If you're having all those problems with the 850, I'm going to say your service isn't very good. The prismaSync controller shouldn't be buggy, and with 1 click you should be able to see the image about to be printed. Color adjustments are another click from that. In fact what you see on your...

Ozone outside reacts with sunlight becoming smog. Power demands would depend on how your electricity is generated. If ozone is a big worry, I would say look for machines that charge with pin arrays or charging rollers. Charging rollers generate no ozone, the way pin arrays work generate...

Ozone is generated on some copier/printers. Typically your eyes will burn and you'll get headaches. Any other smells could be from the process. Extra ventilation never hurts. The old kodak digipress had a smell I don't think I'll ever forget.

Sorry I didn't respond. It's mainly the amount of glue in the paper that's a problem. There's a listing of recommended papers available. What would happen is glue getting into the drum and requiring cleaning

There's a reason it costs more. Canon did change a setting for the 710-910 series. You can choose speed priority to keep speed up. You can barely tell in print quality. Yeah, the 10000/10010 series is way better. Print quality is better too. The 3 digit series machines are for light...

Active registration uses two sensors and usually 2 motors to change speed on sides of paper. Not active registration is paper hits a registration roller, stops and buckles to straighten. The V10000, V10010 series uses a metal edge on operator side to butt the paper against and the registration...

I don't know anything of canon having density problems across the sheet. They've had shading correction for years. Drums are organic and charge wires and grid get dirty. Shading is to adjust for that. The gradation problem talked about here is different. The toner plant fire was konica...

I don't understand this. Shading adjusts for differences across the drum. It wouldn't help with gradients. It's meant to help with variations in things like drum surface and charge. I guess I'd have to see samples. if I couldn't figure it out, I'd take it to our print consultant. Grays are...

I service it. It's actually a very good machine. No active registration though, so that's not great. I would recommend the prismaSync over fiery. If there are problems with calibrating lighter paper, there's a way of using the recommended media and set it up so the machine makes up for...

Don't do VarioPrint and pre-printed media. There is a specific ink that works, I don't know it off the top of my head. VarioPrints work by pre-heating paper to open fibers. Ink cooks right out. The VP115-140 series has a setting for pre-print. It slows machine considerably.

Only the same in that it uses ttf belts. The DP has a metal drum, uses no charge, nor optical discharge of a photo conductor. It's all magnetism. It makes a complete blackout, then turns off channels and pulls toner back off using a magnet. No glue rollers like the 6000 series, that's why glue...

What exactly are the marks they are replacing the drum for? I've had one of those drums last 32 million prints. If it's just spots, and doing the drum clean under maintenance doesn't work, they can be cleaned with brasso

I service the canon VarioPrint. Great machine. Picky about paper too. Otherwise a million between calls isn't a problem. TTF belts need to be replaced after a million though

Canon has just released the imagepress V1000. Based on the 910, but not the same machine. Completely different fuser area. Supposedly the bigger machines are changing as well. I've heard speed is increasing as well

Oce does, it's how they control who works on their equipment. Some of the newer models actually have the service manual in the software of the machine. That way we only have to carry a key, not a whole laptop. Canon's prismaSync has gone to the Sam key for service mode, but not for manuals...
