Thank you. I was surprised when they came to me with this offer. It all seemed rather inflated to me; but, I wanted other input. I will be speaking with them tomorrow to see what they have to say.

Thanks for your input. I am actually planning to talk to Xerox tomorrow. I believe they have a used V180 locally. I let you know what I find out.

So, I finally got a quote from a Konica rep. I'm going to ask more about used equipment, as I'm not ready to go all in on my side job. But, I was quoted a new C4065 with high capacity feeder (LU-202XLm, and FS-532 finisher with SD-510, Fiery, and Envelope Fuser for $37,338 and $346/month...

I finally spoke with a Konica representative on Friday and am working with him to see what they recommend and get some pricing. Konica Business Solutions and Marco haven't called me back yet. I left messages with both and filled out their online information request forms. As for other brands...

I'm still really struggling to find a Konica dealer in my area. I've filled out the contact form on Konica's official site. I've called Marco, who apparently took over some smaller dealers that I tried to call. All I can get from them is an email wanting to set up an online meeting. I called...

So, how do I even go about finding an authorized dealer/servicer of Konica Equipment in my area? Or, are there third parties that handle service contracts? In searching the internet, I can find a Konica Business Solutions office fairly close to me. I called; but, I only got an option to leave...

Thank you all for your advice. I called around today to find my local Konica and Xerox reps. Although, I am adventurous I would like the reliability and piece of mind of something newer that I know who to call when I can't resolve the issue. I'll see what they have to say. My issue when...

What are your thoughts on buying a used Xerox Versant 80? I bought this KM C8000 back in February (I should have done more research). The C8000 has its problems, regularly; however, I have managed to keep it plugging along this long. And, I have gotten my couple thousand dollar investment out...

50k? Most of what I am doing is NCR, so the volume adds up fairly quickly. But, I certainly don't feel I could run a successful business and pay overhead on 50k impressions a month. I will certainly take a look at the Versant line. Are there certain models to avoid on the used market? Thanks

It varies, being a part-time gig that I hardly advertise. But, I'd say that it is probably 20,000-30,000/mo. currently. But, of course, I do plan to slowly expand that (reliable equipment would make me more apt to take on more work).

So, the conclusion among most people about my recently acquired Konica C8000 is that I should get rid of it before it causes me more trouble and get something different. I'm running it; but, it has been a struggle with every job to keep the thing going. I just finished 3,000 NCR forms on my...

Thanks! I've found it a little difficult to find good information about previous models.

Yes, I've tried it every which way. Today it ran pretty well. But, who knows about tomorrow.

@jwheeler Thank you so much for the help and encouragement. I am really convinced that it occurs exiting the fuser. When I first tried to run the machine, it would jam coming off the fuser almost every time. That is when I cleaned the separator claws, played with the fuser exit roller...

Did anyone ever solve the bent corner issue on the KM C8000?

@Ynot_UK Unfortunately, I have come across a number of such opinions of the C8000. I probably should have spent more and gotten something a little newer. But, I made the effort to get it, install it, and do a little electrical upgrading to run it. So, with the service manual, ebay, and my...

That's a good thought. Heavy coverage may make the problem worse; but, it has the issue with virtually no coverage.

I picked up a Konica Minolta C8000, perhaps that was a mistake. Although, I have no complaints of the image quality or feeding of heavier stocks. Naively, I thought I might use it for my color NCR work. But, I can't seem to get it to feed Excel One NCR or any lighter paper without issues...
