Re: Stuxnet Lives!
A COMPUTER virus created to sabotage Iran's nuclear programme and stop Tehran developing an atomic bomb was designed by American and Israeli experts, it was claimed yesterday. The Stuxnet computer worm, the most sophisticated cyber weapon ever made, crippled uranium enrichment facilities across Iran last year and set the country back five years in the nuclear arms race. US military and intelligence sources have told The New York Times that a simulation of Iran's uranium enrichment facility...

To me color is so subjective. What environment is this in? You need the file to print. The paper should be the same as well. This is a tough one my friend. If you can't get I would walk or low ball the deal.

The last thing I'd do is lowball that deal. If you win it on a lowball bid and the customer isn't happy with your image quality they are going to torture you. You're going to need plenty of margin in that deal to make up for the aggrivation you are going to get out of it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and advice. I did send them an email this morning regarding the Fiery could have been used from the K-M machine. Did not mention Paper Stock, I will make sure that is equal also. I don't have the machines in my showroom, but we do have them in the field, perhaps a field trip to a customer site is the way to go, showing them the samples right there. Then maybe K-M can do the same. Will let you all know when I do.

Re: Why is single clicking an 11×17 on a “copier” legal?
Actually, the real misleading practice is when the machine is set to double-click 11x17. It is one piece of paper, one printed page, one click. Like having a car odometer that registered two miles when you drove the car one mile uphill, or registered two miles when you drove one mile at high speed. The industry simply developed its own conventions with the single/double click convenient for both the end-user and the dealer. Rather than a click rate for each paper size (similar to two...

Re: Why is single clicking an 11×17 on a “copier” legal?
A Konica Minolta Banner sheet is technically only one piece of paper. Are you saying that it should be single clicked also? The only reason that this is an issue is the common practice of Print for Pay shops to run all or almost all of their letter jobs two up and then cut them in half. The end result is to produce 10,000 Letter sheets, that is what they will deliver to their customer. But the choose to do them two up on 5,000 11x17 sheet to cut thier cost in half.

Re: Toshiba 6550C Help!
The e6550c is a great copier. It is in its second generation and has very few flaws. It has a low breakeven cost per copy. It can handle high volumes. The only limitation is that it is not designed for glossy or coated paper. It can do glossy in low volumwes not at all coated.

Re: Toshiba 6550C Help!
Graphic Artists using a CLC & Fiery clearly care about quality first & foremost. I would use the fact that the Toshiba doesn't do Glossy or Coated paper and make that the biggest issue (If the device you are selling CAN do those stocks). Vince
