Most reliable Toshiba medium sized Color Copier ??

[Claudio]

Of all the Toshiba color copiers, which do you think is the most reliable, likeable to customers and tech friendly?
I may be looking for a used one at copier leasing/brokers companies and I am not familiar with any Toshiba brand color copiers. Only worked on a couple of Kon.-Min.
In the past, I had someone tell me to always keep away from the e-Studio 3511, 4511 because they had way too many bugs.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I would not even consider selling a 4511 series. 451c, 351c, 281c series is better but IMO still not worth it. 3510c series is OK as long as they have all the mod kits to keep dusting down inside of them. If you can pickup some 4520c series (2330, 2830, 3530, there are a couple more i think...) used you'll be doing yourself a HUGE favor. These things run and run and run and run. Plus the 4520c series has Win7 drivers out right now the others do not (yet.)

The customer will not be as happy with the quality on a 451c series. The 3510c and 4520c image qualities are basically the same but the 4520c takes a lot less to maintain that same quality.

I have started with TOSHIBA copiers. Since 2 years I am maintaining KM and would say You should stick on KonMin!

I have worked on the 3511,281c and3510c family toshibas and the 3510c runs very well for me, however I take care of them by the book. Pm's on schedule and firmware/mods as they come out and most run 50k-70k with few if any noncustomer caused errors. I have not worked on the 4520c machines since I was bought out. but I hear they are good machines. As to the Konica/Minoltas I am trained on the 650/652series and the 6500 series. The 6500 is over kill for most locations. Most of the KM's have iu units that are simply replaced instead of rebuilding (15 minute call instead of 1hr or more). and they seem to run very well.

We have a 2330c and the quality pretty good. We're going on just over a year, and it has had no problems. No service required yet. Resistive color touch panel work really well. Didnt take long to figure out all the panel usage and options. But then again, we are a small company and probably aren't abusing it like we should. Theres also the fact that I haven't used much of anything else to compare it to, other then small personal units. I can sure say its way faster then any of the smaller personal units ive used, for Color and BW.
