This can be a good resource for Fiery issues https://communities.fiery.com/s/

My Xerox Versant drums ordered in March just shipped. If you fall in love with Xerox hardware, consider Fujifilm if they have service in your area. Otherwise, I'd recommend a Ricoh C7500. You can get offline laminators for foiling and stuff.

Quick test might be isolated the offending printers on their own VLANs to see if there's an OSI model layer 2 issue or firmware bug in the printers. You should be able to do that on the switch without changing NIC settings because inter-VLAN traffic should be handled by a router at layer 3...

ebay has some sellers listing Fiery hardware and dvds.

Boggs Equipment might be another source.

We use a 40 year old Bostitch saddle stitcher that looks similar and its build like a tank. I'd recommend it if you can find one for a price you like and put it through its paces. I see them in auctions in the US pretty often. Not sure on UK sourcing.

If you get one, please share your experience and if it isn't confidential, profit margins using this.

Thanks for sharing! Does the Ricoh C7500 slow down for jobs mixed media weights (ie, 90gsm interior and 200-300gsm cover)?

6 year old V3100 operator here. I've done well over 100k/month when it gets busy.

Not as good as a Versant, particularly solids.

We've been self-maintaining a C75 as a backup machine with days, even weeks of idle time for a couple of years. Partsdrop.com said that they anticipate ample C/J75 parts availability for years because the machines were/are so widespread. I'm considering getting a couple of more for running light...

Also, let us know what the fix is!
