    Imagepress 8000 on its way!!!

    Alright everyone...here is the feedback all have been waiting for. The Imagepress has amazed me so far. We are going on week 4, hit 115,000 so far. This is all 12x18/13x19. One service call due to small tiny piece came lose and unscrewed. I am assuming came loose during transport. Machine never...

    Imagepress 8000 on its way!!!

    So we had the color guy here today. Setup Colorlynx, but not totally sold on the final results. Color seems a little washed out. The blacks are less, and the shadows not so defined. Again, color is all based on preference, so take that how you like. I do think overall the standard setup was a...

    Imagepress 8000 on its way!!!

    This machine is amazing so far. It burns through card stock like a press. Did a post card job, 12 versions 3500 sheets 13 x 19 2 sided, 2 hours complete. Loaded all trays, all perfect from tray to tray. Color is holding ok from 1st to last sheet. There is some small magenta/cyan shift but...

    Imagepress 8000 on its way!!!

    Update.... Delivery of Imagepress 8000 went as smooth as can be. On time, clean install. All items worked, not one issue with startup. So far all is great. Ran test sheets of the hardest jobs that the Konica 8000 could not touch. Color so far seems amazing, smooth greys, bright colors, and can...

    Imagepress 8000 on its way!!!

    We have been documenting everything. To all service people and VP of service and sales. I went as high up the chain as I could. I got attention but with the C8000 being phased out the only replacement requires Rip and engine so it's costly for them. We did use Konica direct. I can't blame the...

    Imagepress 8000 on its way!!!

    So we are going out on a limb here. We currently run a Konica C8000 and run 85-100k copies a month all 12x18. The Konica is garbage. We are usually down 2-3 days a week with service there for 4hrs per visit. We tried to be better person and ask for upgrade cause they refuse to replace it. We...

    Advice for HP Indigo Purchase

    Thanks for this....not sure on the support going forward. Hopefully someone will answer that for me. As far as service, I am only 45 minutes from headquarters. So a little advantage there. Also, I have been told my local service rep, only lives 5 miles from my location. So a few good things on...

    Advice for HP Indigo Purchase

    I completely understand the additional colors. I am interested in the white, as i know i can use it. The spot colors, not so much. Not that many customers here want spot colors anymore. I definitely think i can get the clicks up there, as i know the work is here. The one thing i hate is that i...

    Advice for HP Indigo Purchase

    That is somewhat true. I am sure there are plenty of people that were in or are in same the position looking for an upgrade. I have been told many times, that these big dollar machines, Indigo, Igen etc....need to run 2 shifts to pay for itself. That is my concern. Big dollar machines like this...

    Advice for HP Indigo Purchase

    Just a few minor things.... When you say 700,000 clicks, is that HP impressions or clicks as in copier clicks. I know there is a huge difference so i want to make sure we are on same page. So in theory that is 175,000 sheets/Clicks of course there are 1 and 2 color jobs in there, just trying to...

    Advice for HP Indigo Purchase

    Looking at an Indigo 5600. Had demo at HP and was blown away by quality of print. Brought my toughest jobs from my Konica C8000 and it was night and day in quality and consistency. Here is the issue. I currently outsource a ton of offset work because of the reliability of the C8000 is...
