Re: which models of the following is better for buying

If you can pick up that MP7500 at a decent price with a reasonably low counter (under 1.5mil) it should be a good work horse. Bearing in mind the cost of servicing this machine will be quite a lot more than say the aficio 3045.

It really does depend on how much you are going to be using it. A 75 PPM machine is pretty serious kit and I would suggest buying it with a service agreement so you pre-pay for your parts and servicing. On the other hand you could buy one of the older slower machines and just wear the costs of servicing when it breaks down.

If you can provide a little more detail about the amount of work you would expect this machine to do we could give you better advice on purchasing the correct copier to suit.

For middle to high volume you has better go with the 2075, MP5500 or the M7500. They are all good boxes. I can't tell you anything about the Sharps. The first 3 are toner blowers.

Re: which models of the following is better for buying

If you're going to print 30k pages a month then the first three (AF2045/AF3035/AF3045) aren't the right machine for these kind of volumes. I would recommend the MP7500. If you perform maintenance on time you'll have no problems withe these machines.

+1

First three would be a nightmare if you try to push them for that type of volume.

better check if you can get a tech near you..get the feeling you are in some far off place in the world..
for my $$ id pay up to get a afmp 6001 with less than 500k..
im sure connectivity is a need?
i like the mp5500-mp7500 series but a low count machine might not be there..

Re: which models of the following is better for buying

35 and 45 PPM machines simply aren't built for high volume printing,avoid them at all costs,or you'll have tech sleeping ower.
MP 7500 i just right machine for you trust me,money invested in this puppy is money well spent.
They are extreamly durable,I'm doing maintenance on few with 7Mil counter,we have our fights and delights but they are still working quite nice.
While looking for machine look for a good tech allso,she can be brand new but if some doushebag is working on it,then you'll have only problems.
There isn't much I can tell you about options and accsesories it has...it's like ewery high volume machine...75 pages per minute,comes with finisher unit,optional printer,scanner,fax,large capacity tray,paper heaters and so on...

hi eric. based on online info, the monthly duty cycle of the first three models is 100k which i think can handle a 30k monthly volume but these are, as stated by mikadonovan, TONER BLOWERS. the monthly duty cycle of mp7500 is 300k and i agree that with proper maintenance this can very well handle the 30k volume with no problems. though based on my experience with high speed ricoh's, i encountered developer dropping at the feed assembly which caused problems.

Re: which models of the following is better for buying

Yes developer leaking on pick-up's is a mess on them and that is why I change bushings and semerings on developing assembly ewery time I change developer.
Same way with changing hot roller,I change stripers and thermistors with it,and hot roller bearing on ewery second hot roller change...that way I don't have to worry about SC542 call after customer press the machine silly with 15k prints in one day,and that happens quite often.
They allso have problems with toner recycling system,if customer starts using some toner other than ricoh brand,then he shuld acsept the fact that it may make a total mess inside recycling ducts...avoid "for use" toners please...don't make it harder on yourself,you'll spend all the money you wuld save on cheap toner on fixing the mess it can make.
That is why quality maintenance is such a critical factor,you must give her what she needs to work propper
It's costly but provides durability.
