    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...

    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??

    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...

    So... I knew I was going to regret it!

    Does anyone here have a Xerox and actually like it? I posted a while back about the conundrum of whether to sell my KM C3070 or my Xerox Versant 80, and in the end, the higher resale value on the KM and the fact my Xerox had the booklet finisher and square fold trimmer swung it for me and so I...

    Konica vs Xerox?

    Just for curiosity more than anything… Out of these two manufacturers, which do you prefer? Thinking of the Konica C4080/Versant 280 kind of product range rather than the higher end models.

    Toners for Konica C3070 - Confused

    To date we've always had our konica on a service contract but we need a yellow toner quicker than Konica can get one to us. The 'proper' part for the Konica C3070 is TN619Y (A3VX255). Had a look on ebay and there are a lot of TN619Y toners but with different codes such as A3VX256 (which says...

    Do you use a print shop management software?

    I've posted about this in the past in the MIS sub forum, but I am guessing a lot of people don't tend to go in there. I am curious whether you guys use a shop management software and if so, which one? I'm really looking for something that can: - Quote Jobs based on paper costs / print costs -...

    Duplo DC646 Any Good?

    I've got the opportunity to buy a Duplo DC646 for what seems like a really good price. I'm just wondering if they're any good. I'm thinking it'll be useful for short run business cards, postcards and greeting cards but at the same time, I already have a full size guillotine so not sure whether...

    Upgrade from Konica C3070

    The lease for our Konica C3070 is up in October and I've given the lease company our 3 months notice that we don't wish to continue the lease. Our aim instead is to purchase the title from Konica as we've done less than 200,000 prints on the machine so it's still a baby (we tend to print higher...

    Duplo DC445 Cutting Out

    I’ve got a Duplo DC-445 that I use solely for creasing 350gsm greeting cards. It’s my favourite machine in our entire business as it just works, no faffing, just does what it should. However, it has developed a fault where when it starts the process of lifting the input bed to start feeding...

    Recommendations for a used folding machine

    Hey all. I was just wondering if anyone could offer recommendations for a folding machine that I may be able to find used. Are the older Morgana Juniors any good? We don’t do a tonne of folding so I’m not wanting to spend loads but at the same time I need something that’s going to be accurate...

    Versant 80 - banding?

    I’m a Konica fan but recently bought a Versant 80 as a cheap(ish) second machine and have no idea how to troubleshoot it haha. Printing some greeting cards and getting this banding on pink and purple. On a Konica I’d say it’s the corona wires but don’t know if it’s just the drum on the Xerox...

    Versant 80...All lights flashing

    Anyone with a Versant 80 experienced all the lights flashing on and off? We only had this installed on Thursday, left it over the weekend then came in today to this. Have tried powering it off at the wall and leaving it for a few minutes but just reverts to the same state when I power it back...

    Skew on Morgana Docufold Pro

    I swear, finishing equipment and me really don't get on! haha. I've recently purchased a used Morgana Docufold Pro (current model with the colour touchscreen). A great piece of kit by the looks of it. However, whenever I try to fold anything, the results are really inconsistent. Probably one...

    Duplo DC-445 350gsm?

    So I posted a couple of weeks ago about how I managed to kill my Morgana creaser. I replaced it with a used Duplo DC-445 as all the specs I’ve found say it should handle 350gsm card. I’ve gone to use it for the first time today with 350gsm card and 99% of the sheets jam in the feed roller. It...

    Morgana Autocreaser 'Crunch' message

    I wonder if you knowledgeable lot can help. I've got a Morgana Autocreaser (the old style where the red screen is by the buttons). It's been in stored in a shipping container for the past 12 months (stupidly) and some of the rods inside have rusted (which is a separate issue). I've bought it...

    How much to buy title after lease?

    I know this is a bit of a daft question, especially given it will largely depend on the country I'm in and so on, but I am coming to the end of the lease on my Konica C3070 and I would like to buy out the remainder of the lease. The lease company have advised that the lease does not transfer...

    Xerox square fold trimmer. Any good?

    Just purchased a Xerox Versant 80 as a second printer (our main machine is a Konica C3070). The Xerox we’ve bought has the pro booklet maker and so am thinking of using that to make booklets when the need arises. I’ve been offered the chance to buy a square fold trimmer to add to the machine and...

    Custom Built vs Pre-Built PC’s?

    Just curious how many of you on here have custom built PC’s vs pre-built from the likes of Dell and HP. Looking at replacing a couple of PC’s and having a hard time decided between some Dell Precision’s and some Intel or Ryzen systems.
