What did you do? I am curious as I have a C6100 and want to know if fuser is going to be a problem for me. Most of my minoltas have been pretty good.

What are litho-shells?

We have one and our service guy visits often. Recently had the glue tank break and it took 9 months for service idiots to figure out how to fix it. Luckily I had a spare PB binder and borrowed the glue tank from it.

I came across this article: Konica vs Ricoh: A Drastic Difference Between Costs It's got me thinking. Not sure if this is sales man doubts trying to sell their equipment or if this is something true. I do know that ultimately I would love a machine that was self serviceable. Not requiring...

Yeah im trying to run 18 point (356 gsm) and may do 22pt (400 gsm) soon.

I have been trying to read reviews of the various machines capable of 400+ gsm. Can anyone give any anecdotal experience with their machines when running 350+ gsm stock consistently? I have spent years shoving heavy stocks that were beyond capacity of my machines to the point I bought an Oki...

Maybe I am mistaken but I feel most of these companies are ripping companies off. In some cases it makes sense when they are doing 7+ figures of business online and need a much higher level of service and support. I am looking for something more entry level until I get to that point.

So far the cheapest solution I have found is goprint2. But their solution is running $50/mo. I was hoping to find something $20/mo or less.

Where can I get one of these on the used market? I plan to get perfect binder.

Puch, how much did it go for?

That's disappointing, I was hoping after 10+ years they would improve durability of the unit. I imagine it would go against their interest. What part is the most expensive to replace/fix? Years ago there was issues with fiery controllers failing, I imagine that is not common anymore. The...

Is there such a thing as BW production printer that can print day and night and not need a service technician, just toner and replenishment of wearable parts? I imagine with one toner/fuser less can go wrong. Looking for something that is least headache but prints forever using cheap toner. I...

Thanks. How long do you think the C6100 will last in terms of impressions? The figure I heard for C6000 was 8M. Can the C6100 do much more considering its monthly duty cycle is much, much higher -2M/month? If it did 2M per month for 3 years thats 72M impressions.

What OS does KM controller use? Linux? Somehow windows 10 scares me. If it was XP or windows 7 I would be less bothered. 10 years from now I don't know how well windows 10 is going to fare.

It's not really used. It's sold by the The world's ONLY Fiery-DIRECT Server Controller Solutions and Repair. It's made to order and comes with lifetime guarantee. Now, whether its used or new is not important to me. What is important to me is I don't buy the wrong one. I dont want to be...
