I am no lawyer, but I can't imagine there would be an agreement that would be 100% enforcable, especially when you factor in marketing and free will/market. I agree with the 'find and build a good relationship with one or more printers' approach. We are a digital shop that outsources any large...

We have only had ours for about a month now (replaced a still working Oce 9400). Everything works great. Have a few small quibs with the print driver ui, mainly how the custom sized sheets work but it's a minor thing. All in all happy with the foot print, quality and speed (faster would be...

We've got a 4112 and have no complaints. Our local (and regional for that matter) techs are great. Never been down for more then a couple hours and that would be a rare occasion. The biggest problem we have had for downtime is when the imaging drum or cleaning web suddenly gets to end of life...

We have ran two DocuColour 242's for several years in our shop combined they have done about 500k impressions and we have had one service call on one of the machines (resulted from someone running an incompatible transfer paper - fuser change) and only had to work out a few initial kinks on the...
