Acetate is notorius for long drying times. Is it beading up or anything? If it isn’t I’d say use a fan with the setting on LOW and cool if you have that – the heat will just warp the acetate. If it is, the kind of acetate you’re using isn’t bonding to the ink and the ink will just flake off.
I’ve always had luck just xeroxing my ink drawings on it, the ink in xerox machines sticks well. Then I always hit EVERYTHING with workable fix.

Do XEROX machines use PM DC motors?
Question by magical me: Do XEROX machines use PM DC motors?
I need a high voltage low rpm pmdc motor.. are they used in xerox machine (coz i happened to read this somewhere on the net)?? If not, where else are they used?
Best answer:
Answer by billrussell42
I doubt it, but there are many thousands of different models made by Xerox Corp. and I doubt even an engineer working at Xerox knows what kind of motors were used in each and every one of those tens of thousands.
There are lots of PM DC motors around, but mostly they are low voltage models. There is no reason to design a high voltage unit unless very high power is required, and high power motors are not PM DC motors.
(I interpret “high voltage” as over 500 volts)

Answer by Marc X
Inkjet printers are pretty cheap these days. Most have multiple functions called PSC (Printer/Scanner/Copier) or All-In-One’s. Some can be bought for under $ 50.
Me, I scan pages on my printer, using Photoshop to import the TWAIN source. Then I can manipulate the electronic image with Photoshop and store it in one of several file formats.

What is the most cost effective color printer (re: cost of cartridges) for a small business?
Question by sharbysyd: What is the most cost effective color printer (re: cost of cartridges) for a small business?
A while ago I purchased an inkjet printer for $ 99.00. I thought it was cheap but it goes through cartridges (which cost $ 25 or more each) like crazy, so I think it really wasn’t a very good deal. My brother mentioned something to me about purchasing a business printer which would be more cost effective regarding ink. I’d like to purchase another printer which would be more cost effective regarding the ink. I’d like it to be an all-in-one (fax, copier, scanner). I’d like to be able to print in color. Any help on this topic is appreciated.

I think Color laser is the way to go for business. You don’t want to buy a pair of ink cartridges that could probably cost you more than the printer.
I am looking at Dell 3110cn printer myself. It’s not a big printer brand name like HP and Canon but it’s actually made by Fuji Xerox. I think it’s the best printer so far I have seen. The paper pass is very simple, just one straight line (the less turn the better for laser printers). Consumables in this printer is just the toner cartridges. You will have some add-on options like duplex unit or wireless nic. The price is $ 424 on their website and the cost per page is like 1 cent per page.
This is the color laser I have been waiting for, Low price with good design. The only problem I have with this machine is it’s really too big for personal use. I am just a regular home user. I don’t have the kind of space for a big printer like that. Otherwise, I would buy it in a heart beat.

What is the best desktop printer out there? Cheap ink, reliable and great photographic quality prints?

Best answer:
Answer by Dubbya
I’ve only ever owned Epson printers and have used them for printing everything you can imagine. Portraits, snapshots, charts, graphics, cards and letters. They produce beautiful photos and they’re a great office printer as well.
I would recommend that you stay away from the Epson Stylus CX series all in one printers though. While they print beautiful photos, a lot of users have had problems with the cartridges and printer firmware. Judging by the reviews I’ve read, they’re not the most reliable machine, especially if manufactured before March of 2007.
Alternatively, Canon printers produce great photos, their fully functioned all-in-ones perform reliably and are fairly inexpensive. Again, look for an older model where compatible or factory remanufactured cartridges are available.
HP, Lexmark and Dell printers all produce good photos and, while usually inexpensive to purchase (lots of them come free with a new computer), the costs for original brand name cartridges can bankrupt you.
Look for factory remanufactured or compatible cartridges from a reputable supplier and you’ll save some money.
Check the Epson online store and their clearance center for great deals and rebate coupons. They offer free shipping and their refurbished printers carry a full one-year warranty.
In some cases, you can buy a deadly machine for as little as $ 50 after the rebate.
If you can find an older or refurbished printer, you can save a pile of cash and compatible inks will most likely be available and provide you with an cheap alternative to original Epson cartridges.
If you’re fanatical about archival quality and cost is not an issue, you’ll probably be happier using the OEM inks and their brand of photo paper as well. If you’re going to be satisfied with good results at a fraction of the cost, look for compatible inks and generic photo paper.
At the very least, you can save cash if you print proofs with the generic paper and compatible inks, then swap in the OEM cartridges and paper to print the final copies.
Before you make your purchase, search some online ink stores to see if compatible or remanufactured cartridges are available for the machine you’re interested in.
Any one of these sites should help you to find what you need.

