[jcrental]

DOes anybody have MP9001 running that might have some input about this machines,

are they reliable,
what kind of montly volume they can handle
can it be compare to the canon ir7095
would it handle having several users, who treat machines diffrently reffering to slaming doors, kicking drawers, droping paper in paper trays, and other known user beat ups.

is it similar to the ricoh EX906pro

any info would helpful. thank you

One of the best Ricoh boxes.

One of the best by far. Only down side is they take several different PM parts to their slower sisters. It's pushed my car stock up a bit anyway!

They are great but I looked at the brochure for the Canon and I would say the Pro 907 would be more comparable to that one. You need to look at what you need for finishing and paper input too.

I have an account that does 80k a month but all they do is saddle stitched 8.5x11. The sales guy was going to try and sell them a 9001 but then they pretty much would have ended up with 1000 sheet paper input and the lower duty finisher. I recommended (which they actually went with) a Pro 906 with a plockmatic and a wide lct.

A sales guy who listens to and engineer? Bugger me.

I'm not sure of the wisom of running the 75cpm frame machines at 90cpm. It's got the fuser from a 1075 too!

[TonerMunkeh]

Oh no, not the one with the big, thick hot roller?

I don't think there is anything wrong with running it faster people just need to understand the difference between copies per minute and recommended monthly volume. I have had some 5500's replaced with 5000's because "it's only 5 ppm slower so it should be ok"

Nooooooooooo!

We're not selling the 4000/5000/4001/5001 any more thank god.

Can they handle easily 250k monthly, also where can i find this information for this model, dowloaded the product brochure and support guide but could not find the information.

By the way i think i am getting 40 4001's and last message says not selling them anymore, whats being the problems with this models.
Are they just not reliable, break down to much, let me know

Get a pro906ex or a pro907ex. These machines are really awesome! You can run them for 400K without a hitch! My customers love them. There is a little learning curve on the App's., but they really run well. Well worth any extra money when you need to get a job done even if it is above your normal volume. In my opinion they are a big step above a Canon 7105. Just do the pm's and they are a tech's best friend!

Great machine, looses copy quality but if you MOD it to the MP9000 tube spec it will run like a dog... Super high black quality.

[msaeger]

Are you talking about modding the pro 906 and or the 907 ?

Sorry, LOL I was thinking of the aficio 9005

I was trying to push the sales guy for the 906ex but they wanted to start slow with MP9001 as they refer, there was a major price diffrence around $4000.

Hear some comments that the toner auger sometimes can not keep up with the machine speed. Creating cake up toner or mess, any body hear about it.
