I bought this a few years back direct from Intec but mid way through setting it up, our business changed to the point that I never finished setting it up and so it's unfortunately never been used. The feeder still has its zip ties in place and the included compressor is still sealed in its box...

Finisher now sold so just the printer available now.

Would be interested to hear what you get offered by Fuji as we will be upgrading in the next year.

I’m aware this forum is mostly non-uk but I know there a handful of UK printers in here so thought it might still be worth posting this. We are moving away from printing rolls of labels so are looking to sell these two machines (either separately or together as a bundle). The VP700 printer...

Personally I’ve never ran into an issue that was caused by having a bundled fiery instead of a standalone one. I feel like for most people the only advantage of the standalone is being able to plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Tell the Xerox guy that you’re the customer and you’re not...

With Imposition Studio it’s $199 for a single user license with 1 year of updates or $399 for 3 users and 2 years of updates. Just a one time fee. You can then pay an upgrade if you want the new version when your updates run out or can just continue running it without updates which is what I do...

The price they've quoted for the Primelink seems very high. We had a quote about 2 years ago for a Versant 280 with the same options as you (minus the impose licenses) and granted things have increased in price lately but we were quoted £493 per month over 5 years and I'd argue that the Versant...

Hmm I'm suprised that KM have said a machine wouldn't cope with a lot of mono work. With the 18k sheets of A4, it was 100 copies of 5 documents ranging from 40 to 140 pages so wasn't viable to sub out unfortunately. Had we been on a service contract there would not have been any money in the...

@Eclipse We are in the UK as well so feel free to pop me a message...always good to network with other print shops :) When we started out we started with a Xerox C560 (refurbished) and I hated that thing. I swore I'd never have another Xerox again. We replaced that with a brand new Konica...

We used to run KM before getting our current Versant. The KM ran silk stocks without any issue and much preferred the machine overall to the Xerox Versant. However, the KM uses corona wires and we ended up having to replace them quite frequently but they’re cheap and easy to replace.

Yes but what I meant was surely the coating is there for a reason so if the coating comes off, will the pressure roller continue to function correctly?

Will it ‘settle’ then after doing that? The company I got the roller from have been excellent so far but I don’t want to get it replaced if it’s not actually an issue as such.

For those that are familiar with Xerox machines… We have a Versant 80 and it’s leaving black marks on prints. We have recently fitted a new fuser belt assembly so know that’s all good and a tech we know said it sounded like the lower fuser pressure roller starting to disintegrate so we replaced...

Not overly keen on the fact it says it corrects the alignment in up to 16 sheets...

We do quite a lot of coated stock on our Versant 80 but yes the 2nd BTR's are a joke. We've only had to replace one in the past year so I do feel like they're getting better and I'm contemplating buying the parts to refurbish the old 2nd BTR (you can get a 'compatible' refurb kit with a mettle...
