Which was the BEST copier ever?

[jarwil]

don't know if it has been mentioned but the canon ir2200 series still is pretty bulletproof. Regular drum changes and can do double life easy

[slybot]

the canon np10/1215's were phenomanol machines. (built like brick shithouses) they were fantastic

[alanroper]

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.

Worked on the old 1360/70 machines a lot and they were great...but talking this century, the 6530c and 4520c series are simply incredible. Tougher that a Hilux\Range Rover depending what part of the world your from. We have actually had them dropped off fork lifts (by accident) and put back into service hours later.
Seems odd to be selling full colour machines in favour of black and white ones because they are more reliable. I really think these machines will live forever...

I've seen the Toshiba 6530c machines. Aren't they made by Kyocera Mita?

The best box ever is Ricoh MP 7500.

Have one with 10 mil prints and still run. Only one problem - developer leaking. I change original shaft sealing with sealing from Aficio 2105 and never, ever have problem wiht developer leaking

We have all voted for the worst copier ever, why dont we switch it up with:

What was the BEST COPIER EVER MADE?


I cast my vote for the Kyocera 2530, 3530, 4040, 3035, and 4035. You can\'t kill them things. And, the print systems actually work!

After more than 6 years of this thread continuting, this statement remains very accurate. Even with the 3050/4050/5050 and 420/520 series. Although I must point out a typo. The 4040 best machine ever, really? One of the first Mita digital boxes? :P

[Dedy.P]

I vote for iR5000/6000 series

[MAJSTOR]

Canon np 1550 lol

[Copier Whisperer]

The best analog copier, Mita DC8585.
The best Digital copier, Kyocera 3045,4035,5035
The best production copier, KonicaMilolta Pro920.

[developer dumper]

Canon Ir2200/3300 still plenty out there that work great

Re: Which was the BEST copier ever?

I have workrd on them and think you are way of the mark. The best copier is the Xerox 6180 or 6135 docutech. You tube

.
Have a look. The machine has been in production for 18 years.
Cheers

Re: Which was the BEST copier ever?

I have to agree with you on that one. Those older docutechs were beasts.

4040 with the print system G? The copier by itself was ok, but the print system G was the worst print system ever made.

Re: Best copier ever

The most trouble free box I have dealt with is the Ricoh 1027/2027.
Turn off the process unit PM display and run it till it dies.
Only box I will use generic toner with no problem.

BEST copier ever? I loved them all!

Royal RBC1
Fuser was 2 heated plates between which the copies were carried on belts made of springs. The springs would occasionally break and cascade into each other, forming a wonderful tangle. The customer was supplied with 15' long steel tongs for burnt paper removal. It had 2 zinc oxide based photoconductor sheets, bunny brush and vacuum for waste toner which collected in a box.
