Digital Printing / Inkjet vs. toner for envelopes
January 28, 2025, 01:24:05 PM
So I have been doing some research on replacing our toner based Xante envelope printer with another toner machine.
What are the pros and cons of inkjet and toner based for printing envelopes?
Quality? Color? Consistency? Speed?

Canon ImagePress C910
Intec CS4000 and/or CS5000
Anyone have experience or opinions with these?

I see a few inkjet models mentioned but looking for toner based.
Sounds like the En/Press is most popular.
Thank you all for the input!

Quote from: DigiCorn on January 16, 2025, 04:09:57 PMWe currently have an IntoPrint MP200. The newer model of this same printer (fuser based) is only $5500. We already have the feeder and catcher.
How do you like the IntoPrint MP200?

Quote from: Tracy on January 16, 2025, 10:24:08 AMWe have an Enpress Our last Xante was the Lumina so not familiar with the Impressia

The Lumina has a vertical stacking feeder, the Enpress has a Horizontal Feeder
I only run it when the Copy guy is on vacation, the feeder is annoying and your pretty much
baby sitting it, and you have to open flaps on certain size envelopes.
just fyi though I don't have the personality to run Copiers etc...
It annoys me when things don't work perfectly  ;D
and they never do!!
I would definitely look at it, but see it run with all the types of envelopes/scenarios you need.

I'm sorry, is this the Lumina or the Enpress you're describing?

Looking for recommendations for an Envelope printer under 20k.
Our Xanté Impressia crapped out and we are looking at their En/Press.
Any input welcome.

Suggestions on other printers also welcome.

Fujifilm XMF / Remote proof ER
November 06, 2024, 09:39:10 AM
Remote proof question.
Why do unarchived jobs using Remote getting a new jobID appear locked for our customers?
Our experience with exact reprint jobs is that when you bring them back in they are still in an (previously) approved state.
You'd think when they come back in with a new jobID they would be "new" to be able to approve.

Thanks,
Mike

Fujifilm XMF / Re: Overlapping pages lose bleed
August 23, 2024, 10:42:36 AM
Agreed on your first comment!

We have customers that demand a 1 up proof for a box.
They don't like proofing imposed sheets with sometimes upside-down boxes.

We are also trying to send pdfs that come directly out of xmf as proofs.
When we impo in ID, which we have been and continue to do then grabbing the 1 up pdf from the art folder for proof is not the pdf that went into xmf.

Fujifilm XMF / Overlapping pages lose bleed
August 23, 2024, 08:20:47 AM
We are trying to "nest" boxes in XMƒ by overlapping the pages in the impo.
We are losing bleed where they overlap. Does anyone know how to override this to allow bleed?
You can see the Green bleed line and there is art extended but does not work when overlapping.

Fujifilm XMF / Re: Transparency RIP Issue
August 22, 2024, 06:26:17 AM
I flattened the file and that worked. 
Also, turning off trapping worked as well.

My real question is:
Is anyone aware of an ongoing known issue? Fuji has some sort of case opened with Adobe regarding this.

Fujifilm XMF / Transparency RIP Issue
August 21, 2024, 09:43:55 AM
We have been using XMF for 5 years and it's been pretty solid.
But this week we had a page that was multi up of the same thing and pages ripped differently.
I have never seen this on any RIP in my career.
I'm told that Fuji has a case with Adobe.
Anyone know anything about this issue?

So we got 2 new cartridges in to test and the P9000 was happy with the new cart. so we're good there.
The 9900 rejected the cartridge so it looks like service is needed on that device.

(Coincidentally it is VLM ink acting up on 2 different model printers)

CMS - Proofing - Printers / Epson Ink Cart Not Recognized
February 16, 2023, 10:26:55 AM
We have both Epson 9900 and P9000 for contract color.
Frequently ink cartridges that have been use become unrecognized by the either printer.
Sometime reseating them help temporarily.
We use always use Epson inks.

Anyone else have this problem?
