    moved on from refurbs; Ricoh C5300 or KM C4065 repayments, cpc similar

    Just to clarify the fine print, KM year 6 CPC tripled. Ricoh not in writing so not really bankable. Need more clicks to justify new machine repayments. And refurbs, because CPC only 36mths, & sometimes higher CPC, need to cost 1/2 or less (compared to new). Either raise prices, increase...

    Any experience Ricoh C5300s or C5210 ... Canon V900 ... KM C3070

    These machines are all in budget, service is equally good, CPC & terms identical. Very few posts on Canon V700,800,900 anywhere. We print 20000 s/s paper 900mm banners a month, they can all do this. We print 5000 SRA3 coated d/s up to 300gsm per month. They can all do this. We print massive...

    moved on from refurbs; Ricoh C5300 or KM C4065 repayments, cpc similar

    Thanks TJ, Yes, I am better understanding the multiple layers to figuring what works best under the circumstances. For me, now that Ricoh are talking potential of 6 year cpc & km 7 (both subject to reasonable t&c), the repayments are much the same as a cheaper refurb (repayments over only 36-48...

    moved on from refurbs; Ricoh C5300 or KM C4065 repayments, cpc similar

    IN just 24hours, armed with better offers, Ive sorta moved on from the whole refurb debate to pretty simple choice; Ricoh C5300s or KM C4065? We print 20k cmyk 900mm banners on bond & 5k gloss SR A3 though are soon moving to a minor retail area & plan to gradually grow local work. We also...

    what is a PostScript 3 Unit Type M42 to a Ricoh C5300s?

    We print (& often reprint) single files, (mostly single sided) pretty sure imposition is diy within indesign (templates). Almost exclusively pdfs. Our prepress/production bloke is technically savvy. The only adjustments I know we currently make in the fiery app are to quantities, moving the...

    small shop, refurb or will a new C5300s be adequate?

    With our 'head office' rented 9 year old C1060 workhorse, which we like & is adequate, we're printing about 22k s/s cmyk 90gsm bond banner prints (325x910) & 5k SRA3 on 150 &/or 300gsm coated per month. But after 5 good years thats about to wrap up. EOL we're told. I prefer to purchase outright...

    KM C4065 & C3080 lots s/s paper banner prints

    Thankyou all for your helpful advice. I will see what km & dealers suggest/can offer. Probably the vital issue for me is keeping to <2clicks on 900mm (35.5"), and containing any potential increase. Or 1.5 clicks for everything colour. I think a PF812 is financially unrealistic unless there's...

    thanks kslight I will look deeper into the Ricoh option. Ouch, on that basis we'd have provide our clients 1.5" shorter banners or be hit x4 clicks!

    KM C4065 & C3080 lots s/s paper banner prints

    In March the service agreement on our old but trusty C1060 concludes, (I believe they can't wait). Looking to purchase a C3080 or C4065, or if affordable C4070... even a C6085. (Ricoh 7200 dark horse). Refurb preferred. We predominantly print 80gsm banners; 900x320mm s/s cmyk, 15-20k pm. Plus...

    konica minolta 6501 vs 6000 vs xerox 700

    Yesterday we said goodbye to our old faithful 6500 and today have had installed a used c6000 (with service agreement as per new machine). We do about 20k sra3 pm. The ability to print 'banners' (ie 1200mm long) clinched the deal as this brings work back inhouse that weve been jobbing out. Click...

    what machine to buy? xerox or km?!

    There have not been any major improvements imo in the midrange ie 20-50k click pm machines in a year or two. I read on this forum & agree - service is critical. Anyway we are close to closing on a used machine to replace our aging km6500. THe replacement has better (but not great) duplex rego...
