RIP (which one) or no RIP? What driver are you using - PS or PCL? What software are you printing from? If you convert to CMYK and send a CMYK file instead of the RGB file do you see results that match your screen more closely? Did you do a full auto graduation adjustment and then calibrate...

Thanks for the reply Jack, but a 12" x 16.5" maximum size seems too small for my taste for a puzzle and I can't find any larger option referenced on that site. Do they do larger?

Color Network ScanGear does work fine with vista business 32-bit version. Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit? When you launch the "ScanGear Tool" from the start menu, does it allow you to select your scanner from the list of scanners it discovered in the middle box and shows the correct ip...

What is the ballpark cost of your illumina toners Carl?

For flyers and handouts, I'd start with a docucolor 252 - call xerox or your xerox dealer and get some pricing details on a machine and full service contract including supplies and service. If you want to do it on the cheap, you could also get a refurbished or used 240 or 242 or 250 - (same...

Where do you get this figure??? We've run 1.5 million prints on our canon 3200/3220 and don't get nearly this yield. Can you point to anyplace canon claims 25000 pages at 40% yield for their cartridges vs. 5%? I'm quite sure it's 5%. If not the canon cartridges we get in the oem canon boxes...

What is the model of the large Docucolor you found pleasing at your local printers?

I've found our doc 242 to be quite a workhorse; 60,000 is about 2-3 months use for us. Only if I couldn't get a service contract. I think it's nicely economical compared with other similarly priced and sized machines based on the number of prints actual vs. rated per toner cartridge compared...

Others here have far more diverse experience than me, and far more experience with mailing and postcards so hopefully someone else will jump in. No printer in this ballpark (price/size) will slit or cut them for you inline that I'm aware of. I'm honestly not sure how you would best cut the...

I can't see this being economical in a million billion trillion years unless you have an absolutely fantastic source for epson (compatible) ink (if you do, could you please share it!!!) The click charges should be pennies per square foot, vs. the epson ink which is quite expensive. Plus the...

Do I understand you correctly that you're saying that if a drum fails it could dump so much excess toner that this could damage the fixing unit? (I'm only a printer, not a tech, so there's lots I haven't seen. Just haven't see anything close to this on ours)

With 400,000 on the meter now, I still love our docucolor 242, although it's all a matter of perspective. Anyone with a larger machine (e.g. 700 or the big machines) would probably not call the 242/252 series production machines, but ours has worked quite well for us. We typically put 25,000+...

Oh, "Or drum units is also consumable?" That seems like a question of contract language. What do you mean exactly? The machine calculates the yield percentage as you print, but you can commonly print well beyond the 100% yield up to 200% yield without issues with the color drums especially...

I don't see how the fixing unit could be broken because of bad drums. How exactly is your fixing unit or drums broken? I don't quite follow. Over the past 7 years, our drums fail by either: 1.) in the case of black, losing the ability to print midtones after 50% to 100% yield. As use continues...

I can't give you any advice there as I've never had the non-rip print card to print to; have only ever had the 3200/3220 with the feiry c1 or c2 RIP. How exactly is the print letting you down vs. the copy.

The 3220 has its faults (gear jitter that comes and goes especially in medium grays, fairly weak black, doesn't look great on gloss stock) but it is better than many that came before it. On the plus side it's not difficult to service from a customer point of view to keep it up and running on a...

Do you have a RIP or no? With the RIP, we started using the PCL driver and found the output somewhat lacking punch. It was probably more neutral, a bit cool. I then switched to the postscript driver with the fiery which loses a bit of shadow detail but ends up with a nicer punchier black and...

I'm surprised the copy quality is greater than the print quality. We've always had a basic fiery bustled rip with ours, but I find the print quality preferable to the copy quality. I most often scan and print to get a nicer result than a straight copy from ours. Although when we got ours way...

I haven't looked at digital duplicators in many years. I looked at a riso & ricoh digital duplicators ~7 years ago because of the economy, low maintenance simplicity, and speed/ease of use for quick turnaround economy jobs, but I don't think it will come close to the quality of your 3200. I...

If you have a full ITB assembly, it's a piece of cake. If not, it's hard to describe the process to replace the belt itself; it's not difficult if you watch someone first. But it's hard to describe in text. (I've only done this twice now to clean the rollers under the belt and then replace the...
