Canon Varioprint 115-140

[tinnyjay]

Hello,
This is my first post here in the forum.
I have 15 years of experience with digital printing and mostly in Canon printers (last 12 years), and the fastest printer we ever had is 105ppm.
We want to invest in a fastest technology and wanted to know more about Varioprint 115-140. The cost per page, parts yield, the cons and the benefits.
The papers we can use (we work on all kind of papers) and any other help about, is appreciated.
Thank you So much,
Altin

What sort of click cost are you guys getting with these machines? Are they "up to 8.5 x 14" as one rate and everything above is another? I'm assuming the click cost mitigation game for b&w doesn't exist and everything is just ran as 8.5 x 11"?

We need to print 12x19

Has anyone heard of issue with the Canon Quartz 115-140 have issues with scuffing/marks post printing in folders and booklet makers/ etc any offline procedures with rollers marking the prints? I heard that with the lower heat needed for this machine that can be a issue? Thanks for any info.

I've run a fair amount of Oce/Canon equipment. They are super reliable, and fairly low maintenance. They also rarely jam, and if they do they're very easy to clear jams.

They use a technology called directpress, so it's basically opening the pores of the paper and pressing the toner in. It gives a very offset looking print, but it doesn't fuse, so it's very easy to scuff. If you use friction fed offline equipment you'll get marks, and heavy coverage can mark easily.

We used to have the big boy 6320, but unfortunately they end-of-lifed it, and we didn't really have the volume to replace it. Now I'm running 2 Xerox machines that I mostly hate.

I had an oce model (dont know number anymore) that scuffed easily - hated it. was a nice match to our offset in grey tone and shine.
