We are a service bureau looking to purchase a digital printer. After reading through the forum, there is no comparison between these two models. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Chris,
my first suggestion is to contact your Xerox representative wherever you are. If in the U.S., call 1800ASKXEROX; if not, go to www.xerox.com
Your Xerox rep will provide you with tons of information, facts and industry related articles about these 2 units, and don't forget to ask also about the new Xerox 700 Digital Color Press, it's incredible : http://www.xerox.com/digital-printin...-700/enus.html
No, you may want to look at any 5000 or 7000 stats, this device is using like technology but has a greater ability to process heavier stock. The 700 is still too new to create comparisons other than MFR spec sheet.
I am going to be rather cheeky now, if you are in the uk why not use us???
With an igen, and large volumes, the price with click rate means I can offer very low prices to trade people.
I just completed a comparison of these two printers and decided to go with the Konica. 252 contains many plastic parts and flimsy construction compared to Konica. During a demo the printer did nothing but jam which was embarrassing for the Xerox rep. 50 ppm vs 65 for the Konica. Cost of total ownership is much less for the Konica than Xerox. I was also very surprised at the how good the Konica quality was. It also ran different substrates (100# cover glossy, label stock, etc.) very well.
