[Claudio]

I have a vendor offering me 16 of these machines, but I am not familiar with it. The doc feeder looks cheap. Are they worth getting into or are they crappy machines?? I appreciate any input you may know about them.

So you aware. Kyocera Mita America has introduced the FS-C1020MFP; a color multifunctional printer ideally suited for today's small to medium sized businesses and shared workgroup environments.

A few things you should know about this unit. Ricoh and other manufacturers have also relabled this unit. The toner cartridge is an all in one cartridge, meaning that the cartridges houses the drum, cleaning unit, and toner. Cost for color is about $100 per cartridge, thus the cost per page for each color cartridge is .05 (5 cents). Black is about $50 per cartridge, thus the cost per page for black is .025 (two and a half cents). When making color copies or color prints based on 5% coverage per color, this unit will cost you an astonishing .175 (seventeen and a half cents per page). The thermal transfer and fuser are rated for the life of the unit. You also need to replace a waster toner container about every 25,000 pages.

Here's my pet peeve about this unit, Kyocera claims a max volume monthly duty cycle of 50,000 pages! Huh??? What? If you did make 50,000 pages on this device in one month, you would have paid $8,750 for the consumables and would probably have to buy a new unit, it would also take 40 hours to make those prints. Good for the very low volume user (home office), not so good for office work groups. The cost per page for color is too high!

Just had to put a $600 scanner unit in one of these pieces of crap. I was thinking just swap out the lil black box unit in the scanner bed....no wrong...you replace the whole scanner bed! This machine is total poop!

It sucks, tool

What do you think "rated for the life of the machine" means?

When the fuser goes the machine goes
