Canon IR 7105 or 7110vp

[PineyBob]

We have 2 IR105's (bacsically same machine as the 7105) and if you are running just regular 24/60 text stock you could probably push the 7105's 450K a month. We did it on the 105's and had service out about 4-5 times a month

We have a 7150vp which is a completely different animal. It is a Heldelberg engine and it is a iron beast! We only run 600-700k a month, but we run heavy, glossy preprinted, perfed, scored, and thick card stocks through it and it just plows right through the jobs. Granted, we do a bit more maintenance with what we run, but we punish this machine. If you are doing light text stock, you could run that thing forever. It probably won't blink at 900K a month.

The price tag for the 7110vp-7150vp is pretty hefty, also. But it's a machine that you'll have for years.

Food for thought.

Just a few comments on the iR150.

It is NOT a Heidelberg designed or manufactured machine. The original print engine is based on the Kodak 1392 LED Printer that has been upgraded by NexPress which at one time was Heidelberg Digital which was a joint venture between Kodax and Heidelberg Digital and was sold back to Kodak.

There is still Lionheart code lingering in the unit.

The max rated monthyl volume of the 150 is IIRC 5.5 Million at 700k it's not ever breaking a sweat.

These are true production machines designed to last. It's not the Mickey Mouse "Fast Plastic" that one sees from the Asian manufacturers.

If you can support the debt service and generate a profit this machine is a winner. I'd love to see a Total Cost of Ownership spreadsheet on this unit as if you have the volume my suspicion is it's a whole lot cheaper then it appears.​

In order to make real money you have to spend real money. The iR150 is not for the price of everything value of nothing crowd.
