    Re: Black & white vs Color machines? what is most reliable

    Thanks for the info guys. I talked with a local copy tech. Plans are reasonable and now I'm looking at some low volume machines. Trying to decide if a sharp arm237 or Canon ir2020i would be the most reliable. The Canon has better specs it seems and my print tech speaks highly of Canon and sharp machines.

    Honestly I think both are going to be decent choices.

    Main difference is Sharp will need developer changed if you start doing lots of volume and Canon won't. But your technician will do that for you anyways.

    Re: Black & white vs Color machines? what is most reliable

    Ricoh has some really nice color units in the 20 - 50 ppm range that should fit your needs unless you plan on using a lot of heavy or coated stock. Avoid the 60 page units unless you want to go back to the 5560 which was the first generation 60ppm color - the later machines are a monster to service and have issues that ricoh still hasn't addressed, but they handle heavy paper pretty well.

    Most of ricoh's 3-4 year old B/W MFP's will scan color as well, and have historically been some of the fastest and most reliable scanners on the market - all but the newest models are limited to 600dpi, but it's a really good 600dpi.
