Also, on a more important side note - You won't be hitting 288C very well from any CMYK build. It's sure to print rather purple. This particular swatch is just out of Gracol7 CMYK gamut. It's better to have your printer use the appropriate ink (Knl's advice for 4 +1 , or 4 color process + one...

Not on any of the Canons. They seem to duplex perfectly. I would stay away from running synthetics on the Canons, as the machines are some of the hottest I have seen. Gloss paper and smooth matte stocks print absolutely beautiful. Canon will hit the full Gracol7 color gamut; Canon's color is the...

The C6010 is a great machine. We leased a new 6010 and couldn't be happier. The older 6-7000's have some chronic issues including almost weekly ITB web replacements, further frequent corona wire replacements. There not bad machines (quality wise), but you will need to service these machines at...

I'm running it by our CEO now. We surely could use a folder - as we currently outsource this type of finishing.

Too bad i'm in NJ

Canon has better color for sure. Quality and reliability will be similar (reliability may be a bit better with Konica). I would seek out a new service provider for your Canon. No need for a new lease... The lease with a service agreement won't be cheap.

Duplex will be 2 of course

The Konica sales team has manipulated many. Contact Konica directly, as all your clicks should register as 'one' - even 13x19" sheets

You may need some unique tools - funnels - and bins to change the developer. this was always something I had a tech come by and do. Its a bit of a lenthy service on small machines like this. the code i'm not sure of. I'll see if i can look it up.

Extremely well worded. Rich's statement should be taken to heart by all.

You may need a developer change. This Konica's primary task during what they call a "PM Service" or preventative maintenance. That rough gritty texture that you feel is actually the developer itself (after it's lost its magnetism, and has been reduced to a fines powder). It begins to shake out...

This is digital printing. Regular service comes with the job.

Replacing of the secondary (or primary if it's very worn) fixing rollers along with the collecting rollers should fix this problem. Sometimes the techs will say its within spec of the machine - which i don't care for much. The prints shouldn't scratch.

Hm. How many clicks? Maybe the fixing roller was blemished in some way during the install. Or the collecting roller has an imperfect finish (this roller cleans the fixing roller, its solid steel and any defect here would leave on imprint on the delicate fuser roller)

The Technician will say this is normal for coated media after the press ages a bit. They can fix it however, with the replacing of the secondary fixing roller and collecting roller. The may be reluctant at first, but these scratches/streaks bother me quite a bit. Especially on larger print pieces.
