With CutePDF Pro you can click Impose, set the number of rows and columns, and then set Repeat to Specified and enter the number of copies of each page. For simple tasks like n-uping a single postcard to cover a sheet, it works well for me.

I see now there is also the Meteor digital press (http://www.mgi-fr.com/) which can accommodate a print size of up to 13x26" standard and with the option of 13"x40".

I didn't catch this post from May of this year, but it's quite interesting to see this topic again. When I posted my first reply in 2007 I know I was actually thinking about the very book that I only now in 2011 finally got back to and got printed. I also wanted to do a smythe sewn book with...

A bit of a late followup, but Yani on the CorelDraw forum shared a neat trick. I didn't even think to try, but it turns out you can get somewhere by: 1.) using the 64-bit postscript driver from another fiery rip printer in conjunction with 2.) the ppd for the canon in question which you can get...

I've looked at the xante oki printers a few times now. In my view they are unique but the niche they fill is quite specific. For me, one would be handy when the job is to print quantities of 5 - 150 event rack cards heavy card boards / signs / etc. Or when doing a run of mail merged envelopes in...

Thanks Ken. I haven't thought too much about this as it's been one of those minor inconveniences. The same thing happens when printing from coreldraw to either the canon or the xerox, both with fiery controllers, so I still think it's a random corel issue. But I should give the network another...

First, how slow is slow? Can you give a ballpark time that you are seeing as slow? Second what type of switch is it? If it's a 10/100 and not a gigabit, time to upgrade to a gigabit switch. Third are you printing from a PC or a Mac? Do you print to any other network or non-inkjet printers...

When I started printing digital 9 years ago I started by buying two canon color machines and buying all my own consumables and durables and we did that for a year and around 400,000 11x17 prints until switching to full service contract machines. Often I got good deals on ebay, but that takes...

My pleasure. I believe it will be visually identical especially in terms of gloss quality. I believe 8-bit vs. 1-bit per dot comes into play here. I posted my own observation regarding dpi and bit depth here...

We are at 700,000 on our docucolor 242. To my eye, I like the gloss quality on 8pt kromekote quite a bit. There is a slight "baked" look if you have heavy blacks and look at it from an extreme angle. What people who don't like the look refer to as the "baked look" gets more pronounced on...

If you don't have the budget for the adobe creative suite, have a look at the CorelDraw suite. (I've been using CorelDraw almost daily since 1992)

For what it's worth, I usually cut 1 1/2" of kromekote or 2 to 2 1/2" of uncoated 20/24# at a time on my 4850-95 EP

I've only experienced this issue once with a 3200/3220 and it fixed itself before I had to diagnose it, so unfortunately I don't have much to add, except that the 3200/3220 are oil-free fusers. When a similar issue happened to me, I was running 28# hammermill with a high coverage. Oddly, all the...

I don't have an answer for you as our 3200s have been under service contract since new. If you go into service mode (hit* , then 2+8 together for 5 seconds, then and * again) look at the drum yeilds under copier, misc to get an idea of how many miles are on the drums and the developer in...

Best is to get sample swatches from the press/bindery quoting your project. The LBS website might be useful to you as a reference: http://www.lbsbind.com/book_cloth_cover_materials/arrestox_b-cloth.php which has small sample photos of their selection of: Arrestox B-cloth Pearl Linen B Kennett...

It might help get a better response if you give a bit more detail on what you're setting up to do -- i.e. how much 110# cover will you be running monthly and what kind of speed do you need? I haven't run 110# cover, but the docucolor 250 series will even run 100# nicely. We run a little bit of...

What kind of volume? I haven't run much, but when my order of 100# mohawk 98 cover was "upgraded" to 110# and I had a job to run, I ran 250 sheets of 12x18 110# cover through my old canon irc 3220 and it ran fine, not a single jam. I ran it from the bypass tray and used the small output tray...

Do they need to stay as separate pdfs? For a quite inexpensive price, cutePDF professional would allow you to merge the pdfs into one, then use the resize pages function to resize all pages at once. This is one way to do it at least. The big limitation is that cutepdf can only handle medium...

Sorry I don't have more. I don't know why canon choses to be intentionally vague on the machine's control panel itself as I don't know who that is helpful to. if you find out other ways to display specifics please post here.

If you have a fiery and connect via command workstation, it shows the numerical amount of toner left (%) vs. the vague graphs on the machine itself (but not much else.)
