Thinking of buying the Xerox 700

[ShortRunMagazines]

I run the Free Flow on the X700 now. It's not fun to set up, especially if you are used to either the Creo or Fiery flow. However, once set-up, it is quite nice. The best thing is, when you have a job that mixes Mono and Color clicks, you can just specify the pages that need to print Mono and it will click properly, where the Creo/Fiery would have to split the job up into two and collate back together.

Also, I feel the photo's look better on the Free Flow then the Fiery (we had both to start with while we were demo'ing the Free Flow).

Just my .02

we have a GA customer that owns both xerox 700 and Km 6500.

he is totally satisfied with xerox and of course Creo RIP. when jobs coverage exceeds more than 70%, they shift to xerox 700 because of the quality and speed.

but there is one issue: xerox 700 Fuser module is weak to some extent.

I'm also thinking of buying a 700 to expand the service on offer to clients. I run a Bureau and would like to offer digital printing to current clients. What is the monthly throughput like? I would probably start on 10-20,000 pages a month and plan to increase to 50-100,000.

Hi Dear,

we have a GA customer owning both KM LD6500 and xerox 700.

form what he told us, most of the higher gsm jobs are being printed by xerox.

xerox external Fiery can speed up and expedite all the ques. in my opinion it is better to refer a sole agency of xerox to receive any comprehensive information about different types of Fieries.

xerox 700 output is Offset like, because of the toner technology it uses, i mean EAHG but 5000 output is oily. anyway in your marketing universe there are different people with different tastes.

then, you can sign FSMA contract with xerox to be free about service, consumables and parts issues.

Hi! John,

This is Narendra from India, as per my experience Xerox 700 is good machine for mid range production (b/w 50k - 70k volumes per month).

700 comes with matt finish and has got good back to back registration, but when compared to 5000 the productivity speed is less. Overall for mid range produvtion this is a very good choice, where people get their ROI worth investing on this.

Regards,
Naren

Hi guys

Thanks for your replies.

Im going with the Xerox 5000AP - at least thats what I thougt. Then KM told me that a brand new KM C8000 is coming up - quality close to offset...! (Have to see it before I believe it) and with the ability to auto 300g paper and run up to 350g paper. Im going to the IPEX in may in England and have a look at it.

Any thoughts on the C8000?

I think the Xerox 700 will give you room for growth from 10k to 70k. If you reach 100k, maybe you may need to add a second unit. The question is when do you expect 100k. In a few months, 1 year or 5 years? If it's short term, you may want to look at something "bigger". If it's mid/long term, you can start with the Xerox 700.

Prices from 350k $ - its a bit out of my price range and quite a bit more expensive than the 5000AP and the C8000

Yeah well, wait for the c8000, a better product at more than likely half the price.
