Full color advice

[jquimze15]

Hi People!
Have a costumer searching for a machine to work on design and publicity imaging. Not wanting to buy an offset, wich (used / 2nd hand) machine should I purpose?
Has to fit for:
- Full color Printer; A3+; up to 300gsm (170lb) paper; accurate; finishing with booklet and stappler; RIP print server with software...
Please?!

Your kidding, right? 300gsm is too thick to run through just about any copier, especially a used copier.

Konica and Xerox have it!
The problem is..$$$

Sounds to me like you answered your own question. I never heard of a machine that can do anything over 120lb. My suggestion is walk away, walk away fast..........

You might want to look at the Canon iRColor 3200/3220 with a C1/C2 Fiery Print Server and a N2 Saddle Finisher. I can run up to 140lb. Index from the manual feed tray up to size 12x18. It's business color but I see a lot of print shops using it and the color isn't too bad.

Check the 3510c by Toshiba with the new fiery rip. Good running box add the saddle stich finisher. Good color and price is not tooo bad.

I think the Canon Ir5180 can do 140 # index from the bypass up to 12x18.Has better color than the 3220 also.

That is true. It's the upgrade version of the 3220.

The Toshiba seems good... The Canon 5180 is the machine I'm looking for!

Best machine I've serviced for running all those unsupported media types is the Ricoh 6513. 13"x19" bypass only rated 140lb. Capable of running card board and wood grain venier. I have a customer that uses 80lb wasau exact gloss coated as everyday paper from the trays. Ricoh support won't touch this. Draw back... can't duplex these media's and forget finisher options. CPC is alittle pricey.Color is good enough for professional presentation and print 4 pay.

P.S. she is a high maintenance lady.
