Thanks, we were sold the policy under the insistence that it was compulsory yet we haven't had to use it so we feel it is a miss selling. We're looking for people who bought a Konica Minolta in the UK and didn't have to purchase the RIP maintenance agreement. We're not looking for evidence...

Hi all, Just a quick question. Anyone who's bought a Konica Minolta digital printer, have they been told that the monthly RIP maintenance fee is compulsory, or on the contrary have they been sold a machine without the fee in place? Thanks, Andrew

We have for sale one of our digital printers, a Konica Minolta c5501 with approximately 275,000 SRA3 clicks on the clock that still prints as good as day one. The printer comes with a high capacity input tray with fan assist, high capacity output stacker, in-line folding, collating and stapling...

To update any interested parties we are looking for approximately £7,500 net for this machine.

Hi all, We are undertaking a remodelling of our business, aiming to work more on an outsource basis and offer a greater variety of print at the same time. As a result we are looking to sell some of our existing equipment, mainly a KM c5501. This KM c5501 has worked flawlessly since we had it...

For sale, slightly used Konica Minolta c5501, ~400,000 A4 clicks (5,000,000 service life). Includes: main printer, high capacity input tray, output stacker with booklet finisher, internal Fiery RIP with ES-1000 spectrophotometer. Full service contract with Konica Minolta included with the...

Thanks for your reply. With hindsight I could have bought a machine with a lower RRP such as a Konica Minolta MFC and received higher print quality in all areas mentioned, the fact the suppler sells other manufacturers such as Toshiba, Konica Minolta, etc...should have meant they recommend...

Hi Roman, Thanks for your message. The thread isn't a request for assistance, I've been arguing with the supplier/manufacturer for over a year now and they've thrown in the towel on fixing the issues, but insist I must pay their service contract. I'm trying to obtain a list of other peoples'...

Hey guys, If you've ever had an es3640 or es9410 and have had quality issues could you briefly outline such issues here please, I want to understand if I'm alone with my frustrations regarding this machine. Thanks, Andy

This is a common clause, however I insisted it be removed in the contracts I've signed and suppliers have done so. Smaller suppliers are likely to enforce this due to costs involved, however when purchasing from a large supplier if their finances are so bad they want to charge you for toner this...

Hey guys, I'm pursuing a fitness for purpose claim against a printer manufacturer and am looking for UK (England and Wales) similar cases. I'm doing a lot of net trawling but if anyone here has successfully won such a case I would like to hear from them. Basically taking a company to court to...

Hi Emtri, Thanks for your reply. I tried WD40 on the rollers (a general purpose oil/lubricator) but it didn't help. One fix is to physical turn odd sheets over so every other sheet is in effect "upside down", a bit labour intensive and useless on duplex stocks though. I'll ask a tech about the...

Hi guys, I'm having some problems with my c5501, not worth a tech call just wondering if anyone else has experienced double-feeding on 300gsm silk coated card? The card doesn't have a lot of static and slides around quite easily but for some reason the printer double-feeds or refuses to feed...

Xerox do have a good rep in US, Ikon rebadge Konicas and their service seems to be universally crap! Thankfully the UK is geographically smaller and we've got 6 KM production specialist technicians within 90mins drive, in fact we've had 4 call outs (machine wasn't actually faulty, just operator...
