I bought the machines through dealers, but have them all on click contracts for the service. It is the only way to go with these machines in my opinion.

Best overall would probably be the DC250. The main downside to the DC250 is the front to back registration is not as good as the DC5252. Having said that, I thought the registration was good on the DC250 until I got my DC5252 which has perfect registration, so it's still pretty good. The...

In my opinion, the Canon C1 is too slow. We went for a reconditioned Xerox DC250 which has been great. We have also added a DC12 and DC5252 since as business has been so good.

I think the Xerox silk may still look a bit too 'coated', as it is! Successfully running uncoated paper on a digital press really depends on the press you are using. For example, today I had to run some wedding invitations on Zeta hammered board (obviously uncoated). Tried it on my Xerox...

I've moved from OKI to Xerox and not looked back since. OKI machines work well in offices, but have a long way to go before they are ready for the print market.

We had a Morane a year or so ago, and it used to stick the film very well to plain board. We got rid of ours as we needed to be able to laminte digital prints, which the Morane would not do well. Once board had been through a digital printer, it would not stick the film to the toner areas at...

Sorry, probably not going to help you much again!!! I would say that the DC5252 (or 6060) is the more reliable and consistent machine, but the DC250 has many user replaceable parts. When a drum goes bad on the DC250 we just put a new one in and we're back running in minutes, but the 5252...

We currently run a DC5252 (same family as DC2060 and DC6060) and a DC250. I can honestly say I could not cope without either of them. The DC5252 is just a solid workhorse, which plods away to get the job done. The DC250 is not as production orientated as the DC5252 (ie, cannot duplex coated...

Funny that. Our DC250 died after a fuser jam this week. Tripped our electrics and would not come back on. We needed to have a new power supply unit fitted which had to come from Holland (we're in the UK). Our tech suspects it was one of the fuser heat rods shorting out, so we fitted a new...

Many thanks. Good to hear there may be fuser modifications as I have had many problems recently with the fuser cleaning web on my 5252 getting wrapped up in the fuser roller.

Many thanks

I've often wondered what the difference is between the 2045/2060 and 5252 apart from a little speed of course. Moving this on a bit (sorry for hijacking the thread), I currently have a 5252 which may soon be changed to a 6060. Does the 6060 have any major improvements over my current 5252?

Seconded on the good luck. At that sort of budget you will struggle to get anything more than an office machine, which will not really be any better than you already have. Best entry level machine I would recommend would be a reconditioned Xerox DC240/250/242/252, but I think you may struggle...

We calibrate our DC250 every morning. That usually is enough for us. If we have a very fussy job we may calibrate again before running it, but generally once a day is fine as far as we are concerned.

Agreed, we do work for many print brokers, and it's always part of the agreement that we do not have any contact with the end client, and what's more we wouldn't want to have. Why get more people involved than is needed? So long as you are prepared to take responsibility for signing it off and...

I think most printers will be under service contracts which will cover all toner costs for exactly that reason. As printers we do not want to be worrying about adjusting prices based on coverage. I have been offered a reduced click charge if I buy my own toner, but no thank you. I'll stick to...

When I said every few months, in reality it is probably 5-6 months (time flies when you are busy!). Also, it is not all the developers. I don't think the yellow or cyan have been replaced in my dc250 whilst I have had it, but I know the magenta and black have been donw twice in the last couple...

Our 250 does about 40,000 to 50,000 a month. We find that the dev tends to get contamination in it more than actually going bad. Probably because our workshop is more of a workshop than an office type environment so there are always bits floating about! :eek:

So you are saying the DC250 does not have to have developer changed????? Mine does. And what is this DC 250 Magenta Developer Mix - 675K17990

This is not true, as we have a DC250 which has the developer changed by our service tech every few months. Sorry OP, can't help you on your question however as I am unsure of the clicks between changes. Ours usually ends up being changed before the end of it's life anyway.
