Or look on Ebay.....the Igen3 is not as popular now that the Igen4 is out. I think there are lots out there.

ouch! there was a rumor that one was picked up for under 10K

I wanted to comment on what, in my opinion may be some mis-information I read in this post....if you have a service agreement that includes parts....dont fool yourself into thinking the service provider is going to pay for all the parts that you will destroy trying to run envelopes....I have...

I find it hard to believe that OCE can not resolve a simple punch issue? Have you asked the "tech" to escalate the issue? They must have some sort of "procedure" for complaints. If your service provider can't fix your "problem" why deal with them. Instead of putting in the effort to be...

I can make anything feed envelopes....quality consistency and creasing is another matter....lol if your demand is that hi.....print the stock and fold it into an envelope after it"s printed. every printer with a color copier has dreamed of this one....they always want what the machine wont...

I have never had any real luck trying to pull this off.....it's hit and miss at best.....you can try making several adjustments to the equipment...but that is far too time consuming.

if you are looking for quality...continue to outsource...there is no way you can compete with a real experienced print company equipment wise. I am of the opinion that the finisher does help to decurl the stock. why would you buy used equipment off a lease that is probably full of air....with...

why take a chance? Go with what you know works.

If you want to be "competative" can tell you that find third party support for xerox is more extensive than canon....after all....it is called xerography...there are lots of good used machines out there and support sites.

everyone points a finger at the stock...that's the stock answer to any problem! I would suggest that you vist a few technical sites and find out what the guys that fix these machines think....it's amazing what you can find out when you talk to a tech'

The problem you face is that if the stock has been sprayed, the powder that comes off of it goes everywhere and you can't stop that. Most people try to run it but eventually give up due to frustration from perpetual paper jams. Using a Xerox with air knife feed heads and belts solves the problem...

Can you run 14 X 17 / duplex / 110 lb / with a perf and a heavy solid and outstanding halftones / with a readable bar code on both sides on a Videojet ? I find that's a typical job and quality is critical.

Run it on a Xerox with "air Knife" feed heads...any machine with feed rollers will give you grief.
