Canon IR Advanced C3300 Series

What didn't you like about the iR ADV C2225/C2230 series?

 

This new line effectively fixes these issues?

We had issues with mis-feeds the most. I also just didn't think it was a well built machine. Felt too flimsy compared to their other systems. I knew it wasn't Canon's favorite either when our TSE had said many times it was a poorly designed machine. I think it filled a niche they didn't have covered when you look at that segment as everyone pretty much had a 20/25 ppm system and with Canon you had to go to the C5235.

Well, can't say I'm not surprised. The pricing on C2225's these past couple of months has been stupid, and usually Canon drops their pricing when they are about to bring in a new product.

 

Looking forward to seeing Scan to Word, Mailboxes and built-in PCL/PS on the new 3300 models.

Czech,

 

It does have mailbox although I am not sure how intuitive it is as it reads "mailbox simple" as a standard feature. I don't recall ever seeing that terminology on any other series of machines.. I do like that it has built in PCL/PS as well.

Here is some more info if anyone is interested: http://www.swirlingovercoffee....bility-productivity/

 

If this is built as solid as the C5200 series, Canon is going get a lot more competitive in the commercial side.

Question, what's the fuss over the PCL/PS driver?  I had heard that the Canon print driver was pretty awesome.

I like that it's included is a good thing because if needed in an account its 600.00 for the postscript and then the additional memory required for it is another 158.00

Hey Art, just to add on to what Jason said:

 

UFR II print driver is great for general office printing, but offers pretty crappy colour quality and can't print when using DOS-based applications (AS 400, etc). Adding on PostScript or PCL costs $600 to $800. Pretty expensive in a competitive situation, especially when you're in a low volume commercial deal that needs 25 ppm colour.

ty for this, I was not aware of these issues.

The new inner finisher on this series looks really cool.

 

Probably more innovation that I have seen from an inner finisher ever and more flexibility in terms of use cases.

 

What do you think, Jason?

Czech, Art,

 

     I am going to disagree on the color quality of the UFR II driver, I think it is quite good. I would agree if we were talking about the older UFR driver, but not the newer UFR II.

 

   The only real draw back of the UFR II is it is a little slower than the PCL or PS drivers because it pre-rasters the print job on the PC or MAC before sending it to the Canon.
