Hi All,
I am a newbie in here, our print shop about to put another investment for print engine.
I have to choose between new DC5000AP with DocuSP (I really hope it comes with Adobe PrintEngine similar to Nexpress front end because it's the best RIP I've ever seen) or 2nd Hand HP 3050 (price nearly twice of new DC5000AP).
HP 3050
Quality similar to offset with aqueus ink (DC5000AP similar with offset UV ink), more colour gamut, great for photos, less banding/streaking, can do pantone, we can get new Agency customers because at the moment we are using DC5065 which is great for Document works but shitty on Graphic Arts works.
the downside I have to maintain the press by cleaning it every week which i don't want to do.
DC5000AP
Quality is acceptable, shinny result (which I personally like because its like offset quality with UV ink)
Downside: doesn't stick with lamination film, I would find too many service call with xerox, re-sell value is not good because it's a big plastic box.
At the moment 90% of my customers are office peoples, Our print shop need more sales by grabbing agencies with offices near our shop. They don't want to print with us because we don't use indigo.
I want to know what do you guys think?
Craig what do you think? because you seems a happy Xerox Customers Do you get much works from Big agencies with 8000AP?
