    MP6002, the plastic op panel sags badly - in order to swing out the toner bottle, you have to lift up on the op panel with one hand, and swing the bottle out with the other......

    For a second there, I thought that was one of those dressing room copiers at the "gentlemen's club", but then I saw there was no glitter.....

    I have noticed on the newer machines, that they reinforce the backside of panels with a plastic honeycomb type lattice work. Maybe good for structure and lightweight, but if something punches through the outside plastic, it won't help very much!

    Just lectured our truck drivers once again about being very gentle with the new '03 series but I don't think they heard me over the noise of their knuckles scrapping on the ground.

    Yes the new stuff is now like every other brand in cheap flimsy making, watch out for the razor sharp edges on the stamped metal pieces...............They will draw blood.............

    Remember the old Ricoh analogue copier? they weighed 250 kilo and that's a quarter of a ton in the old money! They don't build them like that any more.........thankfully.

    We're just about to write off a MP C3003 that got somehow twisted during transport and I don't think that will be the last.

I really couldn't argue the point.......
    The mpc3503 is 90lbs lighter than an mpc3500. Lots of plastic and any metal is paper thin. Don't strap them too tightly if you use a moving van to transport them, you will bend the frame.
