WOW, I am really impressed with these machines. I finished class today and aced the course. And cant wait for the 65,75 speed machines to come out.

[LNorris]

did they say they were coming out with faster models, and if so, when? we have been told that this the fastest they were getting.

? can't remember seeing anything about 65-75 colour machines on the roadmap. sure you didn't mean the new 62/82 page black/white taskalfas?

[texchar555]

yes, they are working on a high production machine after the taskalfa technology.

[vikingmita]

i'll have to verify that with my 'insider'. can't see they do that with the voyager platform, so that would be a brand new machine. anyway: that would be interresting. a giant colour-kyo with 4 mill. yield drums, 500' dev, 50' toner, stepping motors like 8030 and vacum-feed like 7530. that would be something. totally unlikely though.

[texchar555]

in a week or 2 they will have low end color machines, I cant wait to see them and try them out.

new info just in- machine is coming out at the start of the new year. I also found out its based from a canon machine with kyo parts.

[vikingmita]

wonder if this is a u.s. only machine.

[vikingmita]

how did that come to be? is it not based on the other TaskAlpha design?

From what I was told, they are selling the EStudio 6530C series for a year to 18 mos. until they get their own into production.
