Xante EnPress-is it worth the purchase?

[Yvonne Lauziere]

We run a lot of envelopes, many remits, #10s and A6/A7/A1. We have traditionally run these on one of our Konica Accurio Presses and are contemplating an EnPress to free up these production presses. I am curious to know if folks out there think the EnPRess is a good machine-the envelopes print straight, etc? I received printed samples which were great, but am curious to people's opinion before I move forward. Thank you!

I suggest you read through some of these forums. Lot's of pros and cons listed in these user posts. The most consistent complaint is the feeding consistency.

In my shop, we were also using our KM's to print envelopes, and eventually purchased an OKI...which is very similar to the Xante. It was just ok, but had similar feeding issues as the Xante. Now we need more speed because our volumes are increasing. You can only get that with inkjet at this point. Not sure if you've looked into that or not. The quality isn't as good as toner, but it's significantly lower cost per piece, much faster, and you are no longer limited to buying 'digital window' or side-seam envelopes. You can also do full-bleed.
