    Curious, how many KIP techs hang out here?

    So, are there many KIP techs here? If so, what KIP machines do you service?

    We will work on just about all of them, though haven't come across a color one yet. Our main population is 2000, 6000, 3000, 3100, 5000, 8000, 9000. Infact, getting ready to load up a 3100 right now for install. We also have a few older models out there, but only a few.

            I have only seen one in my area, but if they ask, I would work on it. I do HP designjet work. Big is BIG, if I can get a manual I will give it a try.

              I am certifiable on the 3000 3100 and 5000 but have not had to touch one in 3 years so a little rusty.

                Xerox sell a big Kip, I think it was their
                model 8855.

                Model number might be wrong, but it is a KIP!

                  The KIP color (KC80) is a scary thing. Very sensitive as far as color registration. Last check, it can only be installed on a concrete floor. And, at $100,000, they aren't selling very fast.

                    I check this site from time to time but mostly hang out at: KeepItPrinting.com :: Index
                    All we do is KIP's, been working on them since the 1st one the DP-36

                      I'm trained on the 3000, 3100, 5000, 7000 and 9000. But I've never actually seen anything above a 3100 - I don't think the sales guys really know how to sell them.
