Hi,...
I want to know about the Konica Minolta new product, Bizhub Press C8000.
How about the price? Is anybody know about the price ? and if i compared the print result with the Xerox 800 or Canon 7000 how about it?
Please let me know.
It's expensive! I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with local KMBS branch to receive their pricing proposal. I was a bit surprised at the cost, and suffice to say, was well out of reach for our shop.
I am now awaiting pricing on the c6000 / 7000, but it has yet to be released. They're making some great deals on the 6501 right now, but we're still torn on whether to wait for newer technology, or take advantage of the savings on older machine now.
Hope this helps.
Im in a similar position...not sure whether to wait for the 8000....
I wonder if KM have any ambitions to upgrade the creo 304+ on the 6501 and maybe improve the screening again? The last upgrade took place nearly 2 years ago it would be a real bargain if they did.....
Saw some work off a Xerox 1000 today - not bad.. the samples were very glossy but good quality ...not as much detail as an Igen but somehow more natural however there was some banding on the tints...
My understanding is that the Creo will not be offered on the C8000 at introduction.
I'm not sure what's up with Creo these days. They've had so many layoffs their channel support in the US is really hurting.
Yes, that was my understanding as well, I was told at launch that only the Fiery and Konica's own RIP will be available.
I got a chance to take a long look at the machine in Ramsey a few weeks ago, I was impressed, to say the least. Seems like a real winner at the price point.
KM's own RIP? I almost fell over laughing when I heard that last week. The Emperon controller can't be called a RIP by any stretch of the imagination. Not sure what they are connecting to the 8000 though.
I've heard some interesting rumors regarding page coverage, but it seems KM has been tight-lipped regarding consumable info or billing structure
I heard such numbers for basic configurations, including RIP, ColorCare, etc. etc.
c8000 - from euro 75 000 +
c6000 - from euro 28 000 +
