    KONICA MINOLTA C4070 PRICE

    What are being quoted for Service and supplies for the 4080? I am being quoted $.007 for black and white and $.045 for color. That is service and supplies and a single click for all copies.

    Small shop here...

    When you can send the banners to someone Like B2signs.com for $0.89 per square foot, including hems and grommets, How can you do them in house cheaper? The cost of the supplies and ink, for heavy coverage is more than that on an older machine.

    You can get 5,000 6.5 x 11 EDDM cards printed 4/4 on 14 Pt C2S, with Gloss UV for around $275.00 from a Trade only printer. That is 5.5 cents per card. I think this puts the question of Digital versus offset to bed for this topic. The answer is Job out to a trade printer. That is the ONLY...

    Digital printer capabilities

    Re: Digital printer capabilities I had a few follow up questions to your (Craig's) post. #1. Are there any Clicks included in the $18,000 MMC, or does an IGEN3 cost $28,000 per month to sit there? #2. Your estimate of 1782 hours is assuming 100% uptime production. I was wondering what a true...

    Re: HP Indigo 5500 You have been talking with a salesman who only makes money when he sells a new machine! try telling a Xerox sales person you want info on service only, because you want to buy a used Xerox from somebody else. You will get nothing but the run around about why you should buy...

    Xerox 700 or Docucolour 5000

    Re: Xerox 700 or Docucolour 5000 concerning the 5000. The copies should be perfect. There is less than .5mm bounce on 2 sided copies. Are you dealing with an independent rep or Xerox direct. For $100,000, they should be putting on the "Dog and Pony show" for you. You need to see a detailed...

    Digital B&W Presses

    Re: Digital B&W Presses We have the Xerox 4127, and absolutely LOVE it. You can't beat Xerox Service, at least in our neck of he woods. We are in the middle of a 600.000 11.5 x 17.5 copy job and have been running the machine for 3 shifts the last few days. It hasn't missed a beat! Bert

    Xerox 700 or Docucolour 5000

    Re: Xerox 700 or Docucolour 5000 The 5000 is more akin to your 6060 and the 700 is a sped up 240. Which machine do you think will pump out more work? The battlefield tank (the 5000) or the lightly armored Hummer (the 700). If I were facing an all nighter trying to get out 20,000+ copies I...

    konica 6500 -xerox 5000

    Re: konica 6500 -xerox 5000 If you are running 30,000 copies a month, I would highly recommend the Xerox5000. The numbers you are being quoted seem very high. For 30,000 copies you should be paying a service base price of $1990.00 which is .066/copy and the overage should be at .049/copy. I...

    Background Issues on the Xerox 5000

    Re: Background Issues on the Xerox 5000 When I first read this post I said to myself, "no way!" We have had a 5000 for several months and have run several hundred thousand copies on it and never noticed a problem. So, I grabbed a sheet and took a look, no background. Then I grabbed a Loup...

    Re: konica 6500 -xerox 5000 I have been in the color copy business since the days of the original canon CLC 1. We have a KM C500, and it is a piece of junk. We looked at the KM 6500 and the Xerox 5000. The Xerox is about twice the price of the KM 6500. When we looked at the quality...

    Is a Ryobi 3302 (Itek 3985) capable of the odd bit of Process work?

    Re: Is a Ryobi 3302 (Itek 3985) capable of the odd bit of Process work? I am smiling as I reminisce back to when we were in the market for a 3302. We all wanted to know "will it run process color?" We saw many a demo at the old Gutenberg shows, where the 3302 ran process color. The bottom...
