    Canon imagePRESS C600i/C700 vs Ricoh Pro 5100S vs Sharp MX-6500N

    I am looking to switch from a Xerox 700 to a Canon C700. Has anyone done that? Is the quality comparable. Xerox want to up grade me to the Versant 80 but a big increase in cost will come with that upgrade. The Canon's cost will be the same as my Xerox 700.

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    It will run 5000 #10's an hour running landscape but you may have problems with some envelopes running landscape. It will only print 8.5 wide so you can't bleed #10 running landscape either. The easiest way is to run portrait but that slows production down to 2500 an hour. That's usually how we...

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    I haven't done any variable data on my Memjet. But you would think that would be a snap since Rena's background is in mailing equipment. I hate Word too because of the reason you stated. Do you have some of the expensive variable data software that's out there. I do some on my Xerox but it's...

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    They recommended making everything a PDF but I send a lot of stuff straight from Corel Draw. It pretty much works just like ant other printer as far as the interface is concerned so I'm pretty sure any software could be used to send from.

    starting small print shop. need advice

    Another thing is to make sure you can get paper. The paper companies are getting strict on minimum orders and are not real receptive for opening new accounts

    starting small print shop. need advice

    That's a great deal on a 242 That's a great deal on a 242 I just upgraded from a 242 to the 700i. I was paying a little over $700 a month + .075 a click. It's a good quality printer. Some jobs looked better off the 242 than they do off my 700i. You will also need a folder. Baum makes a good...

    Xerox 700i

    Just had my 700i installed last week. Right now I'm having issues with it jumping from tray to tray for no reason. Tech man supposed to be back Mon. to fix it. Any one else had this issue?

    Xerox 700i

    getting ready to upgrade from Docucolor 242 to the 700i. One feature I'm looking forward to is the de-curler.

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    After operating the Mach 5 for almost a year, I still very satisfied. The cost for consumables for corner copy full color envelopes is as advertised. One thing I have found deceptive in their claims is the speed. With no jams or other issues, it will run 5000 #10 envelopes an hour, not 7500. I...

    Complaint about letterheads

    Never had an issue with Xerox Docucolor 242. If I do have a problem in the future, I'll use the Memjet Mach 5. I've already ran several letterheads on it when it's imperative for the ink color and sheen to match.

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    I really can't answer either question at this time. I also have a Xerox Docucolor 242 that I've used in the past for such flyers. I pay .07 a click on it even on tabloid size so I will probably continue using it for jobs like you describes since the cost would be around .009 ea for the flyers...

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    That wouldn't really show you much. I ran a case of envelopes for one of my local competitors and we compared it to what they previously ran on their Heidelberg DI at a tremendously greater expense. I thought the Memjet looked better. It's not quite up to toner quality but thats a much more...

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    So far so good. I have no complaints now. They gave me a full round of ink and a nozzle replacement. $1300 value for my loss of service and funds. They replaced the entire insides of my machine with what they told me was an upgrade version from what I had. I think they called it the Z3 version...

    They are bringing my new machine in tomorrow (Mon). They called and said it came in Fri. I'll keep everybody posted.

    Rena Mach5 to replace my offset press?

    They picked up my Memjet this morning. Supposed to have a new one in 2 weeks. Supposedly, this is a newer version that fixes problems in the first design. I'm supposed to get compensated for my loss of use and employee use during the shot in the dark repair sessions. I asking for at least a full...
