Some service manager is causing headaches here for printers for sure. Simple solution. Keep purchasing Titan but buy a few reams of whatever those techs find acceptable. Then when an issue pops up throw in a ream of the canon approved stock. If the problem still happens place a service call and...

Hey, Id just urge you a little more caution when considering Xerox and their financial status. We jumped ship last year/this year because of what all was going on. We were on the edge of dumping them because of loyalty but after speaking with the tech's about how the service calls were being...

Hey, I might be interested. Where are ya located?

Did you mean to say lease payment or do you mean click charge increases? I’ve heard of click charges being increased but never heard of them increasing lease payments

Have you gotten pricing on the proficio line? Just curious what they’re going for as someone else mentioned in another thread they were a huge markup over the Versant line. Also, I’d stay away from them as X will most likely be going under at some point this year…

Care to explain it a little further?

So I purchased a Versant 80 off a shop last year. He had mentioned something about a tech doing something to toner reads but I didn’t catch it. Basically what it does is the machine and fiery always show 100% for the toners but it still gives a “change X cartridge soon” and then will stop when...

If your pretty knowledgeable and a DIY attitude the FB marketplace and, surprisingly still, Craigslist are great places to find deals on equipment. eBay isn’t bad either but most stuff there tends to be higher priced.

I agree with most of this except part of the Xerox claim. I think the Versant line, especially the 180/3100 was a great printer. Our 3100 was a workhorse and did 10 million prints. But the primelink and iridesse lines aren’t any good IMO. I’m not sure why Xerox even bothered putting out the new...

Gotcha. Thats different than what we experienced with our 3100. But we also didnt have the 2nd btr go out as quickly as your explaining most times. With ours it only really started after long runs of coated stocks. And wouldn't actually do it on the coated stocks during that run. We would see it...

I don't think it's that Xerox wasn't expecting shops to run coated stocks. I think it was just something that didn't end up being an issue until they got them in the field and places started realizing that the 2nd BTR was doing this. And if im correct, it only does it after a long coated stock...

I can see this since Xerox is strapped for cash already and just had to move some IP stuff to secure a $500 million or so loan to pay their debt. Plus they just laid off like 1000+ employees a couple weeks ago. At this point they’re just kicking the can down the road my a few months with this...

Thanks for the leads. We currently have a 3100 and 180. Honestly I don’t mind doing registration on the 180. Seems like the 3100 is hit or miss at times. But not really looking at a refurbished unit either. Hoping someone has one sitting off to the side that they did a lease buyout on and just...

Just wondering if anyone has a Xerox Versant sitting around they dont use anymore thats off lease? Looking for any model really but would prefer a V180. Hit me up if so!

Certain jobs are easier to estimate than others. Honestly AI helps a lot with it as well. It'll give you good ideas of coverage and then you can input toner cost and use manufacturer coverage vs actual coverage and it'll spit out a pretty realistic cost. Once you do it so many times you can...

It's one of those things where you just have to know the machine in order to make it "easy to maintain". I konw the common and alot of uncommon problems with Versants so when I see a problem happening I have a good idea of what to look for. But id be lost past general printer knowledge on Canons...

Wow, your transition point from digital to offset is only 500 clicks per side? That seems extremely low from what ive heard. We're digital only so we don't deal with the transition in house. I would think you'd be up in at least a couple thousand range, especially on 4 color work. So for example...

The machine we don't have a contract on is a Versant 80.

Id have to disagree with you on this for the most part. I think you'd be surprised at what savings could be had by having an off lease/maintenance machine and self servicing it. The key is that you have to be knowledgable of the machine. I have 2 machines, 1 that I self service. I bought it for...

Theres always gotta be that one guy who's a showoff.... just kidding man. Thats an impressive company profile and wish you continued success at it! And even cutting half of those subs with affinity would be a huge savings!
