Thankyou chriscozi for summarising & demystifying the black magic of Fiery.

Yes we've always had one, 20+ years. We (almost) only print 1 up. We print 20-40 files a week. We use the Fiery queue/s, but both the Canon 'Printer Kit' driver (V900) & Ricoh's GWNX postscript driver (C5300s) have these features. An embedded Fiery adds 25-30% to the total cost, (tho we are not...

hi interested to know your v700 is going? as its a strong contender for us also

thanks for replying i understand the only professional way to print these atm is on km 7000 series or higher with the pf812 i will double check but believe the c5300 with pro finisher & mt-761 (i think) can stack 300 x 80gsm bond and the 760 feeder tbc but both can handle much than 741/740 i'...

thanks thanks - 90gsm bond

Just to clarify the fine print, KM year 6 CPC tripled. Ricoh not in writing so not really bankable. Need more clicks to justify new machine repayments. And refurbs, because CPC only 36mths, & sometimes higher CPC, need to cost 1/2 or less (compared to new). Either raise prices, increase...

These machines are all in budget, service is equally good, CPC & terms identical. Very few posts on Canon V700,800,900 anywhere. We print 20000 s/s paper 900mm banners a month, they can all do this. We print 5000 SRA3 coated d/s up to 300gsm per month. They can all do this. We print massive...

Thanks TJ, Yes, I am better understanding the multiple layers to figuring what works best under the circumstances. For me, now that Ricoh are talking potential of 6 year cpc & km 7 (both subject to reasonable t&c), the repayments are much the same as a cheaper refurb (repayments over only 36-48...

IN just 24hours, armed with better offers, Ive sorta moved on from the whole refurb debate to pretty simple choice; Ricoh C5300s or KM C4065? We print 20k cmyk 900mm banners on bond & 5k gloss SR A3 though are soon moving to a minor retail area & plan to gradually grow local work. We also...

We print (& often reprint) single files, (mostly single sided) pretty sure imposition is diy within indesign (templates). Almost exclusively pdfs. Our prepress/production bloke is technically savvy. The only adjustments I know we currently make in the fiery app are to quantities, moving the...

With our 'head office' rented 9 year old C1060 workhorse, which we like & is adequate, we're printing about 22k s/s cmyk 90gsm bond banner prints (325x910) & 5k SRA3 on 150 &/or 300gsm coated per month. But after 5 good years thats about to wrap up. EOL we're told. I prefer to purchase outright...

Thankyou all for your helpful advice. I will see what km & dealers suggest/can offer. Probably the vital issue for me is keeping to <2clicks on 900mm (35.5"), and containing any potential increase. Or 1.5 clicks for everything colour. I think a PF812 is financially unrealistic unless there's...

Thankyou Ynot, that logic I can definitely work with.

thanks kslight I will look deeper into the Ricoh option. Ouch, on that basis we'd have provide our clients 1.5" shorter banners or be hit x4 clicks!

Thankyou Ynot, yes I will be. Will suss C7090 but I'm pretty sure it's out of the ballpark.

In March the service agreement on our old but trusty C1060 concludes, (I believe they can't wait). Looking to purchase a C3080 or C4065, or if affordable C4070... even a C6085. (Ricoh 7200 dark horse). Refurb preferred. We predominantly print 80gsm banners; 900x320mm s/s cmyk, 15-20k pm. Plus...

thanks gailbird65, the names you mentioned & basic summary give me quite a lot to investigate, cheers
