I service the canon imagepress. Impressive machine. I have a customer with 36 million on one, 27 million on their second. They've run as high as over 1 million a month on them. Both are still going strong and still pretty reliable. Now canon has added a cooling unit and sensing unit to...

Your best bet would probably be to buy a used one and strip it. Canon doesn't support it anymore, if ricoh isn't and kodak doesn't, that would mean parts are done

Not sure on the Arizona, but the Colorado U.V. does need periodic calibration. It will have you do it after maintenance. As the printheads travel the machines constantly check for misfiring/ side shooting nozzles. They will shut down problematic ones and compensate. After maintenance the...

The auto gradation calibrates the machine. Fiery calibration calibrates the fiery to what the machine prints. Technically, if you want to do it right, you start by reseting shading adjustments and initializing when doing auto gradation. This sets everything back to a start point. I've seen...

Truthfully. Lifetime is just what the manufacturer says it can do in a month multiplied by 60 months. These 2i have that are beyond rated life blew by. Especially once canon fixed the problems they were having in the fusers. I also work on the smaller imagepress 800/850/910. They are rated...

I service the canon 10100. Good machine. I have one 10000 (previous version) that just broke 35 million, 1 8000 that has 27 million, 1 8000 with around 10 million, and another 8000 with around 7 million. We sell the ricoh as well. I have no experience with it, but from what I've heard the...

It was the LCT. The software didn't communicate well with it. I believe everything came down to how software worked. It was quirky and the deck from ricoh just works

I service the canon. Very good machine, I have one with about 34 million on it, one with almost 27 million. Definitely a print shop. I have another with, I think, closer to 7 million. That's more used for mailings. We do sell and service the ricoh. I don't service it, so I can't really...

This is the list of approved inks,

The KM1250 isn't made anymore, from what I heard KM was losing money on them. I know of a place that had one. They just replaced it with two of the 135, I believe, models. It would depend on your needs which machine is best. The VP6000 is fantastic, but it's not for every place that wants...

It would depend on ink used. Oce/ canon(now) should have a list of inks that don't cause problems. The copypress technology preheats paper opening the fibers and cooking the ink out. (Does it to glues in the paper too, that's why the VP6000 has glue rollers and radiators).

Service tech. It's a fantastic machine. Toner is actually in the paper. The system works by heating the paper, opening the fibers then pressing toner into it. You can check this by folding the paper in a black area. On a fixing roller machine, toner will crack leaving the white paper...

I'm a service tech who works on canon imagepresses. I work on other brands as well. You should go and run samples on the machines and see what you like. The little imagepress can run for quite a while. I service one with over 17 million, they are rated for 10 million. It's still going...

I would say if you're thinking about the canon, go with the prismaSync over the fiery. They now have a prismaSync light that's lower in cost, has fewer features. Color and registration control is better on the prismaSync, plus it can print further out on the page. For some reason the fiery...

It started life as the i300. That's actually been around a while. I'm not trained, but I've gotten to see the i300 while in training at canon. It's impressive. It's built on site. Has a big dryer to dry the ink in seconds. If it's like the i300 it will need to have water plumbed to it and...

Duplo and fiery are now sharing a template to make it easier. I've seen it on the Ricoh, but I've just seen fiery updates on canon for the same feature

I work for a dealership that sells Ricoh, Canon, Shap. The imagepress is a good machine, it's only rated for 167,000 a month. We figure it's a step below the 7200 in volume. The two machines make different looking prints as well. The Canon has more gloss, the ricoh is more flat. I would...

Now that I think of it, the little oce VP 115/130140 is very reliable. You do have to be picky with paper though.

5 of them and they dumped you??? That's crazy. You might still be able to get a rebuilt 6250 from canon. I honestly don't know if they still rebuild them. The price was lower than new.

That's crap that they would drop you. I service those machines and love them. That ricoh is the old digimaster. Not really ricoh's fault, I used to work on those as well. Even the little Oce VP110-140 would outperform it.
