Which was the BEST copier ever?

[scepter2112]

Anyone remember the Canon NP120?

Cold process machine LOL. I once walked into my shop to have a newbie trying to remove pressure spring on fuser rollers. would have made good Pic. for rotten.com if I let him.
That it made copy look like a thermal fax makes it a little weird.

have to agree with visitor - - - the Minolta 4000/5000 series are so good that we hardly ever hear from those customers anymore!!!

Imagine that you don't here from them anymore? They're dead thats why. The Canon iR3300 series and the iR5000 series also the Panasonic DP-C262/322 are right up there.

I think that color Panasonic is the only good Panasonic I ever worked on.

I agree with Sbarro on the Toshiba 1340/1370

Sbarro....I am in agreement with the Toshiba 1340/1370 pick (desktop class)

I am AMAZED...Just how well engineered and designed this tiny, 55 pound, (13 copies per minute), ANALOG series(Toshiba1340/1350/1360/1370) runs. "Terminator" is the word that best describes this little beast. And the Toshiba 2060/2080 is the 20/28 CPM faster version and a bigger beast. I sold these brand new out of a crate...I became the Maytag man waiting for them to break. And 10+ years later, im still waiting for a service call.
Me: "Hi, how can I help You" ....
my customer:" Hi Joe, Im calling about our Toshiba (1340/1350/1360/1370/2060/2080 ..pick one)"
Me: "AH.HAA!!! You need service right??
My customer: " No, we just added our last TONER... Can you drop off a case when you have time.....No rush"
Me to myselfl:"DOH!!"
Now the question is HOW do you go from making outstanding machines .... and follow that up with the E studio series that is an insult to the word shit?

There are a lot of great machines out now but my vote goes to the Canon IR550/600 series.

km-3530 TO KM-5035

Good machines, most of the problem can be fixed in a short peroid of time. easy to troubleshoot.

[Dan Dryer]

Another vote for the Canon iR3300 series. Extremely reliable workhorse of a machine, so good in fact, that customers are reluctant to part with them when the lease expires. I'll be sorry to see them disappear too, because they made me look good!

Konica minolta digitals copiers

Copystar 3035

[langelot]

My vote goes to...

The Konica Minolta Bizhub Pro 920 & 950 -
based on the original Konica 7075

The Konica Minolta Bizhub Pro 920 & 950 -
based on the original Konica 7075

Gotta agree with Langelot. I don't know much outside of Konica machines, but ever since the 7075 came out, I fell in love with it and its successors (7085 and 920).

MY Favorite Black and White

This box might predate some techs but the Sharp SF8100 ran PM to PM and had very few problems. That is why Sharp pulled off the market after a couple of years. Also the Sharp SF7300/7350 ran like a champ. Very few problems until they got old ( 10 to 12 years).

Kyocera Mita.

My claps for new generations of MFP's Kyocera Mita. But Samsung deserves my claps too.

I can recall working on a couple of the old SF8100's when I first started in the business 10 years ago, the old SF7300's were some great machines, so were the SF 7320/7370's they had auto dv cal in them, no more trying to tweak that little pot.
The AR336/405's were a good machine too, when they upgraded to the 7 series, 337, 407, 507's they did something wrong, started to see problems more and more.
Although you could push the PM supplies a long time
