My 2nd Colorpress 1000i is coming up for "service renewal" in JULY
I do NOT plan to "renew" on that machine
I am currently running a Ricoh 9200 with a Plock 350 and the "banner" tray so I can run UP TO 13 x 27 inch sheets and 470 GSM
I REALLY like the RICOH, but don't know if I REALLY need...
Months between fuser "service" ???
Months???
What volume are you running. 15k a month?
ANY production machine running "production" VOLUME is going to see FUSER maintenance AT LEAST every 4-6 weeks.
Minimum.
And $100 bucks a month is the "max" you think a machine can eat?
Guess you never...
Do you seriously want to DEAL with a machine (CANON) that has TWO fuser units??
That ALONE is ENOUGH to stay away from that box.
And, YES "power consumption" is a BIG DEAL
I guess you get you power for "free"
We don't.......
I looked at both
The CANON is a POWER HOG
Needs TWO 50AMP legs.
100 AMPS?!?!?! Crazy.......
CANON also has TWO "fuser" units in it.
Hard enough to keep 1 fuser in good shape. Good luck dealing with 2....
Had my 9200 for about 7 months now.
It's a nice machine.
"BRO"
You have NO IDEA what "I know"
I have been dealing with XEROX for over 12 years....
I have been through darn near EVERY possible scenario with them
It is not a "single" REP or SERVICE person that has EVER been the "issue".......
It's the way XEROX does business because they were able...
Thanks for the reply. Best wishes to you as well.
To say that Xerox has had some "less than inspiring moments" with me is the understatement of the Decade.
I could write a book about the "stuff" I have learned / dealt with when it comes to Xerox.
Not say that other vendors don't play "dirty...
I do not work for RICOH.
I used be a XEROX "only" house for about 12 years.
Then when my last "renewal" came up Mother X lost her mind and threw me a $$ number that was from CrazyTown....
That then forced me to look "around"
I learned ALOT in a REAL short period of time about what XEROX does...
How much is XEROX charging PER stick for the Gold, Silver, Clear & White?
Pretty sure those are NOT included in your standard "supplies"
Back on the COLORPRESS Xerox wanted $470 for 1 TUBE of clear....
Sillyness.....
You saying you DON'T do a TON of your OWN maintenance on the Indigo to keep that running?
I have ALWAYS heard this:
If you BUY and INDIGO you better buy TWO
1 that you can "print" on and the other that you will be "servicing"
Rinse and repeat.....
