      I guess that would depend on what you consider "Production". I stated my career in this industry at Xerox; I did PM's on their Production equipment. These are what I consider production; 500 lb. paper roll feed with cutter, four 5k stacker units, a belt that holds 7 images at a time and a fuser roll bigger then both your arms. But hey, that's just me.

      Outside of true Xerox production equipment, their new boxes are shit.
      KM are consistently good but have a higher price tag in general but produce very well.

      It is also very dependent on what you plan on producing: color vs. monochrome, various paper stocks, finishing and booklets options, yadda yadda yadda....


      Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!

        Earlier in my life I have worked on the Xerox 4000 models and the Konica 1050 and 1051s full blown units. My personnel option is the Konica's

          You need to define your requirements.

          1). Monthly Volume
          2). Finishing Requirements
          3). Max paper weight
          4). How far away is the closest service provider
