Great to hear!

If you are still wondering how the belts differ. There are 3 types: intermediate transfer, intermediate transfer / H, intermediate transfer / C. / H and / C supports textures paper, simple belt does not support. / C service part only. Usually belt / H is used. Dedicated connector is used to determine the type of tape. Without it - simply belt. Blue - / H. Black - / C.

Interesting, I had no idea, thanks for that!

Use 409 cleaner to clean your solid ruber rollers (never alcohol) and leave the foam typ rollers alone. You can use a soft brush maybe but no liquid. You find the soft type foam rollers in smaller machines and somtimes for secondary transfer. (Not the main transfer unit).

So I watched this video and it was really helpful, the rebuild went fine! Thank you so much. I opted for the 400 PM kit which includes all the parts for this and also the lower transfer roller that is not part of the intermediate unit. Any suggestions/video on doing that?

Thanks for all the great videos. Can you advise on how to find and fix jamming on saddle stitcher c8000 Fs521. Any help would be appreciated.

thank you for the continued support you offer through the KZread channel. Now we have been having a huge challenge with our C 3070, it all started with an error C 2221, which kind of meant the transfer belt unit was not closing properly, we figured out it was somehow an issue of some drums , once we changed them, we now encountered another issue, the printer cannot finish running the gamma quality adjustment or even colour registraton. It brings error C 2802 which has something to do with magenta drum issue. Basically now we are down and we can establish what the issue is, have you encountered such an issue , and might you have any advise? By the way we also tried changing the transfer belt but nothing changed the gama and colour adjustments fail. Looking forward to reading from you,

Thanks for another enjoyable video. Can I please ask as to what is your cut off point when it becomes more financially viable to use offset for full colour? Is 5k SRA3 sheets with A5 leaflets printed 4 up viable or 2.5k more realistic? I'm trying to get a few costings put together before I open my shop in March, Covid restrictions permitted . I come from an offset background so this is all new to me.

@orestes29

3 жыл бұрын

It depends on your labor and click costs. Generally it's not ideal to print leaflets (the same thing over and over again, i.e. non-VDP) in a digital press unless someone wants them delivered here and now. The final pricing for the job will be very high.

@caileanmoore2835

@@orestes29 I have 2 Xerox machines which I've purchased outright and most maintenance work is being done by myself so I don't really have any click charges. There must be a maximum number of SRA3 sheets that are viable on a digital press before they become too expensive to print.

@orestes29

3 жыл бұрын

@@caileanmoore2835 Yes I also own and maintain my digital presses on my own. Sure, you put in the labor to do what it takes to keep them running properly, but consumables aren't free. Say you print 5k 13x19" sheets with heavy coverage. That could easily use up a set of CMYK toner, and that's around 150-250 euros depending on your machine. Whereas if you printed it with your offset press (assuming you have one, even a two colour machine) you'd only have to pay for 4 plates (assuming the job doesn't involve variable data). Even if you don't have an offset press, it would probably be cheaper to outsource. Digital presses can't compete with offset in things like leaflets that many people want to buy in vast quantities and for cheap. Nevertheless, I'd say maybe for around 500 A5 leaflets digital would make sense? You can print more, but it's going to be much more expensive for the customer and most customers won't be willing to pay that much and understandably so. It really depends on the application. It wouldn't make sense to print 5k SRA3 sheets that are the same exact thing in a digital press but it would probably make sense in things like what Dan is doing, printing books where each page is different.

A lot of good conversation going on here. I would say find a trade printer and get their price. When you can beat their price run the job in-house. When you can make the same profit outsourcing or printing in-house. Then you can send the job out, or keep it in if you want the work. The key is to accurately keep track of all your costs so you can calculate your true costs. Most of what I print is low ink coverage so my costs are low.

dang.. first view and comment. More vids please. Love your work.

Hi Dan , first of all i would like to thank you for all movies, and always for super explanations of the problems and solutions. Realyy great job as well as normal daily job :) Some mechanical solution are so easy, but effective :) think about 3d printer to use some printed parts instead a pencil :) i wold like to ask you for an advice. I use Xerox machines and OKI ES 9431 for preprint, and small ( very small ) production. I am thinking about buying Konica ( used ofcourse, new are too expensive for me). Which will be better for start ( spare parts cost , (maintenance i do myself), print cost, print quality etc..) Pro C6000 or 6500 or 7000. Thanks.

Try different paper maybe? Lower the power pressure setting, change paper setting on the press. Sometimes paper curl will go away after setting for awhile. Try flipping the paper and printing the other side first.

I’d be interested in paying you for 30 mins to an hour of your time to just ask some questions to help lead me in the right direction. I make my own printed items and sell them online and right now I’m buying it all from China I was hoping to bring it in house in the USA and start up my own little operation in the states to print my stuff. Would love to get some tips from you.
