Rep Power: 23 | This is the only problem with buying too big, especially Canon. When it needs something it won't be cheap, and at low volumes you won't get those rated yields. Overall, I think you made the right decision. =^..^= | | |

Rep Power: 1 | Blackcat, I haven't made the decision yet. What did you think was the right one to make? 3100 or 3200?
I don't really understand what 'buying too big' and 'rated yields' mean as I know nothing about photocopiers from your side of things.
I thought low volumes would be a good thing? Maybe not. Anyway, as I said above, I am ready to walk away.
I'm miserable now - and I was so excited. Hey ho.
Regards, Penelope | | |

Rep Power: 5 | Hi Penelope, I don't work on the ir color machines myself, but I understand the 3200 series is supposed to be a good machine. the monthly recommended volume is 5-30K copies. The monthly maximum should not exceed 50,000 copies. It is a full color machine. The ITB and transfer rollers (works with image formation) needs to be replaced about every 300,000 copies and the fuser parts run in the 100,000 copy range. So as you can see at a million it has been thru some servicing. If it has been serviced properly it should still be a decent machine. I hope this helps with your decision. | | | | |

Rep Power: 5 | by the way: buying too big means you buy a machine that does 100,000 a month and you only need 2,000. or it does 5,000 and you only need 200. it is overkill and you can go smaller. yields are the copies you get out of the toner and drum. Think of it like a car. you buy a high performance car but it sits for long periods. It probably won't run as well as it should and you end up tuning it up more often then you might otherwise. Hope this makes sense.  | | | | |

Rep Power: 1 | Thank you - that is concise and clear. I am going to sleep on it and, as the seller is not too far away, go and 'eyeball' him. If I don't get a good feeling I shall walk away. What you say will help my decision. Have decided NOT to get the 3100 whatever happens. Regards, Penelope | | |

Rep Power: 5 | One more thing. I just spoke with the manager of our color team and he said the machine is a "tank". and if it was cared for he would have no problem with a 3200 with one million copies. | | | | |
