1.1M isnt' a ton of impressions, but without a service contract of any kind any printer will be stupid expensive to repair/maintain. I have to agree, that kind of money would probably be best spent on something newer/better.

any time a new machine comes out, there are always bugs... we were the first company in all of Denver to get a J75, it literally JUST came out. If you want to talk about "buggy", you should have seen the release of the Canon 7000VP LOL! Most are not "problems" per'se, I've just been...

how old is it, impressions, etc? I'm guessing being a church, it probably has a lot of miles.

Lets see if this even will attach... this is my test file: 1" Squares, making an 11x17 image on a 12x18. Printed 1-sided you should have a perfect 11x17, printed 2-sided you can easily see registration as well as any stretch/magnification/reduction. All you need is a reliable inch scale

oh, and just to let you know, if you can enter the maintenance panel on your KM, there is a "magnification" entry for side 1 and 2. Our KMs were all set to zero and couldn't print an 11x17 image on a 12x18 (front or back). The real problem with our KM650 was that if you entered a value big...

shrinkage can be a problem... all depends on your tolerance for your final product, but a good design should have enough bleed to more than compensate. I have personally had issues on our old KM machines where you couldn't get more than 1 crop mark to align because they were printed skewed...

While I can't say to the quality of the CREO in the last couple of years, but I would highly suggest testing it and testing it HARD before committing to a CREO (*COUGH* Fiery EFI #1!). I had a CREO controller about 10 years ago, they were junk. Wouldnt' take a calibration even if you handed...

very interesting to hear all your comments about the KM7000/8000... we had considered an 8000, but overall were not impressed with it. Honestly, I don't think we could have done better (cost for quality) than we got out of our Xerox J75s. Front to back registration is almost always damn near...

I did tried to slip-sheet each sheet... wasn't working so hot with my machine :/

There is a new "Pre-Magnetized" laser-compatible stock available.. curious if anyone else has experiences with it? Nekoosa Coated Products- Digital MagneCote I can give my little experience running it... it is an interesting twist on printing media to say the least. It comes *Pre-Magnetized*...

Alps gets my vote... if you want to do it in-house. Alps is what we use for printing gold foil on certificates. I don't know about printing on envelopes, as well as most printers do not print very close to the edge... if you have a LOT of them to print, the Alps is *slow*, I would recommend...

what kind/brand of stock(s) are you running? I have had some stocks, like Hammermill 28# 12x18 that never lines up from to back, due to their milling the sheets in a rhombus. I have also been told that some very heavy stocks have registration issues on the KMs.

thanks arossetti! ***Oh, rereading my post, I forgot to follow up on the "noises" the 770 made printing on 300gsm. The 770, while it ran 300gsm duplex without any problems, it sounded horrible... LOL You could hear the stock "hit" each bend/roller/module/etc. The J75 does NOT sound anything...

Actually, I'd love to hear of any bugs/problems you have encountered with your J75s... my list is quite extensive LOL

that by definition is called a slide (if you are in the photo industry) or "transparency", same thing

You are actually trying to replicate a traditional photographic projector slide, with a printer... the problem you will experience is a printer moir pattern combined with a digitized image. I actually have no idea what would be the best method "in house" to make them... I would recommend...

So our school district recently went through a couple of months of sorting through vendor proposals and finally demoing certain models that fit our criteria... exact details (i.e. dollar amounts, etc) can't really be "detailed" as the proposals all had confidentiality agreements attached. This...

very interesting review read! I could piggyback my own review, but alas I'm not a typical thread-jacker, so I'll probably be making my own review thread LOL! I don't have the experience with the 7xx models to make the comparisons, but I can surely compare my experience with Konica-Minolta...
