Re: ricoh color copier

How is the copy quality now ToM, do you have solid black on prints? Did you replace toner bank assy?
Does specialist points to a worn/blocked black toner dispensing assy?

Re: ricoh color copier

Yeah, tell me about it. I've had one kicking my arse for the last 3 days.

I want more kudos for saying these are shit boxes and labour intensive in the rants rave section Which copier was the biggest piece of crap ever?



oh and no we dont recommend these as copiers.

I'm hoping a new set of bias rollers, bushings and an HV board will sort it. I've got a complete transfer assembly coming as well that I can pull parts off if required. I'll let you all know how I get on tomorrow.

We had one of these doing a similar thing, 2 full k pcus where replaced in a matter of days, and in less than 1000 pages the black would start to fade away from the front to the rear of the sheet. the cq was spot on when the PCU and dev assy where replaced. We ended up fitting an entire new transfer assy (and new belt as the new transfer unit comes without a belt). Problem resolved. This machine had done around 600k black and 200 k colour.

Re: ricoh color copier

NEVER buy an Venus family machine MPC6000,6001. Awful, awful machine it's a very high maintenance bit of kit often sold to the wrong environment.

usually if someone dont like a machine, someone else will defend them and say they are ok........lets wait

It is, without a doubt, the worst machine I have ever worked on. I cut my teeth on these things and can quite honestly say I have never met a machine that was such a god awful piece of shit.

Re: ricoh color copier

unfortunately the whole group transfer belt.
Then look at the contact springs bias and pcu that are on the machine. I have found them bent and discharged to ground

Shite, if you do dev units and charge at 60k then PCU, fuser, feed, lens block assy and transfer clutch assy at 120k then these will run forever.

I'm trying to convince myself...

Re: ricoh color copier

thank you all for your comments. we will start with ricoh mpc4500's as recommended and stay away from those ricoh mpc6000's. your comments are very much appreciated and of big help. more power to you all.

Re: ricoh color copier

For color quality I would recommend Canon or even KonicaMinolta, although KonicaMinolta machines are very high maintenance and not reliable.
I would definitely stay away from Ricoh and Kyocera color copiers, but I would consider Kyocera for Black and White.
