    Xerox Color C75 / J75 Reviews?

    Anyone here running a Xerox Color C75 or the Xerox Color J75? Any good reviews of the Color C75 or J75 print quality especially over time? Looking at upgrading a docucolor 242 which has performed really well for us over the last 1.37 million 11x17 and 12x18 prints.

    DC242 Driver Dropped the Advanced Finisher (NA)

    On my DC242, if I check the box for "Two Way Communication" under printers, Printer Properties it doesn't allow me to manually add or remove available options. If I uncheck the Two Way Communication box, the Add and Remove buttons function on the left side of that screen.

    Oversized High Capacity Feeder for Xerox 240

    On our 242, there is no comparison between the oversize high capacity feeder and the rest of the trays. Stocks feed better from the OHCF, it's really convenient to be able to load ~2000 sheets at once, and most importantly the registration is noticeably better. Out of 1.2 million prints so far...

    Thank you very much once again. I will give it a close inspection and cleaning.

    Docucolor 242 waste container not present or improperly seated - where is the sensor?

    Well, it worked fine for a month. I tested it a few times after having the problem in March and it was no problem removing and inserting the waste toner container. Now one month later my waste toner filled up and when I went to replace it, the machine again said "waste container not present or...

    Buying Epson New 9800 Printer but Old Ink. Good deal or NO?

    I'm not sure what I would do in this case. The best price for a new 9900 that I'm aware of is around $3,995 shipped taking advantage of a $1,000 limited time rebate and a 1-Year Epson Warranty. What worries me about Epson printers is the possibility of problems with the printheads after a few...

    dc242 vs canon clc4040

    This is somewhat subjective. The best advice is to get print samples printed from both machines from your test files. Sometimes it's not the most difficult thing that causes a machine to trip up for you in the real world, so it's important that you not only make the test files "difficult" but...

    Docucolor 242 waste container not present or improperly seated - where is the sensor?

    A strange thing happened today when trying to finish a job - I removed a full waste toner container and inserted another and the machine said 'waste toner container not present or improperly seated' I tried putting in the first one and got the same thing - the docucolor telling me that the waste...

    Light banding when printing XEROX Phaser 6130

    I'd start by printing a CMYK test page with CMYK screeneed to a lighter percentage such as the attached PDF to narrow down whether all colors are affected or only one, and whether any defects align between the colors or are unique to each color drum.

    Looking for a printer

    How many stickers per month will you be printing? What size are they? How heavy is the ink coverage? For non-fading, if you go with an inkjet printer you want to look for pigment inks. I'm a bit out of date as I haven't looked at inkjets this year, but in my past experience my preference for...

    What do you think of USPS dropping Saturday Delivery?

    It's too bad. Saturday delivery of flats was a good backup for magazines and pieces not delivered on time on Thursday/Friday. People often have some time to read on the weekend, and so if Saturday delivery is dropped it means if your piece misses Friday it's into the next week on Monday. This is...

    kromekote c1s alterantives: carolina c1s , mohawk 50/10 cast coated , bindakote

    I first tried switching to Mohawk Ultra Gloss. It's more expensive which is a downside. The Mohawk Ultra Gloss itself has a very perfect mirror finish surface and a good stiffness. Opacity of the 8pt is ok but not great. Printed on my docucolor 242 in enhanced gloss mode, the Mohawk Ultra...

    DC250 Streaks

    What does a pure black grayscale print look like as opposed to the rich black grays I see above? Have you changed the cyan drum? Next how many prints on the cyan developer assembly? Any visible contaminates on the cyan developer assembly rollers. Next could be very slight toner contamination of...

    Docucolor 240

    First, on the DC240 did you login as admin, then go to adjust image quality and run the gradiation adjustment? Then with command workstation (or from the machine itself) did you do a calibration for the type of paper you are printing on? (I prefer command workstation to doing the calibration...

    Canon iRC3200 - Streak of poor quality print

    You might have a really bad cleaning blade that is leaving that strip of toner on the belt. You can pull the cleaning blade out inside the front door. It's a small handle that has a single screw that holds the cleaning blade in. (best to have a magnetized phillips screwdriver so you don't drop...

    Looking for recommendations on a stack cutter

    I started off with an inexpensive QCM stack trimmer. It worked ok but I found it a bit time consuming with the small clamp wheel on the version I had and it was only 12". I then upgraded to two 17" COME stack trimmers. These had a longer arm to force the blade through stacks of 250 sheets, but...

    Hi guys, help would be greatly appreciated! - business-card-sized cards

    Two things to be aware of as you search for the right printer: 1.) Paper registration and skew -- Small to medium size printers typically have some variance in paper registration. The color to color registration is controlled with a test pattern on the belt to be quite good in my experience...

    Digital Press Dilema

    Have to agree - with only 3000 prints per month, it would be difficult to add a new machine without paying more counting the amortization of the new machine. If you have to replace it, I'll add my two cents. We ran a color image runner irc3200 and a irc3220 both on 5 year leases and put about...

    Xerox DC250, need help about cleaning

    I blew the waste toner off my cleaner blade assembly OUTSIDE. I didn't have a powerful enough vacuum to do a good job getting the caked toner out of all the little pads and crevices. It's good you mentioned this as I learned the lesson not to blow toner off anything anywhere near the machine...
