Anyone working on a Xerox Iridesse? Is there a way to add a new section for the Iridesse where we can share information?
 
    • Sorry for taking so long -- new Iridesse subforum now added as requested.

    Look forward to hearing more about your experiences!

    Thanks very much in advance!
     
    Ive just learned of this press lol

    watched the youtube demo... Looks cool. Little too dainty for what I do with the IGEN. Also prints will be too nice at 2400/2400 LOL

    It is too dainty... Warning to people looking to replace their iGens with an Iridesse. DO NOT DO IT. It cannot handle the volume like iGen.

    What problems have you been having? Do you have an Iridesse or is this feedback from someone you know who has one?
     
    Got an Iridesse in Feb 2020 and have had sooo many issues...first was registration was a nightmare to keep but got fixed after techs did lots of work and then the transfer belt slipping out of place happened about 20 different times in 2 weeks but have not had that issue again and now the cleaner cant keep up with the work i have and empties back into the machine!! good times!! (think thats fixed but i wouldnt know because its down for jamming and now a bad power supply.....GGGRRRRRR
     
    The Iridesse is basically just the newer version of the Xerox Color Press 1000i with some upgrades. Wouldn't recommend replacing an Igen with one of these unless your volume is 250-400K per month.
     
    Hey,
    I am operating with the Xerox Iridesse for the last two years and I was looking for a forum to share experiences to solve some issues with the other people. So I am looking forward to share and get ideas.
     
    • We've had 2 Iridesse units for about 15 months now and have had ongoing color consistency issues. Main problem is that we print a large number of business cards with a solid PMS549 backer for a customer. Color shifts within a run, from run to run and from day to day. Same file, same stock, same profile, etc. Xerox has sent in specialists, escalated multiple times to Level 3 engineering, and sent in countless techs to assess the problem. They have suggested: we're not using Xerox paper, to humidity/environment, to lack of operator training (especially insulting), and everything else they could think to blame it on, even saying that PMS549 was a "special color". Our Xerox technical guy swears it's a Fiery problem, but Xerox refuses to try another Fiery, stating cost concerns. We've even tried printing different color files on consecutive days and it won't hit those colors consistently either. With enough operator intervention, we can get the color to hit, within an acceptable tolerance. I don't think we should be putting in that much work to make the machine print any particular color.
    My question: is anyone else out there having ongoing color consistency issues with the Xerox Iridesse?
