    OKI 9431 alternatives more suited for our business

    I've spoken to a second-hand dealer and he can offer me this machine for 3750 euro (before negotiating) The machine is from 2008 and has programmable features. It seems reasonable, but before making the 100km drive, I'd like to make sure the machine fits what we're looking for

    @Ynot_UK Thanks for all the info and tips! We will cut coated paper, so the foam pad will be a good addon. What did you pay for your refurbished 4850-95EP?

    OKI 9431 alternatives more suited for our business

    Hi @jwheeler I appreciate your reply. We will look at used units. Preferably we buy something for the long term, but that might be difficult with our budget. I've been seeing a lot of used Ideal/Eba machines here that seem to have programmable measurements. If we would extend our budget, what...

    OKI 9431 alternatives more suited for our business

    We have decided to go with the Konica Minolta C4065. We settled on 5.5 cents per click which we are happy with. Now that we have the printer, we need one more essential machine: a paper cutter. Do you have any recommendations in the < $3000 range? Electric and durable are very important...

    Yes, if we end up printing less, we will have to pay more. The net difference is only 1750 clicks because the 75 euro service cost was a low quantity fee and worth 1250 clicks (75 * 0,06) In the end, the difference between 2000 and 5000 clicks is ~100 euros, which seems worth it. We have...

    Great advice again, thank you all! Today we visited Konica Minolta to take a look at the C4065. The quality of the prints is stunning and the machine looks very well built. Out of the box, with no color adjustments, everything we printed looked great. Compared to the OKI 9431 we tested last...

    Thanks again for the recommendations and comments. We have made an appointment for upcoming Tuesday at Konica to test the printer. @jwheeler I've talked to the dealer, and they told me that the price is for a3, making the 19 cents per print make more sense. Regarding the b&w printing, we would...

    OKI 9431 alternatives more suited for our business

    Hi all, Thanks for your great suggestions and for taking the time to respond to our question. Outsourcing is not an option for us since we focus on handmade and all of our products are made by ourselves which separates us from other sellers. We are currently looking at the Konica AccurioPrint...

    OKI 9431 alternatives more suited for our business

    Hi, We run a small stationery business and print on sticker paper at home using our HP Smarttank printer. We have outgrown this printer, it is very slow, pixelated, and very limiting in terms of paper gsm and size. For the last few months, I've been researching printers that fit our current...

    Printer for rapidly growing (art) stationery business

    Hi SoggyWinter, Thanks for your suggestion. We have looked at printing outsourcing, but since we currently have around 100 designs, this doesn't seem to work for us. Besides, we haven't been able to find a supplier that prints on (90gsm) sticker paper with consistent coloring. Finding a...

    Printer for rapidly growing (art) stationery business

    We create art stationery (mainly paper stickers) for our website. Take a look at lettoonstore.com to get a better understanding of what we're trying to accomplish The Epson Ecotank ET-16650 looks like a solid candidate, but I'm not sure if the color will be sufficient enough. Printers are...
