    Finding myself in the same position. Inquiring about a demo discontinue DP40 Pro demo machine I was given a price of 40,000.00 pounds, 8 x more than currently advertise on the internet. So if I should decide to buy one privately I have to look for cheaper replacement parts and toner. Can anyone tell me what Toner and what drums of Konica would work on this machine. All help would be appreciated. Regards Hennie

    DP60 is KM6500, but don't use toners. You can only use original toners, as MGI is adding something in the mix, otherwise you will eat up the developer kit very bad and will have issues with colour control. Thus, u can most of KM parts except drums (MGI have modified locking mechanisms for more heavy duty use) and toners. Also, the print engine itself is heavily modified, thus don't try to use KM parts in it to, but otherwise - almost all maintenance parts fit. You can ask KM directly and they will be able to say which parts are suitable for DP40
