You see all the models you mention are POS machines.
4050 4750 ain't KM don't even think that the C3851 come from under the same roof but looks like KM built.
Again KM A4 sucks. Worst documents feeders i have ever encountered .
Looking at the C3320i. They fixed some things like the paper feed and DF.
Hope i like this one.
Why i like Konica Minolta the best is they are easy when it comes to breaking rules. Rebuilding and chipping(Replacing ICP's) units works well if you know what you are doing. Can't believe there are guy not converting B/W units to color, the saving there is remarkable. Will take some good quality 3de party toner for the B/W machines. Running OEM toner for the color machines when its critical. These days you can get color developer, drum units, feed rollers and fuser kits for cheap. So on a tighter service schedule you can run fong kong toner. Not recommended for the faint of heart or strictly professionals. You need to have an eye on the running cost to see where you can stretch things including your time.
On the 958 the OEM drum unit does well past it yield almost double. Now there are no 3de party blades to fit so I change out only the drum labeled B552.
Still the same drum after all these years. The drum unit on the 958 got one major change, its got double the charge exposure. Powerful charge output.
With the cheap drum got another 300K out of the unit. The B754 machine is great at this time, most PM parts are available from 3de party. Most KM PM parts makes 2 to 3 times the yield with added care cleaning and inspecting. Cleaning out waste toner from units helps on some models to extend part life. B423 drum can make 400K by removing the top cover from the drum unit and vacuuming the cleaning/recycling section then turn drum backward slowly to dislodge anything stuck between the drum and blade. Bla bla bla. Off the point, point being with care you can cheat to stay competitive with the bigger boys that have control over the parts and support channels.
I'm so glad we're having here guys like you. Don't ask me why
