Feed back on the Copystar CS-308Ci... is this a decent machine?

[copykat93]

Hi guys, I have a customer that will do MAX of 15-20K per year for church bulletins and little jobs here & there. It will be a copier/printer only, no scanning ... so I just wanted some feedback on the unit & toner yields, if they're close to stated yields? Any issues with this model? Only 1 drawer & no other options added to it.
Thanks

Is there nothing good about these units, or doesn't anyone in here have any of the CS 308Ci out in the field? Kind of hard to believe that nobody has these units to give some feedback on them.

They work fine for low volume

All toner yields are based on a 5% fill

No magic in that number more coverage lower yield

What do you consider "low volume"? should it be ok with 20K or less per year?

Perfect it can do more than that

I have several of these plus the older version . Not many service calls on these guys as long as the customer doesn't abuse the doc feeder. Good machine for the size

Just remember think the mk is 200k on these drums don't usually last much longer than that.

Only major issue we've had is toner pipe clogging on 2 which is a major strip down.... Doesn't happen often though.

We have schools who have done 200k+ very little calls on them.
