our DC700's HFSI list and identified several parts that were a little over 150% beyond spec life and were causing image quality issues that weren't being properly addressed. Now I'm curious what parts are on the red on our C75 that may be causing some of our troubles...

    Font management - consolidated, synchronized and shared font library?

    Is there a system out there that would let me consolidate the font libraries from all of our prepress computers, allow prepress operators to easily add new fonts from customer-supplied files to this shared font library, and synchronize with their machines automatically or on request? I've been...

    Xerox 560 vs C75...

    I've heard good things about the oversize feeder and did push a bit to get one but that didn't happen. Bypass tray has a low jam rate (until the rubber rollers wear down) but is very low capacity. I've been warned that it results in the least reliable registration however this seems to be...

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

    We just had 5000 housings installed in our C75 and there is a definite improvement although our black is still screwed. Time will tell if these housings are better or not.. we've had new dev housings installed on a nearly weekly basis so far.

    Xerox 560 vs C75...

    We've been running a C75 for about four months now. We've put in probably about two dozen service calls since then, mostly due to bad developer housings. These are the same developer housings as the 700 uses and have been problematic for many people. This is still an ongoing issue for us and we...

    Transparency issues in Digital Printing

    I gave this a shot with the 120-page document that I was testing with last week. The output showed no transparency bounding boxes so this method certainly works. I'm essentially doing the same thing out of InDesign with the transparancy flattener preset method. The process was slightly faster...

    Transparency issues in Digital Printing

    I just gave this a shot and Command Workstation processed and printed a completely blank sheet from a PDF/X-1A (2003) file. This may be a separate issue manifesting so I'm going to keep working on this and try to figure it out. I've tried Composite CMYK with "simulate overprint" as well as...

    Transparency issues in Digital Printing

    I'm attempting to find the best way to deal with transparency issues when sending to our Xerox 700 and C75 digital printers. Scouring the internet has turned up hundreds of others having similar issues and given me one working solution but it's not a particularly good one. For those not...

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

    If you measure the distance between streaks (or between good, solid areas) and it turns out to be more or less uniform then it could be a roller that needs to be cleaned. Our 700 had a repeating pattern that looked similar to what you've got going on and there was residue on a roller that the...
