Ricoh C9110 Skewing

[cDirect]

Machine runs great except for two things......grays (found a work around) and fish tailing the alignment on the second side. Had service replace just about every sensor but it still happens on and off. I do tray alignments for every stock and the alignment is perfect on the same stock and sheet on the alignment page but when it comes to the actual job i get variance. Any other C9100-C9110 owners get any of this?

We have a 9110 and have the same issues. Our service dept hasn't been much help either.

I would love to know what workaround you found for the grays.

I worked on 9100 for couple of years and had similar issue with skewing/magnification consistently for last 6 odd months.
They replaced pretty much everything there was but no solid fix. Some paper stocks worked better than others but it just kept going out after a while.

I've since left the job so not sure if they were able to fix it. Beast of a machine otherwise.

Ricoh 9110 Gray Issue....Solved...at least for me

So my 9110 has always had poor gray application or printing good gray gradients. It has been an issue with Ricoh's machines since time immemorial.....I had a job that had a 5x7 part of gray gradient and I was normally converting that part to RGB in PitStop or if i had the native file making it...

Been a while but It seems that the paper might have been the issue. The other part is that i now always "Align Tray" when I run a new job....especially long runs.
