If you are looking for roll to roll, what finisher are you using? Nearline or offline? At 5m letters/month, you are right smack in between a single and twin-engine. My recommendation is to explore twin since I expect your volume to grow (who doesn't!!!) with you reaching out to more customers...

Hi RZ, which aspects are you looking at? Image quality, speed, configurable layout, weight and power consumption, web width, transport technology, printhead life, ink types and pricing, etc? Then you have also to consider is it going to be single engine or twin (Screen has it, Oce has another...

"but the sales guy told me that will never happen when we signed." Never trust sales rep on anything they promise while you are holding the pen with the tip touching the sales document, unless it is penned down in the same document you are endorsing to procure their equipment. This general rule...

Glad to know you are sourcing for production machines now. I believe the sales associate failed to fully understand your printing needs and requirement prior to your purchase. Otherwise the office series wouldn't have been in the picture in the first place. You are right about Konica C6000...

I have a neighbor that bought a slower speed model aka C5100 (65 cpm vs C5110's 80). Light production that does good job on textured media and the best part is that they use it to print jackets for books, since it can print up to 1200mmx330mm on 225gsm coated.

Wow! If it is true, then this is big news! First clear toner, now choice of white?

Hi. Any specific aspect you are looking at? Banding, color consistency, range of acceptable stock, registration, etc. It will help if you can describe your job's range, current machine(s)' specs, volume, etc. As in all digital presses, each of them has their own S&W. Thus, it will be good to...

The problem you are facing now has been around since the beginning of time, aka economy of scale. With low volume coupled with your requirements on stock card and good registration, you definitely can't have the cake and eat it at the same time. If a 10grand machine can do the jobs you want...

Paper curls due mainly to a sudden lost of moisture within after passing through fusing. The faster and more it loses, the worse it curls. From where I am, which is a country with humidity level hovering between 65%-85%, curling is a common sight. 2 solutions: 1) Fix a low heat heater in the...

Yap. 'Not one job worked after 2 hours'. This is a HUGE statement. I would love to hear about these jobs too.

Machine produced superb prints and subsequently faced problems. Very classic example of the importance of having a very strong and able team of support staff from X, or as a matter of fact, every brand. I have personally seen the X1000 at work; no doubt is one of the best around in its class...

At 12k SRA3 prints per month, ROI for J75, C8000 and especially HC70 is going to take very long. Instead, I will look at other alternatives like KM 6501 or Ricoh Pro C5100. These 2 are value for money.

If this tech is 'replacing everything w/o trying to be stingy', I can bet you my last dollar this nicey tech will be given the boot really soon!

I have an acquaintance using an Indigo 3050 for more than 5 years and it is still running perfectly. Hence, for a normal Xerox, KM or Ricoh digital press, costs amortized over max life span of 5 years, versus Indigo's. That's one of the reasons why Indigo sells. However, downside of Indigo is...

Thanks, Kunnajar, for the insights into J75. I have seen the SIQA in works pertaining to registration. Really good but without consistency. I have an acquaintance using it and after about 300 copies of SRA3, registration starts run. Ricoh, on the other hand, claimed that the C751 was worked on...

Hi there, My shop is in the midst of getting the 700 replaced. Xerox proposing their flagship J75 and after years with the big 'X', I was toying with the idea of changing my vendor. Saw some reviews (+ & -) about Ricoh's C751. With a very attractive price tag (read faster return of ROI), really...

Hi Jerod, May I ask then, what are you using to run your jobs now? Indigo, Ricoh or others? I don't assume the big X gave you the iGen 4 220 with 110's pricing.

Hi there. As far as I understand about J/C 75, these machines can't print banner.

As explained by Msaeger, Ricoh's c751 prints up to 630mm but printable area is max at 620mm.
