Based on my experience diecutting thick sticker media with a Summa S2T, you'll go through blades like candy and constantly need to make cut pressure adjustments cutting cardstock.

You might need a creaser folder like a Horizon CRF-362 that die-creases before folding. Here's a used unit in the western US. I think they go for around $40k USD new. Horizon CRF-362 Creaser/Folder - Print & Finishing Solutions

At your rate of use, you can probably get a number of additional years. Supplies and parts should mostly be the same as the V280, which I'd guess has 5+ years of parts gmsupplies.com for toner and drums and some parts partsdrop.com for other parts This forum can help with problem diagnostics. A...

explain bleeds and identify bleed issues. Bonus points for AI fixing of bleeds to that could handle vectors and bitmaps appropriately, and be smart enough to not mirror text into bleeds.

The EX-P4100 Fiery sucks because it uses a spindle hard disk and is crazy slow on boot ups, updates, and memory paging (makes command workstation and Acrobat slow). The 3100 engine is pretty easy to work on, but goes through 2nd BTRs and fuser belts like candy. The drum and toner issues have...

Buy an existing printshop to avoid having to learn the city, regulations, customers, suppliers, etc from scratch.

I concur. Working on getting a Canon Colorado M3 Pro!

How is the Epson for the support experience and ink cost?

The inkjet nozzles are probably super reliable because nozzles are a center of excellence for Epson, but I'm sketched out about mechanical longevity and lack of RIP software. The WF Enterprise only comes with a 90 day warranty. That is a red flag to me and shows a lack of confidence in the...

What is your budget and monthly volume? I'd take a look at used BW toner machines if you can get them and have access to parts.

Request samples from your files. I'd worry about toner and drum costs and color drift from drums aging with a Xante rig, but I don't have first hand experience either either vendor.

Install VMWare Fusion and run CWS in a VM with an OS version of your choosing.

Post in the EFI Communities and/or see if Ricoh has a Fiery helpdesk that can do competent diagnostics.

I don't know.

It would be interesting to compare the corrected photo output to competing photolab equipment like 12 color inkjet fine art printers and HP Indigos.

I use an Epson ecosolvent and I've seen output like that. Reducing the platen gap eliminated it. signs101.com is a more wide format focused forum than this one. Other troubleshooting to get more saturated color: -profile the media -run more passes -look for ink limits and curves in the RIP that...
