Hello, I'm about to start a small design office and I want to have the ability to do all the small scale production inhouse, aside from the other hardware that more or less I know what I need, I have no idea about the printer.
Where I work now we have an aged KM 450p and a KM c5500 and the guy who sell/repair them told me to get a KM C224 which, as I have seen in person have more than acceptable quality for printing brochures, business cards and other material that demand good quality, and I believe it's low monthly capacity is OK for the work I believe I will print in house (for higher volumes it appears to be better to send them for offset printing).
Now the problem is that while I trust this guy, I have no idea what the competition can offer. I attended an exhibition last year but the staff in the other manufacturer's kiosks have little to no idea on the per page cost, they where more like "hey look at this print, nice colors eh?", which can't help me at all.
So the question is:
Is there anything better and/or more affordable than the KM C224, in terms of buy and use?
That thing is giving a 1200X1200 resolution which I can't see anything in it's price range to be able to match that.
What I need to do? Low volume color printing with emphasis in quality, I don't need photographic quality, but I need good quality.
(As for the service part the city I plan to open is close to the third major city in Greece and most of the manufacturers have service department's there)
Sorry if I sound confused, I am confused.
