    Printing envelopes with KM-C8000

    I would say no. There is always someone that rigs something that might get it to work. I heard they are coming out with a attachment for the 7000 that will allow you to run envelopes.

    I ran some samples on the KM both standard and textured stock. One thing I did not like was the glossy look even on uncoated stock once you went over 163 gsm. And on a textured stock. The tech went in a changed the temperature settings on the stock and it looked matte much better to my eye on...

    Konica Minolta Bizhub Pro 1200 print density issues

    Their are things they can do. Have seen it on 6500. Sounds like lack of knowledge by the tech. Only thing im aware of is new coronas that might be all you need. But I think their are a few tweaks he can do. Try cleaning them your self see if you see an improvement.
