Hello to all and thanks in advance. I'm looking for an inkjet printer with the following characteristics: 1-The sharpest printing possible of black text, at all font sizes but of particular interest are font sizes under 7pt or so. 2-The ability to print 17 x 22 inch paper would be a good...

Hello all. I have a Xerox Versant 180 that I'm in the process of selling, but I'm new to shipping via freight and need to do some learning quickly. Can anybody recommend a good freight carrier who knows how to safely pack and transport digital presses? I'm located in Albuquerque, NM but...

Hi. I'm looking for a print supplier who does padding of memo pads with a different design on each page. Currently the number of designs/pages is 50. At the moment, I print such memo pads digitally and pad them, but I'm looking to move away from production and leave it to the pros. There are...

We are a small local print shop that is changing directions and has a variety of gear to offer. I'll update this post as I get other items ready to offer. All are used in great working order, unless I mention otherwise. Most of the items are listed in Albuquerque Craigslist, some are on eBay...

Hi and thank you in advance for feedback. I'm looking at an entry level semi-automatic cutter for my home shop. Based on space constraints even more than budget, I'm looking at the Triumph 4315 and Formax 22S. The two have almost identical feature sets but I haven't been able to get any...

Hi. I'm evaluating entry-level PUR binders and Fastbind's two offerings - the Neo and Smart are appealing in terms of price. There's also their XT PUR binder but it's not the latest and greatest. Not that this makes it bad by any means, but I want to get any and every edge possible in...

Hi. Thanks in advance for your input. I'm developing a new coffee table book product which is small enough where I can - in theory - use my pouch laminators to laminate the cover vs my roll laminator. I'm sure it's me but I truly dislike using the roll laminator. I guess more accurately it's...

Does anybody out there provide the elusive service of creating finished wrapped hard cases for use with Fastbind Booxter? I'm trying to lighten my load a bit with a new book I'm publishing. Specifically what I'm looking for is the printing of the cover artwork I would provide, laminating it...

Hi. I've recently purchased a Booxter Zero Max from Fastbind but they are backordered for some unappealing amount of time. If anybody here has one, and is willing to pack it and ship it, I'm interested. Thanks.

I've been using Vpaper for a few months now in an 8.5x11 inch size. I have a possible need for a larger size but Peleman doesn't offer any other sizes. On the other hand, I could take out my wallet and buy a Vpaper Tower, which is used to add the hinges to the paper. But I don't even know...

Hello to all and thanks in advance. One of my new print products is a book, which I can happily print on my digital press. But I need to print a dust jacket. The dimensions of the book are such that I can't print the dust jacket on my digital press. The book is a large coffee table book and...

Hello All. Is anybody familiar with glow in the dark substrates that the Versant 180 similar digital press can print on? The other detail is that ideally they won't have an adhesive backing. So far the one or two I've found have an adhesive backing, presumably for cutting and sticking to...

I'm about to start self-publishing a couple of different books. The plan for Day1 is a simple heat binding process using hard covers, such as Unibind Steelbook. I'm going to print a nice dust jacket on my Versant but I'd also like to mark the hard cover itself just not to have a completely...

On the Versant 180, is there a way to either specify which K toner cartridge the press should use? Or minimally to know which one is being used / is active? The bigger question is what scheme/logic does the Versant 180 use to determine whether to use K1 or K2. Keep in mind that my volume is...

Hi. Just wondering if anybody can recommend specialty papers for printing photos on the Versant 180. I'm not sure yet if they will need to be printed on a gloss or matte yet. When I say "specialty", I'm thinking something more exclusively geared towards photos, as opposed a standard...

My goal is to be able to print solid process color backgrounds on my Versant 180. So when I have a background that is y=100. all else=0, then I'd like to not see any other colors or dot pattern. Under a magnifier, all I'd like to see is yellow and maybe whatever pits and valleys the paper may...

Happy New Year to everybody. I’ve noticed on my new Versant 180 that when using 13x26 inch 80# cover stock, the press leaves marks/indentations along the 26 inch length, 2 inches apart or so. These are not artifacts from printing but physical indentations on the cover stock. They are not so...

The Versant 180 offers their XLS (Extra Long Sheet) capability and clearly states that it allows a sheet size up to 13x26 inches. Cool. But I can't find where it states a minimum XLS sheet. For example, can I feed a 9x26 inch sheet instead. I can see on Youtube that the XLS metal tray that...

Hi. I'm currently working towards finding the right press for me (this has been on and off for a while). I've seen the Versant 80 and newer 180 do what I need but during a conversation with one local dealer, I was told they wouldn't even sell me one because of my tentative monthly volume. He...

Hi. So far Googling hasn't helped much so I wanted to see if anybody has used and/or knows of non-white papers that are supported by the Versant 180. These can be gloss papers, such as a tan or maybe ivory. Or even cooler would be a paper that's textured like a parchment. Thanks
