DCP700 with 1 drawer high Capacity feeder, C finisher/Booklet Maker, with bustled Fiery Rip.
Click rates: 0.088c Colour, 0.012c B&W
Lease: 60 months - approx $2600pm.
Prices include giving me a DC1100 I have had on lease for approx 2 years.(Clear title)
The DC1100 was costing me $800pm in lease cost.
and taking back a DC450 with about 2 years remaining lease at $950pm.

So In short.... $850pm extra lease cost per month, 50% cheaper colour click costs.

Konica are still to get back to me.

I would be interested to hear what lease costs you were quoted.
Hi Oz_Print

Sorry i have not responded to your post earlier, I have not been on here to have a look in a while. I think the initial lease offer we received without any negotiating was about $2800. They threw up rediculous click rates of 14c per A3 and 10c per A4 and I pretty much told them that the could stick that offer.

As I work for a Not for Profit organisation we get certain tax breaks which makes purchasing equipment more attractive (to our finance department anyway) After a bit of negotiating we have been made the following offer.

Xerox 700 with 1 high capacity tray, bustled Fiery and Spectrophotometer for about $118,000 with a click of .095 A3 or A4 no double clicks toner inclusive. Depreciated over 60 months this works out at about $1966.00 per month. We get our current rental of a Xerox 5540 paid out and hold the title of the machine and they are going to add a finishing unit to this machine and it will stay with us as a back up. We are also geting some components of the Profit Accelerator software.

It took a while for KM to get back to me with some figures as well but they are fighting pretty hard to win my business and have come back with some decent figures also.

Hope this info helps.
