Re: Need Duplicator drum asap
The color units for the 1030, 1230 & 1235 should be the same, as they all take the same ink. Therefore ahould still be available.

Re: Need Duplicator drum asap
The drums are not different! Order the color drum and just put black ink in it! Once the new drum is installed it may enable the color drum light to go on. Not a big deal. There is color in the drum, thats what I tell the customer if they ask. We had to do this with some of the older dups also. Art

Re: Canon & Ikon

Falling back on "Policy" - Canon expressed that this action falls within their policy on not certifying "competitors". Indeed, this action is in line with their previous movements after Xerox bought Global dealers who sold and supported Canon. ...

Re: Printer for dirty environment
They all use the same technology, heat, cool, toner, developer, drum etc..... Maybe the the solution is an ink printer, at this point in time, I can't recommend any of the gelsprinters. But there has go to be a low cost ink printer out there. Maybe look for a printer where the user can change the fuser, instead of waiting for service. Anyone else have any ideas?

Re: Duplicator and sorting ideas
The presses might very well be attached to online sorter towers that have up to 300 bins per tower. I have seen up to 3 towers attached together. We used to have the same (although only 200 bins) for the duplicators, called CopySorters (for Gestetner brand). They didn't work very well, do to the fact that they would deliver the prints face down into the bins, causing all kinds of smudging issues, because the ink didn't have time to dry.

If it's the Master Eject box, that you use to sweep out all the old masters into a trash can, then the part # for the whole box unit is C2393401. If it's the Master Eject roller assembly, that takes the masters off the ink unit and feeds them into the eject box, then the part # for this assembly is C2393400. Hope this helps. I can post the pages from the parts manual if you need to make sure. Just let me know. Cheers.

Re: HP 815 MFP
Your post brings this system to lite, I do not know much about the product, except it is an inkjet system with a wide format scanner attached. My first thoughts is that the ink is usually around .10 cents a square foot. Best quality is on ink jet wide format paper, plus the print speed for copies is probably very slow. Will keep looking for more infor. Please post any additional information here as you can.

BigMac, I think you are in good shape here. The Ricoh has the following advantages. Copy mode is a 6-1 speed difference and higher copy quality on the Ricoh. Scanning will be much better on the Ricoh. How do I know, because I have tested it against the HP. One roll feed and only a 150' roll at that. Do they really want to change paper that often? What about different sizes? The only advantage I see for HP is up to 42" wide size and color output/scanning. Only if the customer has a...

Re: New Duplicators from Ricoh
Not that I know of yet. Was it part of the Seri configuration? I knew they were developing that, but thought it was going to be a Seri hybrid - that is using a resin ink. Also, how many heads did it have? My information says that they might have up to 6 heads when all said and done. They are supposed to be replacing the 8500 with a unit that has the HQ master technology, with much greater functionality at the control panel. Any new news of that?

Hey Art, I'm doing good, thanks - been preoccupied lately. The JP3000 & JP4500 are rumoured to be replaced by one unit this year.

Re: New HQ 7000 Duplicator

Surprising, since they are the new HQ master with the micropore "sponge" layer. Just goes to show that we pay too much for the old type masters! Good selling, Jim.

did I miss something or have you had the chance to look at their true costs for this inkjet printer? if they will let you look at the last 12 months invoices for purchases they made for the cartridges you will have real world dollars for a monthly cost for the ink. usually that alone can cost justify even if you have todo a guestimate on the volume that goes on the printer.

My thoughts also, I recommended Tohoku,Ricoh manufacturing a 4 color version of the TCII almost four years ago, heck if they can make a TCII, they can make a TC IV.
