or Stoli? Have a few drinks and it will look just fine (or everything else will look fuzzy and match).

Finally fixed! The problem was a bad laser. About a month ago, a tech pronounced the 250 in good working order despite the problem, based on readings/reports from the printer itself. But the tech working on it recently agreed that the problem was obviously with the black only, and targeted the laser. New laser = fine prints. Whew! That went on since February!

The problem is with Xerox in general.  :laugh:

Our 250 ended up in Mexico.

My old shop sold a press (a Heidelberg SM52), and it went to Mexico. Then, they decided they wanted it back, so they bought back the same press... but when it arrived it had been retrofitted with Spanish language membranes over all the formerly English keys. And they never re-retrofitted it back to English!

I worked on a Hell Chromacom Combiskope for years and all of the keys were German. You get used to it after awhile.
