    Black to Black

    On some media I do find there are some interesting clipping issues. We print covers on 8pt gloss kromekote, and grays very close to black are tricky because they get compressed to black and 100% black on kromekote with enhanced gloss mode prints very very black and thick, so you can end up with...

    Black to Black

    I've actually found the black on our Docucolor 242 to be quite consistent and able to get a decent density without fuss. We've printed quite a bit on our 242 and I'd consider the black quality to be one of its strengths. And I was pleasantly surprised to find that ours is able to maintain a...

    Dell LCD Monitor repair? (3007 flatscreen)

    I have a 30" Dell Flatscreen 3007WFP-HC that just went black while I was working - no picture. I connected it to a computer with an EVGA GeForce video card and one with an ATI video card that also worked fine with this monitor before, and the same thing so it's the monitor. Now if I power on...

    black specks on Xerox 242

    Are the spots black spots surrounded by a lighter halo or are they more akin to smudges?

    Best Laptop Brand

    You might look at some of the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablets if that size screen is sufficient. Microsoft is trying to get market share right now with the surface tablets and some of the deals are really good for the tablet/laptop hardware you get.

    1080 hd IP camera web cam choices?

    Your budget may not be enough to get a good high definition IP camera. For some reason the price has stayed fairly high on the name brand high resolution models. Granted, I've only worked with a few IP cameras. I have worked with three different axis cameras, two Toshibas, and on the other...

    Making Impressive Biz Postcards

    Average postcard thickness has gone up in recent years. It used to be that 12pt was common and I remember receiving many postcards that were in the 10pt range. Now however big postcard printers are offering 14pt and 16pt as standard. 12pt is around 250 gsm and will feed on most printers. 14pt is...

    Printer IP

    Optus and Telstra are Australian ISPs. In changing ISPs possibly the router was changed or the ip settings were changed as UnlimitedBT says. I'm assuming the 9800 was on a private IP address before (so you could only print to it from a workstation on-site, not over the Internet). If so, it...

    IR3200 - What's the best paper to use?

    Maybe you can scan a small part of a print and post it to show what you are seeing exactly. Both of ours did exhibit some cross direction jitter that could be problematic in some tones. I don't know that we saw the diagonal that you are seeing.

    IR3200 - What's the best paper to use?

    I like mohawk 32# color copy paper for general flyers. I like mohawk 100# cover for business cards. I also like simply hammermill 28# color copy paper for booklets. I mostly ran double sided one side at a time for better registration when it matters and on heavy stock.

    Does any one prints high quality Photo Book with Xerox? (DC250 or similar?)

    Have you considered how you will bind these photo books?

    Does any one prints high quality Photo Book with Xerox? (DC250 or similar?)

    I'm still very happy with the print quality we get from our 242. We've now put about 1.4 million 11x17 and 12x18 prints on it. About half of what we print is photographic. I think Bill's comment is very accurate "It really comes down to the quality of images you initially have to work with"...

    Xerox 560 vs C75...

    I'm awaiting samples now from both the 560/570 and C75. The advantages of the C75 that interest me are 1.) the gloss patch mode option for printing gloss on kromekote/ultragloss, and 2.) better registration and skew correction options Your volume on the 560 is impressive! (we've run 1.4...

    Looking for advices - How can I make my computer faster?

    I'm still running a set of 4 ocz vertex2 ssds. I haven't had a chance to measure if performance has gone down after 2 years of use. They're still very fast and I have no complaints to date. (I'm running them off the intel controller on board.) I thought I would try the intel 520 series next, but...

    Broadband bonding services / dual WAN routers / faster file transfer speeds?

    A Multi-WAN router is the most cost effective way if the time per file is ok but your current isp line is clogged. As I understand it, with a multi-WAN router if you have ten 100MB pdf files waiting to transfer and you add a multi-wan router and another isp line, ideally half will go over one...

    C75 Gloss Patch mode?

    How does the look of the Xerox Color C75 Gloss Patch mode also called the "Gloss Mottle Mode" in the CED compared to the Enhanced Gloss mode of the docucolor 242/252?

    Pagepack price increase coming...

    P.S. What made you choose the 560 over the C75? I've really enjoyed our 242 and the 560/570 would be an easy drop in replacement, I think, which would be very familiar to us with a noticeable bump in productivity. We like the 242's enhanced gloss mode on kromekote/ultra gloss though and...

    Pagepack price increase coming...

    That's good to hear. When we had Ikon contracts there was always a fear about what would happen if they decided to change. Our Ikon account rep verbally assured us that it wouldn't be a problem but both of our Ikon written contracts still had language in them from the double click for large size...

    Curious if anything happened with this and also if you got the Xerox Color C75. Looking at a C75 now as well.
