Xerox Colour 1000

[printer in heart]

Hello, I'm new here. Does anyone have any information on the newest xerox colour digital press 1000. It looks similar to Igen but it's not the same. I want to upgrade my present 6060 printer and debating what is better Xerox 1000, Xerox 700 or 8000AP or Canon 7000VP. If anyone has any information, please post it here. I always used Xerox in the past, How is Canon service these days? thanks

Hi Printer in Heart.

The C1000P is a very capable machine. I guess it would be based on your volume and the type of work you will be producing.
Make sure you get it from Xerox Direct and not a local dealer.

Hope this Helps....

Hey, I get my 1000 tomorrow hopefully up and running in a day or 2. I can tell you the quality is better than the 8000AP (as I have one) the cannon I don't know too much about. I found that we would constantly have oil marks/streaks especially running on coated stocks on the 8000AP, the 1000 doesn't use oil so this problem will be eliminated. Also, the duty cycle is only around 24,000 on the 8000AP and you really notice this when running all day every day, we constantly have engineers in sorting out various issues/problems.
I have seen some impressive material run on the 1000 using the clear toner which for me makes it stand out from the rest.

Wondering how the install is going... Have two 5000's and a 700 - looking to upgrade if it's worth it.

Hello, Did you get yuor 1000, Do you like it, did you find any problems? Do you charge extra for clear toner and do customers want to pay for clear toner. Thanks

Well.... I have my 1000.... unfortunately it is still in it's wrapper.. Xerox told me it will be in on the 18th, what they didn't tell was that an engineer won't be in for a couple of days to install it...
On the Clear toner side, we will be charging for the this as an extra.

Engineer turned up and it is all unwrapped. I now know why it is called the "1000" .. It's because thats how many different pieces there are to put together... it's starting to look like a printer. on day 2.

Well, the machine is all together now… and has a pretty green light on the top of it.
The machine does look quite impressive I must say and the RIP is very fast. 9 processors, adobe will use six of them at the same time, dual something or other, got bored at this point……. Just let me print something ….. anything…..
day 5
