    Duplexing 250 -> 550 -> C60

    Question for those in the know...

    The 250 and 550 and C60 all have, basically, the same inverter design. However, according to the specs, the 250's maximum for auto duplex was 176gsm, the 550 was 220gsm and the C60 is 256gsm.

    My question is, did they actually improve the inverters to allow the higher weight duplexing, or is it not reliable at the higher weights, but SOME papers may work?

    Years ago I used to try to duplex Tango 10pt C1S which is 200gsm, and it worked about half the time. That was technically over the 176gsm limit, though, so no big deal.

    With the 550, they say 220gsm, so it "should" work.

    With the C60, they say 256gsm, so it REALLY should work.

    Can anyone confirm the newer machine's inverters really are physically improved to allow it to work with the heavier weights, or is it just being "oversold" since some papers might work?

    Thanks!

    I think it's definitely depends on the paper. Actually I can do auto duplex on 300 gsm, Experia Digi Silk 330x480mm, Burgo - Italy on my Xerox Color 560 @ Heavyweight 1C 151-176, Glossy ON, also 250gsm 330x488mm, Moorim Pro-Digital, South Korea works fine.

    Happy Holidays to all ��
