Scarcity of Konica parts and toner continues here in San Diego USA

[blazebusiness]

Pretty hard to run a business when Konica toners and parts and new machines are so hard to come by. Try telling your contract customers that some C754e toners or image units are hard to get... surprisingly many of them have been very understanding.

No end in sight yet either....... like the whole world decided to take a complete break from real life. Share your parts and toner issues here if you want to vent on a sympathetic ear. Wish I had stocked up more on the C654e series stuff prior to this. Fortunately I did stock up big time on the 8 series toners and parts , and the C454 / C224 series toners before this began. I can probably still last another 6 months on those models. What a strange time to be alive.................

If you have 6 month supply of toner you'll be fine.

Worst case look into the Lexmark equivalent.

I know the Lexmark XC9245 is a rebadged C458 for one. It is very hard to find an accurate Konica - Lexmark cross reference list. Might be nice to post that info here if anyone knows it.

On a side note: Happy new year to all you great people that post here. Wishing you all the best.
