Thought I’d post an update. I finally heard back from Konica today and they’ve essentially said that if I commit to buy our next press from Konica, they will hand over the title of our current C3070 free of charge (I’ll just have to settle the remaining lease which is only 3 months anyway)...

Yeh I did have the option when I bought my Konica but it was about £16k and I was only paying £20k for the printer itself. Bought the printer direct from Konica UK, and paid £22k+vat for the C3070/stacker finisher with stapler and hole punch modules/3 tray oversized feeder. One option I may...

We have a Konica C3070 and a Xerox Versant 80, so both are a generation or two behind what you're looking at. The Xerox has some features that I wish the Konica had (such as automated front/back registration adjustment), but in general I much prefer the Konica. I feel more comfortable...

As others have said, it's a bad idea. You can only rely on the support guys so much but there will still be things they'll expect you to pick up and sort yourself, so having zero knowledge about printers is probably not a good place to start. Then there's the cost... Even if you were doing...

Agreed... a number of channels I subscribed to have even gone as far as to make their own private communities on their own websites, etc. They then have loyal fanboys that talk down to you if you dare question it...it just strikes me as a kick in the teeth that I've subscribed to you for years...

Going by the specs, looks like a decent machine.

I'm truly baffled because the C70 is much much older than the Versant 180. The Versant 180 is only 6 years old compared to the C70 being nearly 9 years old. Is it Xerox direct that are telling you this, or is it a reseller? I half wonder whether they've got stock of C70's to shift so they're...

36 months - when I bought my Konica, I had a quote for a Xerox Versant 180 with the production booklet finsher, dual high cap trays, only thing it didn't have was the square fold trimmer. The price I was quoted was £23,000. I'm actually waiting on a quote for a Versant 280 now so will post when...

I go through stages where I wish I lived in the US, but then threads like this make me so grateful I don't. Here in the UK, a Versant 280 with everything you've mentioned would be around £1,000/month max (about $1,270). Honestly, for $2471 I'd definitely be shopping around, and definitely look...

Where about are you? The Xerox C60 is a fairly old machine, it was originally released at the end of 2014. The Versant 180 is much newer, though I still wouldn't say it's worth $23,000 unless prices are way more where you are than where I'm from. If a Versant 280 is out of your budget, I'd go...

Apologies, I know this is an old thread but can I ask what you pay for PrintIQ? It really frustrates me that these companies don't advertise their prices.

Hmm definitely more research needed them. Last thing I'd want is to stump up £4-5k and then find it needs a Ricoh connected to work.

Any thoughts on Plockmatics? I’ve heard you can buy the ones that usually come with Ricoh presses and use them as manual feed.

Yeh that’s what I thought. A dealer I spoke to was saying he’d expect it to be higher and then quoted me £10k for a refurbished 2060. Will definitely check with them on the click rate. Thanks

When I got the price from KM last year it took a long time to get and I'd even told them I wanted to buy a second machine but wanted the title for the current machine first. I do feel like maybe my best hope would be to tell them I'm getting a quote from Ricoh or Xerox for a new machine. Out of...

Yeh I think offline would be the way to go. I remember when we bought the Konica C3070, I was blown away with how expensive the finishing modules were compared to the likes of Xerox. As an example, we had a quote for the Versant 180 and the decurler was about a third the price of Konica so...

Thanks. Yeh it’s met our needs for the most part. The main issue is down to user laziness (aka mine) in not setting up papers properly so front to back registration isn’t spot on but it’s one of those things on my list to sort when I’ve got time. Everything else has been sorted by the support...

Yeah, so basically spoke to the lease company who gave me a 'settlement figure' to pay off the remainder of the contract. The settlement stated 'without title' and when I queried it, they told me the machine would go back to Konica (I bought it direct from Konica Minolta rather than a reseller)...

Can I ask what you pay for the V1000?

Also interested, though I was told the white ink isn't the best. We currently have a VIP VP700 (same as the Afinia L801) but would love the option of white ink on clear.
