Kunnajar hit it on the mark. You should be calibrating from your bundled EFI tools. It prints out some test pages and explains exactly what to do. Did your specialist not show you how to do this when you were trained on the machine? Also, if you want to make life easier, I'd recommend...

Hi Phillip, You know, I just went through the same thing you're going through. I tested the Xerox 770, went back and was somewhat disappointed with the results. It took me hours of looking at the results before I discovered there was something amok. I decided to retest the 770, with my own...

Update 2: (I'm sorry - but this is going to be a long post) I finally managed to get in to see the 770! I was impressed 770's inline spectrophotometer, and the colour results seemed much more consistent than the results of 700i. It's possible the tests on the 700i wan't properly calibrated...

Hi Phillip, You have a lot a lot options available to you. Some of the machines you're looking at, the Indigo 3550 might be a wee bit overkill, considering 40-50K impressions a month (even when considering a 25% sustained growth). The HP 3550 and Xerox 8080 are a bit on the pricey side. With...

Update: After reporting my findings to Xerox, they've arranged a test with their new Xerox 770. They've suggested the quality of output will be improved due to 770's Automated Color Quality Suite (ACQS) with its inline spectrophotometer. I'll report my test results after the demo. Off topic...

Hi guys, Thanks for your feedback!!! It's really appreciated. I finally managed to get an appointment to test the 700i. The same test was run with KM bizhub c6000, and the Docucolor 242, external EFI Fiery and GRACoL, with the following parameters: 1) A file created internally, in...

Hi Airyk, Actually, I have a demo set-up for tomorrow afternoon; I'll be testing the same file and paper I used with the C6000. Of course, these are demo machines - both KM and Xerox, are always going to have them fine-tuned for these purposes. I'm guessing tomorrow's tests on the 700i will...

Hi, Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this! I have been trolling these forums for weeks now, and am still at loss wether to go with the Konica Minolta bizhub C6000 or the Xerox 700i. A little background...I own an Advertising Agency, and we decided to invest in a local Print Shop...

Cheers Che.C, I appreciate your advice. Put in the order for the offline equipment today; just hoping the business is out there to cover the costs.

Hi, I'm just starting out and ordered a Xerox 242. I initially looked at the Light Production finisher, but heard some mixed reviews. I'm just curious if anyone had experience with it. I've already got a quote for an offline paper folder, creaser and booklet maker and am sort of leaning...
