Xerox Colour 1000

[geoman]

Well, the machine is all together now… and has a pretty green light on the top of it.
The machine does look quite impressive I must say and the RIP is very fast. 9 processors, adobe will use six of them at the same time, dual something or other, got bored at this point……. Just let me print something ….. anything…..
day 5

Which printer server ("RIP") did you get with your machine?

We are on day 3 of our X800 install - should be running tonight.

Is it all up and running?

I'll get all the specs and come back to you

Yeah we have been running non-stop since last Friday. 1 of our trays is broken so we only have been able to use 3 but I don't have time for them to take down the machine to fix it yet.

We have the FreeFlow server and it has 24 gigs of ram. Just eats files up.

OH NO! ..... engineer has arrived with a big box???? They are replacing something???
Day 6
Oh yeah, we are running FreeFlow on our whole print platform

It's all go, the RIP on the 1000 is 5 x faster than the 8000AP, we had a race.....
Quality is so much better, not as washed out on solids as the 8000. now starting to play with the clear toner. I understand in a month or two there will be a setting on the printer to do a flood seal with out having to set it up in the document. Not sure if you guys have this MOD already.

[arossetti]

The flood seal you speak of is currently available on the Fiery RIP I believe - they are working on doing it for the free flow.

We have put together some marketing material and re-did all of our business cards using the clear - we were able to do some cool designs. I will say it will take some playing to figure out what backgrounds support the clear. We have done some spot clear on images or certain center peices of artwork and it is undetectable. So designing for clear you need to be really aware of how it is going to print.

What design tools are you using for the document creation?

Really interested to hear how you're both getting on with the 1000 after a few days running?

Hi
The 1000 was running really well! RIP's really fast, prints at rated speed - so far printer has not caught up with processing which is always a good thing. quality really good. We are doing some testing on stock types at the moment, have printed on 45gsm and upto 400gsm both on duplex. Specs say 60gsm - 350gsm (will be pushing a little further to see how low and how high we can go) Did you notice the "was running really well" at the beginning of this, we now have a "sub system fault" not sure what this is. We are starting to play with the clear toner now and running stocks through twice for textured papers. so will keep you informed. If any one has idea's on how we can further push the limits of this machine all comments welcomed. Or if anyone has any pitfulls same applies.
