Canon MFC advice

[iCornerstone]

Some advice please on Colour printer/copier/scanner

I have been looking at these 2nd hand colour printers/copiers listed below and i am thinking of buying one of them. All would fit the requirements as far as specs go.
- Do you have any recommendations to STAY CLEAR of specific models? - Do you recommend any BETTER ones instead?

I am looking mainly for:
a) Reliability issues
b) Colour performance
c) Toner and drum expense

2100 is sooo old avoid

3100 is crap ,truly the work of the devil

clc/irc2620 - 3220 are the same print engine so......

so what is the difference between the CLC and the IRC models?

[alex@wocltd.com]

clc= has rip
irc= internal nic but does has ps emulation

this is where i get flamed - if it is a HEAVY graphic mac enviroment the yes you need the rip

however rip's especially the c1(always try to get c2) need care ,they will fall over and hang so it is an additional piece of hardware to fail...

and i've yet to have a nic fail- but everyone and their dog is gonna tell that they have had one fail

go for a later 32/2620 and they have ufr which is a pleasure to use on a mac

whereabouts are you in the u.k?

Hi Alex,
Thanks for all the advice. It was just what i was looking for. I am still doing my research on different models and brands. I will definitely get in-touch with you closer to the time. Many thanks again.
