We are currently outsourcing our printing and it is time to bring it in-house, we are at the volume level that it just makes sense moving forward for my business. We are currently having everything printed on a 700 (that is about 3.5 yrs old).
I just got my pricing from Xerox on a 700i with bustled fiery. Do they normally break out the RIP on a separate per month charge? It was something like $325/mo just for the bustled RIP which I thought was pretty high when spread over the 60 mo term. Can you outright buy the rip?
Also, does anyone know if there is no finisher unit, just a catch tray - will this affect paper curl or does the stock actually riding through the finisher help to decurl. I will be running 298gsm stocks mostly. Our stuff currently comes out pretty nice and flat, but they have the lite finisher on the 700.
And I have another option I am looking into on Monday someone local is near the end of a 5yr lease on a KM bizhub 6500 (16 mo left). At the end of the lease I could buy the machine for around 6K. Is the technology outdated already? I suspect the machine will have a low total click count, but don't want to have a used hunk of junk either.
Appreciate any help I can get on this decision. In the end we may decide to continue to outsource.
