Bizhub Press C8000 VS C16000

[msaeger]

What does having two fusers improve ? I have heard Canon does that too but I haven't heard why.

[random]

Whats the difference between a KM print and say a print of a Xerox 8000 or 5000? Well it's the glossy look. Some customers prefer the glossy look of the xerox most people prefer the matt look off a KM, which is why Xerox have made machines such as the 700 and 1000 with a matt finish. The extra fuser I understand is to produce a gloss finish. Ever printed on 80gsm at 300gsm paper weight? Pretty glossy. This photo shows one open, looks a bit more industrial that a c6500 but still the two pathetic input idle rollers.

Is this a Kodak box, I know Konica Minolta are going to badge some of thier kit, Is this one?

No JSC you are thinking of the NEXPRESS



The PRESS C8000 looks like this

KM has yet to release full details, there are similarities, but some significant differences. 2 fuser units for example.

C8000 code name is Renoir, I first seen the prototype in R&D back in Feb 2008. The jump from the C6501 to C8000 would be similar in the jump from the C500 to C6500 5 years ago.

There is also a C6000 & C7000 to replace the C6501.

AFAIK the C16000 that Jma676 posted is the result of a creative mind and photoshop... Have never seen anything like that on the drawing board.

Jma676 I see you are the master of google, this was probably the most sensible bit of information you have posted to date.

Found this nice pic of Renoir... This machine is an Animal.

[jma676]

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French pronunciation: [ʁənwaʁ]painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau.


Horse!!! , What do you think about the paper feeding system?

[Stirton.M]

This system can also be seen on the 1200 and faster b/w models. All in all, this technology is long overdue in KM hardware, though truth be told, I recall seeing similar technology in older Minolta analog machines like the old CSPro series, but those were on the transport bed, not the feed side. I hear Canon and Xerox have been doing something similar to this feed concept for a long time.

On the plus side, this will certainly reduce the need to carry a couple spare feed tires....

[jma676]

Ok, this is what I know, the question is, if anyone can expand the information about Air-Suction System, the air suction is also used in traditional offset printing systems.

[HORSE]

The Air feed is very very good, its the same unit as the Bizhub 1200. A similar system on the Bizhub 2500 (Oce) it has been claimed that the machine ran 3 million images without a single jam.
