    Konica Minolta RIP maintenance

    Thanks, we were sold the policy under the insistence that it was compulsory yet we haven't had to use it so we feel it is a miss selling. We're looking for people who bought a Konica Minolta in the UK and didn't have to purchase the RIP maintenance agreement. We're not looking for evidence...

    Konica Minolta RIP maintenance

    Hi all, Just a quick question. Anyone who's bought a Konica Minolta digital printer, have they been told that the monthly RIP maintenance fee is compulsory, or on the contrary have they been sold a machine without the fee in place? Thanks, Andrew

    OKI es3640 / es9410 print issues

    Thanks for your reply. With hindsight I could have bought a machine with a lower RRP such as a Konica Minolta MFC and received higher print quality in all areas mentioned, the fact the suppler sells other manufacturers such as Toshiba, Konica Minolta, etc...should have meant they recommend...

    OKI es3640 / es9410 print issues

    Hi Roman, Thanks for your message. The thread isn't a request for assistance, I've been arguing with the supplier/manufacturer for over a year now and they've thrown in the towel on fixing the issues, but insist I must pay their service contract. I'm trying to obtain a list of other peoples'...

    Hey guys, If you've ever had an es3640 or es9410 and have had quality issues could you briefly outline such issues here please, I want to understand if I'm alone with my frustrations regarding this machine. Thanks, Andy

    "excess usage of toner" on production machines

    This is a common clause, however I insisted it be removed in the contracts I've signed and suppliers have done so. Smaller suppliers are likely to enforce this due to costs involved, however when purchasing from a large supplier if their finances are so bad they want to charge you for toner this...

    Legal case, fitness for purpose

    Hey guys, I'm pursuing a fitness for purpose claim against a printer manufacturer and am looking for UK (England and Wales) similar cases. I'm doing a lot of net trawling but if anyone here has successfully won such a case I would like to hear from them. Basically taking a company to court to...

    c5501 double feeding silk stock

    Hi Emtri, Thanks for your reply. I tried WD40 on the rollers (a general purpose oil/lubricator) but it didn't help. One fix is to physical turn odd sheets over so every other sheet is in effect "upside down", a bit labour intensive and useless on duplex stocks though. I'll ask a tech about the...

    c5501 double feeding silk stock

    Hi guys, I'm having some problems with my c5501, not worth a tech call just wondering if anyone else has experienced double-feeding on 300gsm silk coated card? The card doesn't have a lot of static and slides around quite easily but for some reason the printer double-feeds or refuses to feed...

    Xerox 560 vs KM C6000

    Xerox do have a good rep in US, Ikon rebadge Konicas and their service seems to be universally crap! Thankfully the UK is geographically smaller and we've got 6 KM production specialist technicians within 90mins drive, in fact we've had 4 call outs (machine wasn't actually faulty, just operator...

    Xerox 560 vs KM C6000

    Unlike some people you speak to I'm not a xeroid or a KM-lover, I like to think I'm neutral. I purchased a KM based on build quality and consistency due to the work I do (a lot of heavy card, tight registration essential for duplex). But the KM may not be the machine for you, last time I checked...

    Xerox 560 vs KM C6000

    Hi, To be honest if you outsource your supplier will likely be using the same machine as you plus markup. How about getting a used c5501 or even a c5500 if quality isn't an issue, then buying consumabes? Toner cartridges good for 25k A4 prints are only $50-60 (drums, etc...are of course an...

    Xerox 560 vs KM C6000

    Hi, In my opinion running 25-60k A4 (or Letter) clicks on a c6000 would be serious underuse. I've heard from engineers and users of Xerox and KM kit that underuse causes some quality degridation due to developer and toner settling. Plus the x560/c6000 is an incredibly expensive piece of kit for...

    Silk / gloss media stiffness?

    Hi guys, I'm trying to find a lower cost business card board to ColorCopy. I've found the Essential range from PermierBeswick in the UK (seems to be their own brand), made by Condat, it's cheaper than ColorCopy and is stiffer in the long grain direction (ideal for business cards) but flexible...

    Minolta c6501 - Black Drum Spotting

    Hi, No one seems to have replied to this yet so I'll give my 2p worth... We've tried various medias on the c5501, I noticed a very strong spotting on the demo machine we tried using Core gloss (I think), but we're in the UK...anyway when we got the 5501 installed we used the Condat Essential...
