Canon ImagePress C700

[Digger]

I am in the market for a used copier. A dealer has a C700 he says will print what I need. I am printing 80lb glossy cover usually 10K at a time several times a month. Anyone know anything about this copier? Is it good for what I am doing?

I had another guy try to sell me a brand new C5550I but he wanted $21K and told me he was giving me a really good price. I am not sure as that seems like the list price.

Any help appreciated

Both great machines but I would likely go with the C700 as it is capable of a wider variety paper types and weights.
