Need Canon experts opinion on IR 1025if

[JPT]

I have a customer who wants to purchase one and don't know much about this unit. Any problems, concerns or issues with the IR 1025if?

Personally I work on the 1023's, and while they are better then the 1670 family they replaced, they are still the bottom of the line. I prefer it when my salesman can get them into at least a 3225 which is a full on copier. I would avoid anything in the 2020/2022 market. While they look like their bigger cousins, they are still a fax machine with copy machine dreams ;-)

The 1023's that I have, have been working pretty well, as long as they are not over taxed.

Like PP said, the 1023/1025 series isn't bad. It's a pretty small box but its good for what it is, by far better than any other comparable machine I have seen out there.

Most people in the market for the 1023/1025 aren't going to be easily sold on the IR-3225 series, its two different worlds. We have clients doing 60K a year on IR-1023's with no problems. The IR-1025 series hasn't been out long enough to confirm that they are just as well but it surely looks like the same box to me.

I agree, the only time we hear from these machines are the usual toner and drum calls

For their size they come with all the features and fittings of machines many times their size. All round their a good machine.

1025 issue

We just installed 5 units and the onlyproblem is the same as the 1023 "cant see the RUI when using Vista or IE7" I have beta firmware coming from Japan to fix this. I am sure it will be out soon. Other than that no other issues to report.

Ok machine. However, its like a Ford Focus versus a Ford Crown Victoria. Depends on how much they print. Do not let lack of space dictate the type of machine, otherwise you will be struggling to get in and out of that little Focus and you will curse Ford and the techs who service it, when it was poor decision making that caused this.
