Envelops with Iridesse?

[PSS Digital Guy]

has anyone run #10 or #9 envs on an Iridesse? or A7s?

 

[DYP]

Yes they run fine, even A2s.

Yes they run fine, even A2s.

I'm absolutely unable to run 6x9 or 6.5x9 envelopes... Just does not feed..

 

[DYP]

Is it not grabbing them at all?

Check your feed rollers especially the retarders. And also try different spring tension on them.

Or is the problem after the trays?

 

[prepmaster]

It's a new machine... The techs have been here multiple times and are unable to figure out the problem...

 

[DYP]

Oversize hi-cap trays or the ones underneath? You are using the extra parts in the tray to assist in feeding envelopes?

Yes they run fine, even A2s.

what is causing wrinkling on the trailing edges?, all envs

That is a good question as I see the same thing. Not sure if different brands of envelopes make any difference. For what it is worth it is probably the fuser causing this. It hasn't been that bad or I would have tried different fuser settings, but that might be worth a look.

 

[PSS Digital Guy]

Definitely the Fuser. The only settings are more or less heat, GSM change and fan settings. Neither have made a difference.Tech coming in tomorrow

 

[PSS Digital Guy]

Tech did everything possible. changed out pressure roller, new fuser belt, but no change in wrinkling.
Thinking it is 2 things. pressure of the fusing which is not adjustable, and env stock.
Tech is reaching out to others to maybe find a solution.

Today on #9 windowed from Uline no wrinkling on trailing edge. 1500 through and not one jam. Settings, Plain Uncoated GSM 148, all Advanced set to default.

We ran #9s also with no issues. We were running side seam #10s and they were wrinkling. Then we tried diagonal seam, and
they did not wrinkle. Feeding is no problem.

Update: i tried to run 5000 catalog 6x9 envelopes add now for some reason they run fine.... They never did get past the register unit before... I don't get it and neither do the techs... Go figure!

 

[KopyBoss]

It's the envelope stock that causes the wrinkle on the edge. We have found that the cheaper envelopes gave us the most problems its the seam where they are glued. The more expensive one's run with no issues

And also try different spring tension on them.

I don't have too many feeding problems from the high cap trays but it would be nice to know how to adjust the spring tension. How do you adjust the spring tension?

When you pull out the retarder roller housing you will find a straight black plastic cam that is held in place with a screw that can be moved to three position increasing or decreasing the tension on the retarder rollers.

My shop runs envelopes on our Iridesse. I'm wondering if it's possible to run windowed envelopes through it as well and if so is the special fusing web needed?

 

[prepmaster]

I run standard Shasta envelopes all the time without any problems

we just got our Irridesse and have tried to run Env. What trays do use and what setting in stock library?
thanks for any info.

 

[gkpool]

we just got our Iridesse printer and trying to run envelopes has been a challenge. What trays and what setting do you use in paper catalog.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
