    Digital printer for Rapid Proptotyping...

    You could pick up an Epson 3800 used for a few hundred bucks and it can print on substrates up to 1.5mm thick. The only thing you would need to find is an ink that would adhere to polycarbonate. You can buy refillable carts for them on eBay. If it worked then great, if not then you (or the...

    Advice for high quality prints on a used Color Digital Printer -- 450,000 clicks/yr

However we felt that at this time we could not justify the $60,000 commitment until we knew what volumes we could achieve and so I researched...

    Copy & Print -- Too many sales under $1.00 ?

    We get the same but I put it down to 'filling the hopper' for future business. You will be surprised just how many of them will return for bigger jobs or pass the word around that you are the man to go to for work. We have a competitor in town who has a reputation of being greedy with his...

    Urgent - OSX Mavericks compatible fiery for DC242

    I'll give it a try. Do you get finisher options in the driver or does it treat it as just another basic laser printer? Thanks

    Urgent - OSX Mavericks compatible fiery for DC242

    I didn't upgrade - I purchased 2 new iMacs and that's what they come with. There is a new OSX version on it's way too called Yosemite - just to throw yet another wrench in the works. :(

    Urgent - OSX Mavericks compatible fiery for DC242

    Thanks. If there is a problem with driver compatibility, can I use Hot Folders and drop the PDFs into them on the Mac and then manage the job from the fiery workstation?

    Buying a used DC242 - what questions should I ask?

    Although 'old' and discontinued by Xerox, there are still thousands of them in regular use and the consumables (toner, drums, corotron etc) are available and not a bad price - not in KM price brackets but cheaper than those for the newer 550/560 lol I'm actually getting a set of new ones with...

    New user - questions re KM C6000 v Xerox 560 v KM C650 used

    Thanks - that's good to know. I am pretty much decided on the 560 as I like the range of media that it supports but I think I am going to have to pass on their Maintenance agreement as it is far too expensive. It's a brand new machine so should be supported for the first year anyway under...
