    Unlimited Data 4G Cell Phone Plans

    Also found the following which I believe are sprint resellers http://www.broadbandqwireless.com/ which offers a 60 GB sprint plan for $139/month but with a $279 activation + equipment fee BroadandQ has an unlimited plan too for $119/month; however it's only 3G speed (also on sprint I believe).

    Unlimited Data 4G Cell Phone Plans

    I looked at Millenicom's coverage and it's not as good as Verizon or ATT (no 4G one place that I will be going regularly, only 3G.) I'm not sure if they are still selling service provided by sprint. Searching I found this...

    Dell LCD Monitor repair? (3007 flatscreen)

    Well, I never had time to fix it, so I ended up selling mine on ebay "for parts or not working". The person who bought it posted in the feedback that it was an easy fix and they already got it up and running. Thanks very much for the lead anyway. If I had less work I would have taken a shot at it.

    How does 4G LTE compare with DSL?

    I got setup on ATT for now whose 4G is actually HSPA+ rather than LTE. The speeds I get on speedtest.net from the ATT 4G setup are 5.85 Mb/s download and 1.34 Mb/s upload speed (and 88 ms of latency). I ordered a unite mobile hotspot to see if that gets me anything better than my iphone personal...

    Unlimited Data 4G Cell Phone Plans

    Are there any true "unlimited data" 4G Cellphone Data Plans? Or are there any major savings for people who use 4GLTE to send very large files frequently and need a lot of data? http://www.bluefirebroadband.com/plans advertises Unlimited 4G $125/month 6 Mbps Download 3 Mbps Upload but I...

    I need to buy a used Xerox 560/570

    A very broad generalization, but the sweet spot for us with printers of this size is between 0 and 550,000 11x17 prints. After that we tended to see more issues with toner getting where it shouldn't inside the machine (e.g. into the ROS assemblies, even after cleaning and disassembly by a tech)...

    Toner economy. Please help!

    In the US, at around this volume we found it more economical to lease a new printer under contract which included a full service and supplies contract and paying a fixed click charge per print for the duration of the 5-year leases. (negotiated this way so it wouldn't go up every year.) Before...

    C3200 Blurry Color Printing

    If you can, scan and post a small crop of a sample print showing exactly how it's blurry. On our IRC3200, a number of times we got toner under the transfer belt and this caused the colors to lose registration with eachother so C M and Y were offset by a fraction of an inch. Under service...

    Dismantling a docucolor 260

    It's no problem to remove the touchscreen. From memory, there's a metal bracket screwed to the side of the machine to which the plastic "shelf" is mounted (on which the touch screen pedestal is attached.) The touchscreen has a cable with connector so it's easy to unplug, the remove it and the...

    C75 Gloss Patch mode?

    Got a set of print samples back a while ago and forgot to update this. The Gloss Patch mode is not as glossy/wet looking as the older 242 enhanced gloss mode. To my eye, the C75 toner is more like the KM 6500/5500 toner was on kromekote than the 242's toner; in the print samples which I asked to...

    UV coating or Lay-flat film

    I'm getting quotes on a project that's bigger than what I can run in-house. I thought I would have the covers uv coated, but I have an interesting quote that has gloss lay-flat film specified instead of gloss uv. Any thoughts on how lay-flat film covers compare with uv covers? Is there any...

    How does 4G LTE compare with DSL?

    I know this is a broad question and probably still very location specific, but I'm wondering how others who have either Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile 4G LTE and use it on their laptop find their connections compared to their hardwired DSL connections. I'm wondering how fast and consistent...

    Printing a coffee table book in a vol of 500 - 1000 copies

    Printed conventionally, there is probably not much difference between 500 and 1,000 copies in total cost. I'd also ask for a quote at 2,000 or 2,500 copies which we found was a sweet spot for us even though it meant after the initial rush of orders we would store stock for 5 years before...

    Xerox Docucolor 242 Streaks on all colors

    I wish I knew. I couldn't visually see any toner on the mirrors, and it was debatable whether I could see any color change on the white swabs used to clean the mirrors, meticulously. I think the only thing you can do is to do a print before, do the best job possible, and then do another print...

    Xerox Docucolor 242 Streaks on all colors

    Ours was not easy to clean and took a few tries. (I print a sample sheet with solid blocks and gradients of C, M, Y, and K before and after cleaning. If it's the ROS and its cleaned, if it doesn't solve it at least you should see movement of all the defects.)

    Xerox Docucolor 242 Streaks on all colors

    On ours when we had something that looked like this, it was the actual ROS assembly. On ours the ROS contamination caused both the indistinct soft-edged light streak like you have in cyan and the harder-edged narrow streaks like you have in black. We started by swapping the drums and then...

    i need help please (clc 3220 c1)

    I used a 3220 for many years and I never had a laser issue. A few times I had toner get under the transfer belt causing one color to be offset from the next and the fix was carefully removing and cleaning the underside (inside) of the transfer belt. Also our 3200/3220 fusers would die by getting...

    i need help please (clc 3220 c1)

    Can you describe more what you mean by "image trembling". Or can you scan a small section that shows the problem and post/attach it so we can see what you are seeing. Normal troubleshooting is to determine if the print quality issue affects all colors or one specific color.

    black specks on Xerox 242

    Attached is an image of the two screws to remove. Once you remove the screws, you would pull it up (in this photo view) and it will click off. Once you do it you get the feel for how it fits in - the first time you have to be careful and work it a tiny bit being sure not to hit the belt to get a...

    Can someone help me with some info on the right printer/copier to buy

    Two things that small printers are typically challenged by are registration and heavy stock. For 14pt, you'll need a printer with a good feed wheel on the tray with a (fairly) straight-thru paper path (not one that makes it turn a sharp bend.) For registration, you'll probably be ok for...
