    Xerox 5000 AP help..

    We have the 5000AP and run duplex 14pt without an issue, the only catch is if that's all the stock you run the fuser will wear out very quickly which means more downtime.

    konika minolta c6000 vs. xerox x700 vs canon imagepress c1+

    I would stay away from the X700, we have had one for almost 2 years and they cannot make it work, a client of mine has the C1+ and he told me its not meant for production work. I have run samples on the Minolta C6000 and found it to be really good for the price point Ian

    What is the best price you have seen on 12x18 12pt C2s?

    Affordable paper Affordable paper Most paper merchants have clearance items every month, check with your sales rep to find some 19" x 25" - 10pt and you can cut it down to 18" x 12" which is the correct grain direction for digital.
