Canon Ir C2880 any good to work on?

[Guest]

A new customer wants me to work on their Canon Ir C2880 color copier. it has 437K total and 117K color copies. They do a 11 X 17 duplex newsletter. Non-profit ( by choise),& was with Icon nowricoh and they dropped them from M/A. I do some Canon but mostly Mita's and this one seems like it may be a problem child form reading other posts. Right now they are not having problems, but old contract ends this weekend.
We would most likely do a labor only contract ( if any) due to the age and condition. But I wonder if I should just pass on it??
Thanks

Re: Canon Ir C2880 any good to work on?

the 2880 was the first one so it is old and likely leaking Yellow toner all over. There are some updates for that though. Since it was Ikon they are likely giving them katun toner. I know because I just started one like this too. Looks like the only bad thing is the katun toner likes to fly around a little around the drum area. Not real bad though.
