Does anyone have a supplier for A5 blank tab sheets? Am in EU but was previously ordering from UK. Last order was from Scotia, but they are no more. Previously also ordered from Tabbers but they just don't follow up on enquiries. It's at the point now where I'm looking at tab cutting...

probably totally irrelevant, but my hand cranked cutter has a thing where when it's been switched off and back on again, the electronic depth gauge only starts working when you crank it past a certain point (almost all the way to the end). could it be something similar? try hand cranking it...

Get the supplier to specify in writing any restrictions which apply to the bustled RIP vs the standalone. I know for example with the Ricoh C5300/C5310, the bustled RIP has some restrictions including support for tab printing and some Fiery software modules which are only possible via the...

why aren't you considering Ricoh? I'd have thought the C5400/C5410 would be a good fit.

thanks - i struggled to get hold of that in SRA3 near me and my cutter is max SRA3 size. I've made a small order for some Gmund Verge and Rives. Have already got the Gmund stuff in and it's quite similar to the Paperlinx stuff.

given the current global economic turmoil, agreeing to lock in prices beyond a couple of months seems like an unwise proposition from a seller's point of view. anything could happen to the price of substrates, electricity, labour, parts shortages etc.

i thought the IMC6500 was the office version of the C5300?

Hi folks, I'm looking for some recommendations for paper available within the EU. specifically the following: - Textured off-white/ivory/cream cover stock. 250-360gsm. SRA3. We have some very old stock Paperlinx Ivory White which is great, but no longer available. It has a kind of...

yeah - we're talking high value historical publications of which there are no digital versions in existence. So in these circumstances, this is the proper way to do it, although if money is no object then you would probably use a robotic version which flips the pages for you, depending on how...

Hi all, I'm digitizing some very old publications, and I've 'scanned' the pages using a DSLR. I need to compile them into a PDF and align the pages consistently. Some of the scans are off centre by a CM or two and they're not consistent. So I want to align the pages so that they are...

piece of paper taped over a sensor on a bizhub post-inserter meant i could post-insert A5 tabs when the post-inserter wanted them to be a4 width. I was happy with that.

machines will go down, it's to be expected. that's something to factor in as a contingency. if you're doing 30k a month you should be able to negotiate a reasonable click charge. IIRC many people pay 1 click for larger sheets like SRA3 rather than double clicks.

no. this is a bad strategy. you are much better off with a service contract including parts and labour. otherwise, every time something goes wrong, you'll have downtime, stock wastage, and your time will be spent trying to figure out complicated issues, instead of focusing on print quality...

thanks we have Jobmaster but not Impose/Compose. I will be trying that out with Jobflow to see if we can get more of a streamlined automated solution. Will look again at Flux, I was quite impressed with it when I looked at it five years ago.

thanks for this, very helpful! the combining part i would be doing in Acrobat regardless. What you describe about paper catalogue issues and JDF sounds quite similar to the experience I'm having atm with TF Prep into CWS to be honest.

Thanks for this. are you using PrismaPrepare into Fiery's then, or Prisma controllers? When I last looked at Prisma the main downside to the tab automation side was that it was very slow to process larger documents (a few thousand pages). I seem to recall it being run on a laptop though at...

Hi all, Contracts are up for renewal this year and Totalflow Prep is being discontinued, hence looking for a new makeready/workflow solution. Back in 2020 we looked at PrismaPrepare, AccurioPro Flux and RSA ReadyPrint. Is there anyone on here with up to date experience of these or other...

err - isn't all that handled by the machine itself and has little or nothing to do with the Fiery?

and then there are mixed media runs where you may well be using a combination of duplex sections and simplex divider sheets, cover pages, chapters, tabs etc all in one document.

Thanks all - you've given me some good suggestions to play around with!
