GR3770 versus RN riso

[bcp]

Hi all - is the RN model of Riso any good - reliable etc. Am thinking of getting one to replace a GR3770. The RN has low copy count under 500,000. Anyfeedback would be great. thanks

rn machine

hi walter, just purchased one the other day, seems to work just fine

I had been selling and service around 50units of this RN models since the last couple years. It is quite reliable as not much of serious problems need to attend for. But make sure you check and change the master ejection belt.

hey guys been working on the riso product line for 30 years rn is not the best unit ask me one of the worst...

hi, can you please tell me what is wrong with the rn, i got a rn 2550 from a government department, in five years it has done only 240,000 copies, to me it works great.

[riso specialist]

well if works great than your a lucky one... this unit had master dis problems they had a mod for that ..they came out with a new master dispos unit.... also had feed in master problems.. little breass bushing was to big causing jams.. the only problem is that u had to remove have the riso to get at it... drum problems ink over flow...

hi mate, when you say this unit, do you mean the 2550 or the earlier r n machines, i thought they would have straightened all the problems out by then.

[riso specialist]

well most of the problems were with the earlyer rn line but have had problems with those also but if unit is fine ...thats all that matters

I will agree with riso specialist. The RN machine is a POS. I would compare it with the TR series of Riso which is also a POS. The disposal unit is just stupid. Using rubber bands to dispose masters soaked in ink = fail. Try replacing a paper sensor on a RN unit. See you in a few days. Riso Specialist are Risos even 30 years old? I thought they came out in 85. I am not sure, but I also have worked on them all RG, RC, RA, GR, TR, CR, RN, RP, RZ, and HC series. Of all of them the RN is my least favorite and it would not compare to the dependability of a GR. Plus the RN is only legal while the 3770 will print 11 X 17.
