| The Xante Illumina handles up to 502 gsm. It is an Okidata manufactured machine modified by Xante to handle heavier stocks than Oki's version. The Okidata C9650hn Color Signage Printer model will handle up to 385 gsm/18 pt. Only drawback is their consumables are very high for print for pay locations not to bad though for end users. I have the older Oki model C9200 and it handles most cover stock up to 12 pt. Produces beautiful color up to 13x19 but I upgraded to a Canon C3220 due to the consumable cost of the Oki. If I were going to buy another Oki or Xante printer I would go with the Oki, it is a fraction of the cost of the Xante version unless I just had to have the 502 gsm, but 385 gsm is plenty heavy enough even for most copy shops or commercial printers. |
