Printing books on digital color printers

[aclea]

I am interested in hearing about your experience printing books on digital color printers and would appreciate any/all comments you have about printing books on Ricoh C900/901, Konica Minolta c8000, Xerox 7000/02 or 8000/02, Canon C7000VP/C7010VP or any other digital color printer.

Especially interested in the following:

* What types of books are you printing?

* What are the average page counts?

* Are you using coated media?

* Does your printer run at rated speed when using an in-line perfect binder?

* Do you believe you have a unique workflow?

* Are covers inserted in-line?

* Are covers in a separate file from book block and both files submitted together?

* What percentage is the color content? Area coverage of the color pages?

Thanks in advance for your comments.
