so no one is using PRISMAsync/PRISMAPrepare?

anyone?

anyone...?

Bueller?

Thanks for the post; they only have 2 rollers for Xerox scanners, and neither of them will work.

At the state, we are supposed to come up with at least 2 competitive bids on everything. I can't find a second one, so I have to file paperwork for a, "no-bid."

These guys may have something:

Not sure but maybe worth a look.

nope

Just wondering if anyone is using PRISMASync/PRISMAPrepare so if I need to learn some tricks, I know who to ask

I tried it from home and it flagged the workplace I was trying to login to as a business and would not allow the connection. Not sure how they determine if it is a business or not though.

That's a good question. I was clearly working for a business, operating multiple machines at more than one location and I wasn't doing it because I was looking for a good time. Team Viewer never gave me any guff about that, but every 3-4 hours or so it seemed like I had to restart the client on my end because it'd get sluggish. I didn't have the best monitors at home, but the resolution was pretty good on my substandard setup.

What? They need to make money too? Its a conspiracy!

Try E-Bay? I know people used to sell toner there. It's at least one of the reasons that Xerox started limiting the number of toners a customer could get at one time.

Quote from: jwheeler on April 09, 2024, 03:20:34 PMYou need to group quantities that are multiples of each other. For example if some are 1500, 3000, 9000 you would put 1 of the 1500 piece, 2 of the 3000 piece, and 6 of the 9000 piece. If you end up with one or two that just won't divide by the rest, then round up to the closest divisible number. It will be less costly to give the customer extra prints than to make more plates and do another press run.

Personally, I would make a quick excel chart with each piece name and the quantity, then sort by quantity. Then start your grouping. This will also act as a nice check list for you and production to make sure nothing gets missed.

Pre-planning the above (VERY GOOD) advice ... what's your biggest concern with "waste"? Paper/Plates/Time

If the plating is "perfect" it will likely waste paper ... If the paper usage is "efficient" you'll likely need to make more layouts (plates) ... If changing plates is a concern you're wasting press time. 
Source: I was an edition manager for a daily newspaper publication, and then became a 1 man prepress team for a mon/pop shop - both situations resulted in dealing with arse-holes who'd constantly moan about waste - regardless of how efficient I was!

Anyone know where I can get Xerox production scanner parts other than from Xerox directly? We have several W130 production scanners, and we need to AF rollers for it. It's $108 from Xerox, but I can't find anyone else who might sell this part. Not available from Amazon, OfficeDepot or Staples.
