I have a Canon C9075 Pro and do VDP direct mail jobs with it. The average job is a total run of 21,000 sheets (3 pages, 7,000 duplexed) 4/4, but mostly spot color and no photos. I usually run 2 a week, meaning 160K clicks a month and the machine is running 8 hours a day 5 days a week to crank out this volume.
It's starting to go down frequently (not to mention the huge expense of toner) and it's also too slow to keep up with the mail inserter. I'm wondering if my best investment would be:
1) Another C9075, run 2 at once
2) A different toner based machine altogether, something higher end in the production category.
3) An inkjet based machine such as a Riso.
I got a pretty good deal on the C9075 and can get another one for less than 10K, but would like some opinions on what you would choose. I do direct mail, only for myself -- no retail or outside jobs. I haven't looked at inkjet in 3 years and have no idea how the technology has progressed.
