Which was the BEST copier ever?

[leroyal]

royal 115 or ubix 115 as we got them 20,000 pm
work horse. Also Kyocera falcon series 1,2,3 kick ass
machines

X2...ubix translated means good copy

[Oztech]

Legacy Minolta 450z. Totally service friendly and a work horse to boot!

Have to agree, 450z's were one of the first machines I ever worked on and other than the PWB-C cooking cos it was under the fuser!, they were pretty much bombproof. We used to clean the drums with BRASSO and they would last forever!

I thought the Panasonic 7728-7750 series analog series machines were pretty good. They also had a Panasonic 7160 (which I think was a Minolta 6000) for a good, higher-volume, analog box.

As long as you serviced the old Panasonic Medallion series up to specs, they were great machines. We saw some 7728's out in the field with between a million and 2 million copies.

The Panasonic color boxes (c213's and up) are great machines. We rarely have service calls on them. They just run.

Believe it or not (and time will tell if this is true or not) but the Samsung 8380's, the 6555 and the 6345's do the same thing....they just run. Rarely any issues on them after you get all the firmware stuff worked out. I honestly think they'll be a force to reckon with once the engineering on them gets down pat.

Only if you consider Steven Hawking to be the greatest breakdancer.

This quote REEKS of awesomeness.

Who made that new box for Sharp, or is it Sharp made, sure sounds like something from Toshiba, like the old AR 651 and 810 line.

Ground up fresh design from Sharp. They are great machines, especially considering they are first generation of that spec product.

X2, before 4035 came to be.......Royal 115

Royal 115... Undisputed Best First Bond Copier Ever Made!!!.....

[glewisme]

Best Copiers ever

I've got to hand it to Sharp. The ARM350/355//450/455 as well as the ARM550 series are great,and the newer MX versions are even better. The Minolta EP4000/ 5000's are great too.As well as the DI520/620. We once had a Hospital ER with and ARM550 and MXM620 that got over 3 million copies in a yr without any real issues

The Canon IR5000 IR2200/3300 were the most reliable,

[KEVIN900]

I loved the KonicaMinolta di470. Tighten the sorter set pin, Clean the thermistors/claws. 10 minutes of Doc Feeder service, wipe down and gone.

BizHub 2510 (with pf clutch update) I've see them easily pass 2 mil which is real good for a 25 cpm
machine. I also like the Bh C550 We replaced a lot of Konica 7155/65 and Bh 5510 with them and they are
low maint. I've worked on copiers since the 70's (Sharp SF 721, Royal 115)

[ToshibaTech]

There is one small old amazing machine
Toshiba series of 1340-1370. Simplicity and durability.
I love these machines.

Yeah these things are pretty amazing. A machine you haven't been on in 2 or 3 years and is spotless inside. Yuuup oh and it's an analog. For the size machine they are they run like crazy.

The new 6530c series seem to be built like tanks thus far also. 4520c not far behind.

[kingpd@businessprints.net]

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

I have to agree. They were built like tanks, drums get about 5 million images, super cheap to operate, I'm sure there's better grayscale quality machines out there but as far as the quality of the black printing, it's perfect/phenomenal. We have actually ran duplexed printing for 8, yes eight straight hours before on that model with no jams, only stopping to refill all the paper drawers...simply amazing. I believe the IR 105 uses the same frame and internals.

I believe they were one of the last that Canon made using heavy solid medal before opting for cheaper lighter plastics.

hi...the minolta EP1054-1085 for the analogue range....with digital the konica minolta bizhub 200-250

And start worrying about what these neo-con dip-shits are doing to this counrty.

I will never understand how people who work for a living (copier techs and small business owners) keep voting for these people against their own best interest.

Ps. Want to get a good laugh, do a google on \"miserable failure\" look who\'s #1.

DO YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY NOW, NOW THAT WE ARE ALL GOING BROKE?
(JUST WONDERING)

I'm not looking for a fight, a simple yes or no will do...

[YouthAttack]

konica minolta bizhub pro 920
customers crank them and all you gotta do is pm kits and feed rollers and they run forever
