Thanx Brad, is the e-310 capable of creating multiple up, 2, 4 or 8 up on a page?

As an extension to my previous message, here are the differences in the E710 and E810. E710 has 366 mhz. processor vs. 500mhz. for the 810. Unless the user is ripping very large files, this speed difference will probably not be worth the higher price. The 810 also has a dual processor option and a larger hard drive as well as option for a 2nd hard drive.
The 810 also can run the Fiery DocBuilder Pro page impositioning software and Fiery Freeform software. Briefly, DB Pro allows the user to combine the work of different users even across different platforms into one document. For instance, if you have 12 different designers each designing one page for a calendar and some use macs and some pc's, you can combine and alig their work on the fiery and output as a single document.
The Freeform software allows customization of a basic document on the fiery. For example, you have a direct mail going to 100 clients and you want to personalize each one with the clients' name etc. You can do this by adding the customization the basic document resulting the fiery ripping one document and printing vs. 100 different documents, increasing speed and reducing network traffic dramatically.

Art is right about the Splash being MAC friendly,at least that's what X will claim when they're in a mac enviroment. Since the rip software actually runs on the mac box / platform it certainly can be percieved that way. The Fiery Z4 (aka. E800 for the 6010} which will be the E810 for the 6513 should be available in a couple of months.

There are lot's of issues that need to be addressed on the EB-70 and the B&W Fiery's in general. Things like certain features missing as you mention here, not being able top push the drivers out over the network the way you can other drivers, not being able to print from the AS/400, etc. I've been sort of hacking on Ricoh about it being a step backwards in compatibility, not to mention the price premium to add it to an existing placement. They'll probably just remove my postings from the League about it.....
Thanks!

However, I believe they know they have an issue with the fierys. Awhile ago, Ricoh had the peerless print controllers and no fierys for the black & white. Canon just had the fiery for thier high end (however most of thier placements were in P4P), Canon switching to a regular print controller & still offer the fiery solution to add placements in corporate black & white market. Ricoh did away with the peerless and only has the fiery. Smaller dealers will pay the price for knowledge.
I believe this is why we have the demorama on the 1105 series with the eb fiery, bring back the peerless controller and give the customer the option.
