looking for a new color copier (digital press)

[Ahmed Ismail]

Rob,

Do yourself a favor and call Bill Killgore at 231-938-9591 and feel free to use my name. He can guide you on the Xerox in either a purcashe or a lease scenario.

He is the most honest copier rep I have ever met.

Take a look at the MGI Press.

www.mgi-usa.com

This is a unique product.

Frank that looks pretty cool. Any more info on cost to use? I would love to do a online table of costs per sheet for a new press.
Like TRUE COST of DI waterless copier to toner to inkjet, and to a real printing press vs. the dirty digitals.

thank for the details. good info.

if your looking at a new di. consider a used 4 color conventional.
we had a qmdi it was great. could print plastics and vinyls, but the speed and quality on some offset papers was not so great. we traded up to a heidelberg sm52-4h it is more work to run vinyl and plastic, but the speed on papers is wonderful. try keeping a di running at 10- 12iph. we have run ncr @ 10,000iph

Look at the Xerox 5000,it has been great for us also how is your Xitron rip treating you, we put on ein 2 weeks ago and it is not working.

[dipressforum]

How does the Xerox 5000 compare with the Xerox 7000? Does the 5000 have streaking problems like the earlier docucolors.

Thanks

Depending on the application and speed, check out the Canon ImagepressC 1 or the Canon C7000. They both have relvolutionary technolgy and was Canon's largest R& D investment in the history of the company. A huge amount of placements in the Chicago area.

the canon c1 and 7000 seem to pricey for smaller operations. the few cards I get in the mail from c7000's in chicago don't seem to impress me. variable data is nice but if the card does not look great whats the point. we decided on an ikon cpp500. It has been wonderfull. In 3 months the service guys have never been here. we have had some jam ups on 20 # running ltr (R) to staple as a book. 28/70# fixed this. this has happened on other copiers could be the paper or the weather.

I'll take a shot at getting in touch with you, rbaillue, how's the cpp500 1+ years down the road? I am going to look at one next week. thanks.
