    Bourg AE22 feeding problems

    Hey guys. I'm having some issues with the feeding of our AE22: 1. One of my bins will feed correctly but every 10 sheets it will stop feeding. So everything is good till the 10th book and then the machine stops because the bin didn't feed the paper. 2. I have a few bins that I cannot use...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    I haven't planned on going to any expo but that could change if I had more info. Where/when is it? Application: The majority of our stuff is run on 11x17 60lb offset. Sometimes we step up to 80lb cover (with an occasional gloss cover). If bleeds are necessary (maybe 20%) then we have to go...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    I'm pretty sure we've decided to take the route of two 700's and keeping our 250. We are waiting to test the 700 with a couple of different paper stock types and we are working out the accessories for the 700. Reliability of service was huge for us. Also, two 700's should outperform a single...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    I think that I'd like to have lunch with Craig and Random so we could sit around the table and give each other a hard time. Funny stuff. Loving the signature, Random. This is what it is coming down to for us right now (could change). I'm pulling away from the c6500 for a couple of reasons...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    We'll have to provide some coated stock and see what happens. Do you have any details as far as what is lacking? On quality, we did have Ikon run some samples on the 6500 and they looked good....most of it did. Solids and pictures look real good but screens are blotchy (kinda pixelized...)...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    yeah, I understand about the 7000vp competing with the 8000ap. Unfortunately, we don't have the volume or money to justify either machine. Ikon compared the 7000vp to the 5000 and I had to have a stern talk with them about it yesterday because it is misleading. Xerox just offered to give us...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    I've been reading the threads and watching you two go back and forth and it looks pretty fun. I'm going to put up a list of things that we need and list how each machine (2 KM6500 vs 1 Docu5000+Docu250) meet our needs and then we can go from there. Give me time. Oh Yeah, no one has brought...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    I found out about Ricoh buying IKON today. It is a little scary. We don't know alot about Production Color because we've just used the docu250....so I'm not sure who Ricoh is. Give some insight :).

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    Hmmm.....Xerox is offering a 5000 that is labeled a "demo" and the price is pretty good. I didn't know they don't exist...maybe thats why it is a demo. We talked about the 5000AP and like the fact that doesn't slow on the heavier weights but I think the price might be too far off for us.

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    What is the heavier weights that the KM struggles to duplex. It is very important that we can auto duplex 220 gsm. I talked about the Xerox 5000 today and really like it. Plus they said we could keep the 250. Price is close to what Ikon is offering two KM C6500 (Ikon 650) with individual...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    Yeah, the 250 does have the same engine as the 5000. We meet with xerox tomorrow and will discuss our options. The funny things is that Ikon was pushing the canon 7000 against the xerox 5000. It seems like (based of these forums) the 7000 is a full production machine and the xerox 5000 is a...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    The salesman brought us some samples of a file that we provided and the 7000 had somewhat better quality but the colors weren't right. The cpp650 had the colors dead on but the quality wasn't as good (still ok though). Of course, I doubt if they spent alot of time trying to get it...

    Replacing the ol' Docu250

    Well, I'm glad I found this forum and will be reading like a madman over the next couple of weeks. We have a docu250 that is too small for our current production. We have called a few people up and will be meeting with companies for a few days while we discuss the best machine for our needs...
