Let's see. I would say the biggest advantage for us is the fact they will essentially bleed off 3 sides of the sheet now. That is the one thing that immediately stands out since it makes my life easier on a daily basis.So what advantages have you seen on the 7500 vs the 7200?
The ix1700 came out but is to rich for my blood So much for inkjets dropping in price.
Japan and Fiery are working on some updated patches that should be released soon (hopefully).I have found a workaround for the VD issue. If you "process and hold" the job then print it doesn't seem to crash. I suspect there is some type of communication issue. I also notice the blue status light will frequently stay on solid instead of flashing for no rhyme or reason.
When our service guys installed it they seemed just as surprised about the bleed ability. We regularly run 12.5" x 19" stocks and just barely have enough room for cut marks. Our cutter was ecstatic to see this one giving her cut marks on every job.Interesting about the PTR no longer being used, does the belt assembly have to be changed as well due to lines from different size stocks?
If you get a chance to do a video about the bleed I would be interested in seeing that, I have not seen that mentioned before.

The marks from different size paper are usually on the fuser roller, but yes you have to replace this belt, but it seems much more resistant to damage than the old roller. This is just like a smaller version of the belt that transfers the toner. They went to a fair amount of trouble moving the drive assembly for it to the operator's side. I am optimistic. Still runs envelopes just like the old version with the refolding of the flap. Registration is every bit as good and it seems to run envelopes faster through the bypass tray. I have been told it also is faster with mixed media, but haven't tested it out yet.
Yes it is.Is the belt part of the TCRU program, is it something you can change?
I ran a letterhead the other day and it had a solid that bled on 3 sides. No issues with that. Only the lead edge has a margin.I had to reread that, so just cut marks are bleeding off the page. I was wondering how a full image bleeding off the edge would do, I would think it would fill up your waste toner bottle really quickly and not sure how all that excess toner flying around would be handled.
I got a call today saying they have a firmware update for the printer, NOT the Fiery, which is supposed to fix the error. They are supposed to come up and install it tomorrow. I will let everyone know how that goes.Thanks for the heads up, I might be better off waiting for an affordable cutsheet inkjet to come out. I am happy with my 7200 currently.
