DesignJet 3500CP is an ancient machine, it's 4 colour, 600x300 dpi. The printers I'm talking about are 3 generations ahead 2400x1200 dpi.

Which old HP DesignJet 44" or 60" uses the same Viviera inks as DesignJet 130? Hi Guys, Among our fleet of large format printers we have this gem HP DesignJet 130NR 24" 6 colour printer. This is the smallest and slowest machine we have and it uses HP Viviera Dye Inks. This machine beats any...

We are actually in the UK, but I've decided that I'll stick with digital as after we asked our clients if they would be interested doing their larger runs with us if we would have an offset, they came to us anyway and the larger jobs worked out to be not that large anyway. So I hope now just to...

OK, as I was extremely busy printing (using inkjet technology ;-), I didn't have much time to read on it. But you have planted the seed. Heidelberg Classic DI 46/4 Plus is currently twice my theoretical budget, but delivery and installation is included. Comes with new rip as well. Did I say my...

Alois, I don't really fancy closing the shop to attend the course and Leeds is couple of hours drive each way from me. Actually I never did well at school, I've only excelled in annoying teachers. I wouldn't last, I would get the books, closed myself in a workshop for few nights and would stop...

My mind is sort of set for Ryobi 3304. It usually come with the following: Bacher register system, Central Air Supply Cabinet, Chromed Blanket cylinders, Chromed Cylinders, Chromed Impression cylinders, Chromed Plate cylinders, Console, Double sheet control, Quick action plate clamps, Quick...

I'll be buying second hand machine. All of the machines I have called about, I could come and see working before the collection and payment. I could buy Heidelberg Quickmaster 46-2 one colour machine and learn on this one? But then I usually pick things up pretty quickly, so I thought I get 4...

Guys, I'm preparing to buy my first offset machine and this scares me to death. I have no experience whatsoever with offset. The last time I've prepared films for offset printing was in 1998. I'm looking to buy something like Ryobi 3304, 4 colour. My question is, is there any book which will...

CorelDraw 6x is a shambles. Sorry for starting my post like this but the amount of stress I've had with this piece of junk reminds me of Corel Draw 4, 15 years ago. It's freezing in the middle of the job, on some designs it will not print it's spooling forever and you have to close the...

Digital Print became a very competitive market but not for long guys. I see many companies calling themselves "super printers" they charge now £25 ($35) for 1000 business cards and this includes design! The reason for this low pricing is, that the are in a poo. I know at least 3 companies like...

I just got carried away on youtube and found this: HANDJET® EBS 250 portable printer Part 1 - YouTube Amazing stuff. Anyone have seen it in action?

Hi Guys, I'm trying to make more scientific calculation for my pricing, does anyone know what is average toner / ink coverage for business cards? Lets say over the longer period of time, like a year. And if anyone has the same info for leaflets that would be brilliant! Cheers, Peter

Just yesterday, when I was canvasing for business (yes people still do that), I walked into one TAXI firm and the guy said that he needs business cards. He showed me his card and it was printed not only on the inkjet printer but in a fast mode with the resolution about 75 dpi. He said, the guy...

Seriously, no one?

Unfortunately if you want your wages paid, that is what we have to do! Times changed very much, and printing went the same way as music industry. People used to get excited about hi-fi equipment vinyl & CD, depth of the sound etc, now everyone is listening to crappy mp3 from the crappy ipod. I...

I agree onwsk8r! I recently dropped my prices to print only mark. It made life easier for me. Now you have the design print ready, you get cheap, you don't - pay or go away. Today I had a call from a take away owner he wants 1000 leaflets. I've asked him, if he has the design print ready for his...

Hi Guys, We have a HP DesignJet 130nr, which prints from the roll on Photo paper, the problem we have is that it starts printing ok and then after 2 or 3 inches lines appear. It looks like printhead problem but it's not. To me it looks like it can't feed enough ink to print a photo. If you print...

See we don't allow people with Zimmer frames in our shop :)

Unfortunately they are all machines and you never know how much trouble you going to get. I personally find X easier and cheaper to maintain in the top condition.

Xerox rep is right 570 does amazing job with photos. If I were you I would ask him for samples, if he wants to sell the machine he should give you several samples an different stocks as well. And get the samples from KM too. I have had 2 engineers here last week, arguing which of my machines is...
