Are there any shops just responsible for or doing their own service on the C7000 machines?
We presently have a C6500 that is closing in on the end of 5 year contract. We are paying .06 per copy color (yes, that's 8.5x11) and we need to get a better rate so we can compete with those shops who are getting .045 any size. Dealer doesn't want to continue a relationship with us on production machines because he says he's losing money on the 6500. So, that means if we get a C7000, it's ours. Our volume is averaging about 250,000 color copies per year but this volume will definitely increase dramatically considering we can get the cost down near the .045 copy range. We can get a repo C7000 with under 100,000 copies on it. Would being responsible for our own service be a viable option faced with this scenario or should we just look at a Canon Image Press? Thoughts?
