    What printer for volume 10x15 printing?

    Personally I don’t think I’d recommend a toner based printer for photography prints, especially on photo paper as the toner just sits on top of the paper so will always look more Matt than the paper itself, but I have no experience with the Apeos Pro printers. If you have the space for multiple...

    Xerox Versant 180 wrinkles in paper

    We've had this a couple of times on our Versant 80. The engineer ended up changing the belt on the fuser which resolved the issue.

    How do you store custom paper sizes on Versant 80?

    Thanks so much both of you, I’ve managed to do this now and will definitely be printing the steps to do this in the future :)

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    Thanks, I definitely have a lot to learn and will definitely do the density uniformity. The charge roller sounds like a possible - on the Konica I had, this sort of issue would usually be the charge coroner which the fully was user replaceable and we had spares on hand so will look into the...

    Nobody will give me a service contract for my Versant 180 despite low use & being immaculate.

    How the heck do you run a Versant in a living room? I’ve never seen a house in the U.K. with a 32amp commando socket haha. @JazzaBee - forget the idea of selling mass flyers/leaflets from your Versant 180. The money just isn’t there. Even at 0.035 per click, once you hit 1,000 leaflets for one...

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    If you look at the first cyan image for example, (the horizontal one), you can see two darker blue lines roughly in the centre running left to right. You can also see it in the magenta. The yellow is too bright to see anything. I’ve no idea if I have a flywheel to be honest but the engineers...

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    Thanks for that. The dealer has asked me to try cleaning the developer housing so will try that again first thing in the morning. I’ve ran plenty of sheets of sticker paper through the press today and not noticed the banding on them but they don’t tend to be solid blocks of colour. Might try...

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    Our dealer has said it’s not likely to be the 2nd btr as it’d have black marks on it? There’s a lot more areas on the roller than what you can see on a printed sheet so it’s hard to tell but yeh looks to line up. Typical that I want to print a big run of greeting cards and now I can’t haha...

    Banding on Versant 80 - is this 2nd btr issue?

    As I’m quite new to using Xerox machines, I am still learning and trying to identify issues myself so that when I need to arrange service, I can tell them what the issue is so they can come equipped with the part (our service tech is a third party tech so our dealer supplies the parts rather...

    Xerox 2nd BTR

    To be honest, we have the nvm adjusted to slow our Versant 80 down on the uncoated card stock we use as we were getting banding without it but yeh I get what you mean. If we do end up with a 3100/4100 for card stocks we might still trade our Versant in for a prime link or c70 (refurb) for...

    Xerox 2nd BTR

    We have a Versant 80 and. get 2nd BTR issues as a lot of other people do. The only thing I can say is that at least you can change the 2nd BTR yourself, whereas when we had banding on our KM it would usually require an engineer callout if changing the coroners didn't fix it (though the engineers...

    How do you store custom paper sizes on Versant 80?

    Printing a lot on SRA4 (225x320mm) sticker paper at the moment and the Versant 80 doesn't auto detect the correct size as it doesn't have SRA4 as a set size. So, I'm having to set a custom paper size each time I put SRA4 paper in the printer. There's a button as shown below for 'Preset Custom...

    Are Mimaki Eco Solvent Printers Any Good??

    Both are running off the same Rasterlink pc. I wish I could experience the mimakis being ‘very capable’.

    Are Mimaki Eco Solvent Printers Any Good??

    Just a bit of a rant really. I have two CJV150's which I bought used for printing stickers. I cannot for the life of me get a solid colour without some form of 'diffusion'. So, my question is are Mimaki Eco Solvent printers just terrible quality in general (at least the CJV150's) or is it likely...

    SOLD UK SALE - Konica Minolta C3070 LESS THAN 300k clicks

    It was sold a couple of months back so I would assume they’ve sold it on already. I will get the dealers details and pm you though. Honestly, I loved the Konica. A few things drove me nuts like banding every now and again but there are far more videos on YouTube to guide you through...

    Intec SC6000 / Morgana ColorCut Digital Die Cutter

    Yeah I know what you mean. I always grew up wanting to move to the US but when I look at equipment prices in the printing industry, I'm so glad I'm in the UK :ROFLMAO:

    Vaping Labels - Epson just doesn't do me justice! Help required

    I'm late to the party but I have a VIPColor VP700 which is the same as the Afinia L801 (the Afinia is a rebadged VIPColor machine). To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't advise Memjet machines unless your labels are mostly matt and text based. I look at our VP700 and honestly wish we'd bought an...

    Intec SC6000 / Morgana ColorCut Digital Die Cutter

    @jwheeler I wonder if you ever got a quote from intec for their flatbed model (the current model is the FB9000PRO). We have the FB8000PRO Mk3 and we bought it just before the FB9000PRO came out hence we got it for about £6k. Last time I checked the FB9000PRO was about £12k. I will preface this...

    Yeh and I got nowhere near my asking price either (it went to a dealer). Will definitely be buying another KM machine by the end of the year!
