I just had a 1060 installed and so far I'm really impressed. It's not auto duplexing quite as good as I know it can but I haven't really got into making adjustments yet but the print quality is top notch. In fact I'm shocked at how perfectly it just did a set of business cards on 350gsm uncoated...

I'm positive that Xerox have improved the toners over 250 era machines and you can get laminate with extra aggressive adhesive. I'm just about to take delivery of the Konica, I'd be shocked if the Xerox is better although I don't think I've seen the 560 so can't really comment. Given that the...

Are your paper options in the print software actually things like 'thick1'? I send from Fiery Command Work Station and the paper options I have correspond exactly with what I have available on my C5501. It took me a bit of getting the hang of after being a Xerox user. Whilst this might not be of...

If Xerox are still using basically the same toner as I saw in the 700 a couple of years ago then the Konica will beat it hands down, it's also a far more robust machine. When I was buying my last printer I was upgrading from a Xerox DC240, the 700's prints looked almost identical (like a glossy...

Xerox to Konica/Balreed Xerox to Konica/Balreed I did exactly the same and Balreed have been excellent and my Konica has helped my business no end, my 5501 is amazing for it's price range. I've not heard much said about the 8000 yet, apparently the models below it are performing really well...

It's a great machine, I have one. We have out board finishing equipment so I got the most minimal configuration available. I only use the bundled Fiery RIP and Imposition and get on fine. I think the problem with built in finishing equipment can be that you waste clicks on booklets as you wont...

I had to upgrade to software version 1.2 to get my 240 to print from InDesign properly if I remember correctly.

I've heard that about to 700, I'm glad I got a Konica instead. Generally, accepting it's limits, I have been happy with my 240 and a Xerox engineer who I'd dealt with says he sees a couple in the field that are way over 3 million clicks and still working. It's just not feasible to keep them in...

I have a 240 and I would advise totally against getting a Xerox at all. Their click charges get way too high compared with someone like Konica and when you're out of maintenance contract they expect you to commit to £1000 for a repair even when they don't know what's wrong.

I went from a Xerox DC240 to a Konica C5501. The speed between both the machines and their faster siblings (250/6501) isn't much when printing on thicker stocks and SRA3 which I mainly use. The KM C5501 is a far far more sellable print than the Xerox, on the right stock it looks really similar...

I'm pretty sure that System 7 is just the name for a certain configuration of the printer, it's basically the 6501. I was lucky enough to deal with a sales guy who basically told me I should spend less and get a cheaper configuration based on his knowledge of what I do. I've started off with the...

I do not agree with you about telling it apart form litho so easily at all. I've had a frend of mine who owns a really good B1 heidelberg press and he was shocked at how well my Konica could print at at what the finish was like. I'm not saying it would have fooled either of us but then we are...

I can't believe you think the quality is better on the x700, I ran my own files on my own stocks through both and the Xerox could do some really eye catching glossy prints and the very small fine text was superior to the KM but that was it. It's still got the heavy toner finish that a lot of...

Have you installed all the relevant updates to the system on the printer? I know there are several, not all of which will be needed. I used to have problems (mainly just page orientation though) when printing from inDesign on the software version 1.1 in the printer but these were cleared up by...

My DC240 does the same thing, maybe you could try a different screening but I don't think it will help. Also try turning off edge enhancement for text and graphic and see if that helps, again I don't think it will but it's worth a try. The steps in gradients as far as I can tell are more of an...

There's almost no need to work in anything other than rgb if using Adobe programs, just set up the 'Print Preview' function and and you can work in rgb (faster in Photoshop as using 3 channels and and not 4 and all the filters work). The only time I ever work in CMYK in Photoshop is if I need to...

Click charge, duplexing, finish, fine text, RIP? Click charge, duplexing, finish, fine text, RIP? I read here somewhere that someone says the KM is slightly more expensive then the Xerox, in the UK this is not the case, I have the best click charge offer by far on the KM, followed very closely...

I tested the Xerox 700 today, I'd sat that the coverage for large solids on the Xerox isn't even in the same ballpark as the Océ C665 (same as the KM6501) that I tested. It may well be ok on digital specific stocks but I used my own paper for both and it's decent litho paper that I get great...

The KM6501/Océ C665 is awesome, a real litho like finish. I've not had much joy enquiring about the canon here, I think they are way off the price of the Océ or KM and they wouldn't get down to the same click charge as the others, that's in the UK anyway. In fact the local canon place didn't...

I'm off Océ now really as I think the finisher quote sucks. The company selling the KM have some excellent policies in place and use their level of service as one of their main selling points. They have also offered to put in a unit for me to demo for 2 weeks and told me that what I need is...
