I have been looking at the 7110x. Have you experience any of these problems that others have posted. Here are some extracts.
...disappointing was the clear toner. It was only really visible on thin silk paper, when increasing the stock weight it was even weaker than standard which wasn't good to start with, almost totally invisible on a 350gsm matt we tried, so spot uv effects for business cards are out.
...16 pt Tango C2S and similar stock. When it was first installed we had a lot of jamming and the technician assured us it would just take time to dial in all the settings for the paper library. This seemed to be the case and we were getting less jamming as we tweaked the settings for each paper. However our profile for 14 pt Tango used to work reasonably well, about a week ago however it started jamming non-stop (Jam errors J431 and J471).
...less than impressed with the air feeder on this thing. It seems to be very finicky, what worked last week no longer works today. I've taken to putting everything under 300 gsm into the trays under the engine (friction fed). At least they feed reasonably well without tons of fiddling.
...getting jams with codes J080 and J099. At least 10 to 15 per day.
The 7110 choud be compared to Xerox Versant 2110 / KM 1085. Espacially white dots in prints after 300k prints, and tons of RIP problems. The only real good thing about the 7110 is the registration.
...tons of problems, espiacilly with the fierry rip. And also jams. I removed above 200 jams on 170.000 prints, thats around 850 prinst/jam. (plus the jams are of the worst kind, where you almost can´t remove the paper without tearing it apart. And then you have to remove ths small parts too. The purge tray catch maybe 1/10 jammed papers. Before I bought I got the idea that i would catch 90%)
I use the same paper that I used in my xerox 700, without problems.
On the Ricoh 7110 I have the vacuum paper feeders (x2), that should be the holy grail of paper feeders. But they are just to sensitive, and jam a lot.
... jam very regularly. Mostly on 100lb cover and higher
1: Sometimes the print is perfect, 30 prints later its full of white dots.
2: The first two month it was perfect, always.
3: I can make it a bit better by NOT using "textured" paper mode, but nowhere as good as our old Xerox 700
4: Ricoh says it´s because of airpressure and humidity changes. Which I think is rubbish, because they can´t tell me what the correct pressure/humidity need to be.
I have the same problems as you. But I have one extremely annoying problem. The machins SUCK at textured paper. That should have been one of the main features with the Ricoh 7100 machine with AC transfer and all. But I have those problems when I am running 240g textured paper.
