Suggest a good printer

[rubyf]

Fuji Xerox DocuColor seems good. What do you think? https://www.fujixerox.com.hk/zh_hk/...on-color-systems/fuji-xerox-docucolor-1450-ga

Since your being vague, I'll be a bit ridiculous. If you want good quality, you can't go with anything less than a color press 1000i, but you should probably get an iGen.

Basically, you need to provide way more details about what you need.

I can print pretty good. My specialty is cursive hand-writing, though

and if the eggheads running our school systems have their way you will be one of the few left that can do cursive . . . .

I think it's really cool, if I could read Cantonese/Chinese. But in all seriousness, we do need to know what applications you need it for to give you a real answer. Are you printing pie charts on 90gsm paper or are you printing magazines for a museum?

Sorry, my bad.

I'm not familiar with printers actually. Is this brand a good one?

Generally, yes, Xerox makes a good machine. That's what I use here at my shop just not that particular model. In fact, it looks a little slow at only 14 impressions per minute. Which would suggest it may not be robust enough for a print-for-pay environment. Assuming you are just starting out and don't have a lot of money, it should be able to get you started. Canon, Konica Minolta, and Ricoh make some good machines as well so you should consider them as well if they are available in your area (Hong Kong I'm guessing?). The most important thing you could do is go try it out. Either visit a dealer's showroom or find someone that has one that would let you play with it. Second most important thing is to make sure the dealer you buy it from has good service and support. And of course, make sure the specifications are at a level you need for the products you want to produce.

I thought it's more suitable for the design and arts market.

I'm just using it at home for normal print jobs. Is it too much to use that printer?

What model are you using? Thanks.

C75. Not sure if it's available in you market but it would be overkill for a home printer. As for the Docucolor 1450 you are asking about, I am not familiar with it and I don't know what you mean by 'normal print jobs'.

You mean use as a home printer? Then the Fuji Xerox DocuColor would be a waste. You should probably look for the simpler ones.

I see. Thanks everyone
