Canon C9075

We have the smaller one - A1. They brought in the gx300 to see if the registration issue was due to it, but took it away later. It was okay with the A1 for about a month, now it is showing up again.

Hi Everyone - I am a new member. This machine hasnt been released in Australia / New Zealand yet. Am thinking of getting 9075. Would be happy to hear from current users, please.

The imageRUNNER Advance Pro 9065/9075 series is a great light production unit. I have sold a number of them here in Toronto, and to date have had no issues, maybe because of the training and education that is provided with the sale. For example, the 9065 has many image quality and paper registration settings available to the end user, setting it apart from many other competitive devices. While certain uncoated stocks do not print the greatest, for every one that doesn't, I can show you one that looks amazing. In my experience, a lot of times it has to do with the amount of post-consumer recycled content in the paper. There are some really nice recycled stocks out there that are optimized for digital, so if greening your business is important, order a sample pack from your paper supplier and try some out. If seriously looking at the 9065 series, I would recommend the following: 1) I1 Process control. This is a great tool for creating custom icc profiles for your stocks. It is a relatively inexpensive option, but is worth it's weight in gold. 2) Take the time to register your paper stocks in the paper bank. That means grain direction, properties, and make sure to go through the registration process that calculates the amount of shrinkage for the second side of the page. Once a proper drawer alignment is done, and the registration calculation is completed and applied, your issues should be fixed. 3) Hammermill. Make sure you're using a good 28lb hammermill to do your calirations. In fact Hammermill makes a nice uncoated 100lb card stock that runs beautifully on the device. You may want to try a cougar super smooth, or lynx smooth card as well.

Maybe you can provide some insight on the issues I am having. I really want to love this machine, but I'm just not there yet. I've tried the hammermill color copy, and I just don't get them same results as with a coated sheet.

The most successful one i've tried so far is Futura Dull. It does feed consistently in both text weight and cover weight through drawers 3 and 4. It will not feed consistently from any of the pod deck drawers though. I will need it to feed 100# cover at some point, but haven't had the need to yet.

I find this odd since the pod deck is supposed to be air assisted and provides a straighter paper path than drawers three and four. We do have the proper gsm set for the paper and tried adjusting the fan level. Nothing seems to work.

Here is a list of the stock I've tried so far:
Unisource U-Digital velvet cover
Titan Dull cover
Endurance Dull cover
Futura Dull cover
Opus Dull cover

I am willing to use any of these, but none of them will feed through the pod deck. I can get text weight to run, but not cover. Can you make a recommendation on a dull cover stock? Are any of your customers having the same issue?

I don't think I am being unreasonable to ask for a paper to feed consistently that it is specified to run.

Thanks for your feedback.

The 9000 pro series are available in Aus now, have been a couple of weeks. Look very good machines to me.

Have you seen the machine, performance, different media, ..... . Any idea on the price and service rate?

I havent seen your reply to Bluestreak??

Performance is hard to tell at this early stage but they have taken a lot of tech from the imagePRESS which have proven very reliable on all types of media.

Quality looks very good to me.

as an independant dealer rep in the midwest, i have had the 9075 on my demo floor for quite a while. my experince with it has been as follows.

out of the box coated stock looked great-from the 5030 advance to the 9075 pro. regular paper, regular office type, looked horrid. and there were bad color issues with solid blues.

second month it got better with firmware updates and a new transfer belt. i think canon had Ricoh engineers translate the beta machines into production, cause it feel short. once the new belts came inand a second round of firmware came out it really came into its own. i refused to show it to my print shop clients, which is nice that i can do that as an independant dealer.

my most recent print shop client replacing a 242 told me that the colors were on par with the 242 two weeks ago. i had them bring thier most common, and most difficult files to reproduce, so i feel thier comment was legit. it still falls short of a 6501 on 100lb cover in my opion., but canon will work that out as well.

registration from the multi-drawer deck is tricky, but trained techs should be able to fix the issue. now i eventually sold that customer a c6000, cause they wanted the full capabilities of paper stocks, registration, ect. they felt the 9075 would not really be large net gain.

they evaluated a 9075, c6000, 6501, and C900.

Striketen, what would be the Ricoh offerings to compete against the X700 or KM65xx?
