Xante CL30 HSE (Heavy Stock Enables) in St. Louis

[candycartons]

Asking Price: $950
Xante CL30 HSE (prelude to the Ilumina) prints up to 330 gsm, 16pt no problem

I make custom-printed cookie boxes for my clients and bought this printer a few days ago from a sign company in CT. I ran 200 test prints on 16pt SBSC1S folding carton stock and everything worked flawlessly. The prints look far better than the Ricoh 3260C I currently lease but... the consumables are too high and I'm worried about not being under a service contract. Though Xante still carries all parts for this machine, they will not sell me a service contract.

SOOooo, I bought a Docucolor 12 instead and won't have to worry about service or consumables (I simply pay 9.2 cents a click).

This press was replaced by the Xante Ilumina. They're all simply re-engineered Okidata's made to accept thick stock. Check out Xante for more info.

I'll be posting a video tomorrow of this machine printing on my 16pt paperboard.

Here are the usage and consumables stats:
PAGE COUNTS
Color Page Count = 38,526
Mono Page Count = 1,996

DRUM LIFE RAMAINING
Black = 92%
Cyan = 92%
Magenta = 96%
Yellow = 92%

TONER LIFE REMAINING
K = 94%
C = 81%
M = 86%
Y = 24%

BELT & FUSER LIFE REMAINING
Belt = 97%
Fuser = 99%

I can palletize and have ready for shipment at a loading dock in Fenton, MO for an additional $100. This machine is around 150 lbs. When I first bought it a few days ago, they shipped it to me via FedEx Freight and it cost about $180 to go from CT to Saint Louis, MO.

I'll remove all toner/drum units and pack in separate box as recommended by Xante.

Please don't hesitate to call me personally with any questions.

Also, why did you have to buy new fuser just to be able to run 16pt? Is yours a CL30, or CL30HSE?

I had to buy a new fuser, and yes it is the CL30 HSE.
I CALLED THE MAIN PLACE IN BAMA AND CUSTOMER SERVICES TECHS WERE UNPROFFESIONAL.
WHEN I ASK ABOUT THE MOTHER BOARD AND THE RAM CHIPS I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME ALMOST $3500.00, AND I WAS TOLD IF I DIDN'T SEND THE MOTHERBOARD BACK IT WOULD COST ME $5500.00, GO FIGURE. AND SINCE ALL THE DEALERS STILL HAVE TO GET THE PARTS FROM THEM.
THE MAIN PLACE IN BAMA. ALA IN ALL MY EXPERIENCE WITH THEM HAS LEFT A SOUR NOTE WITH ME.
BUT THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
