    Recent quote on Iridesse?

    So we did consider skipping the booklet maker / square fold but it looks to only be adding roughly $100 / mo. on the lease which is about $6k so we think its worth it.

    Recent quote on Iridesse?

    I had them run a sample business card today with "thermography" and you are correct - it left a lot to be desired. I really am impressed with the silver and gold though - really looks metallic / shimmery. We saw a sample using clear and I wasn't blown away, maybe because it was done on a coated...

    Recent quote on Iridesse?

    I did ask for a fixed click charge and they said basically that, that it will increase the click charge so I plan to ask for a 3% cap instead of 6 and see if that goes anywhere. We are waiting for final numbers later this week after they check credit so we will ask the outright purchase price to...

    That's good to know. We sub out a decent amount of thermo stationery, envelopes, bus cards, announcement cards. The ability to do that in house would be a nice bonus.

    Recent quote on Iridesse?

    My husband and I have been discussing this and I've been saying the same - that we get only CMYK version since we don't have a demand for the specialty colors but he thinks if you are going with that machine then you might as well have the 5th and 6th colors and do your best to sell it and add...

    Actually no, that base is included. Thanks for your response.

    Recent quote on Iridesse?

    I actually just realized there may be a base service charge ($700ish) in addition to the usage and the lease. I remember that being glazed over so I'm double checking with the sales reps. That would seem high, no?

    Recent quote on Iridesse?

    Anyone get a recent proposal on a Xerox Iridesse lately? Machine with std high capacity trays (not vacuum feed), 5th and 6th color station, GBC punch, in-line booklet maker and square bind - 4,800/mo for 60 month $1 buy out, .03 color click, 6% cap increase for first 5 years. We are located in...

    Justifying Equipment Purchase... Recession... Financing Options - HELP!

    I totally understand your point. The issues with the 1070 unfortunately are the high click, but also its much slower, has a crappy saddle stitch unit, and can't run anything thicker than 80lb cover duplexed so it does serve a purpose in emergencies, but also isn't the best substitute. I do...

    Oh wow - do you have to open the flaps of #10's? What sizes have you attempted?

    Justifying Equipment Purchase... Recession... Financing Options - HELP!

    Sounds like you're able to pump a lot of work out of that machine - I saw your volume is pretty high. I think my opinion is skewed because of how much our 1100 is down it seems like we are always behind but if we had a machine functional 95% of the time I think we'd be able to print a heck of a...

    That's terrible! What part of the country are you located? The Xerox reps we've spoken to say the supply issues are easing up and that the Iridesse uses different toner etc.. but I don't trust much I hear from a sales rep!

    Justifying Equipment Purchase... Recession... Financing Options - HELP!

    Oh interesting I didn't think to ask that about the GBC unit - I'll definitely check. I agree I've heard many nightmares about Xerox and supply issues. I also don't love what I'm hearing about Ricoh charging $10 for each service call and toner supply order. The sales rep we spoke to said it was...

    Pre-covid around 150k per month. Recently around 80k per month but we are outsourcing all our decent size volume to 4over or others because our machines are always down.

    Sorry if I confused you - 5k per month was for the Iridesse! What type of volume are you running on your 9210 and 12000? The 9210 is another machine that we've considered but with the finishing the costs really start to add up.