Answer by Caleb G
If you want the all-in-one printer/copier/fax/photo, you should probably look for an HP. They sell all kinds of business related printers. You could probably find one in an Office Depot or Office Max that could be wireless compatible. HP is the one brand that comes to mind for most business related electronics. They last a long time too. Check out their website too, they probably have one that you’re looking for.

Is there any way to remove unwanted lines from blue lined paper?
Question by asdf: Is there any way to remove unwanted lines from blue lined paper?
Is there any way to remove unwanted lines from a blue lined paper? Sometimes when I draw in school, I’m very proud of my picture and want to move it to a clean (white) paper. But that’s not possible. (unless I’m willing to redraw it or something…) But I think there is a way to do so using a scanner and a computer.
Do you know how?
Best answer:
Answer by Jain
It could be that the blue used for writing paper you seem to be using, is blue so it does not show up when you copy it. Since scanners are relatives of copiers this may still apply, you will need to scan a blank piece and see if the lines get picked up and you may be able adjust the scanner so it won’t see the lines better yet, lets have you pick up an inexpensive drawing tablet so you don’t have to be concerned about the lines.

Q&A: How many types of printers are there and what are the differences ?
Question by babu: How many types of printers are there and what are the differences ?
Best answer:
Answer by Timothy
There are four main types.
Thermal – Like the old fax machines, uses a waxy paper heated to put an image on paper. Some portable printers use this.
Inkjet – Uses liquid ink put through little nozzles that are heated up and force the ink out onto the paper. Most popular
Laser – Uses a laser beam on a photo sensitive film to attract toner (fine powder, no liquid here) and then puts the toner on the paper. Then the paper goes through a fusor to fuse the toner to the paper.
Solid ink – Xerox only, uses wax based crayons to put an image on paper.
Most people have inkjet, or a small laser. Solid ink is for busy offices mainly that want a good quality with good speed.

Is this even possible? And what is the “best” printer brand(in your opinion)?
Question by Kaiyra: Is this even possible? And what is the “best” printer brand(in your opinion)?
So I have a HP Officejet 4500. The first one we got did not have that little white strip on the scanning glass(I think that the white strip lights up).
So we got another one under the warranty, which was not brand new. It had a white strip, and it was visible whenever it was off, and when we first turned it on, it would move back and forth. So a couple of days ago, I scanned some pictures and it worked fine. Then within two hours of my last scanning, I had to copy a document. It would not copy. I looked at the scanning glass, and there was not a little white strip.
This is probably a dumb question, but do those strips or whatever they are, disappear? Or do they evaporate into thin air? Could it have been suspended and supported, and somehow broke whatever supported it, and fell into the printer?
We called the HP support center, said we had to get a replacement, again. But it’s just like before, we don’t get a new one, we just get one that was broken before and was “fixed”.
The printer is plugged into the wall. We did turn it on, and re-installed it again.
Do you have any idea what happened to that little white strip inside the scanner? We are looking to either get our money back, or get a real brand new printer, or just buy another brand that is better and actually works. What brand do you reccomend?
Best answer:
Answer by Sam Vee
I think what you call a little white strip is a flourescent bulb which is part of the scanner. It illuminates the document so it can be copied. And no, it should not disappear. It should last for a number of years. In my years of hardware support, I have installed many scanners and I don’t recall having one which didnt light up. That’s out of hundreds. Something is very wrong when you are getting this many problems. It sounds like whoever is supposed to refurbish these machines is doing a miserable job.
As for the best all-in-one, keep reading:
The Epson Artisan 725 currently $ 99 direct from Epson after instant $ 100 rebate. Best warranty in the industry, Epson will fedex a replacement and pick up the old one at their expense should you need it. The Artisan 810 is $ 109 in refurb with full 2-year warranty. Since you get free shipping, this works out to the same as the 725. A year ago the refurb Artisan 800 was on sale (almost the identical printer). I and many friends bought it. In a year only one (out of at least a dozen) had to be replaced and it took one day. Not mine and I use it heavily. The Artisans are heavy-duty wireless, scanner/Copier/printers, print to DVD, fast, great output. Best of all, you can get ink for under 50 cents a cartridge. You pay under 2.50 for reusable cartridges and then get $ 2 back for the empties. Or you can buy refillables (which is what Im using now) and refill yourself for pennies.
