    Printer for (high) quality prints

    Good evening to the community, I'm usually more of a quiet reader here and have already received a lot of help from various posts here.

    In private ownership I currently have an old used Canon ImagePress C1+ which has a very good color quality, but unfortunately has strokes on prints which, according to a friend, can no longer be repaired economically.

    Therefore, instead of a used printer, I would now like to use a new or display device. Because according to the statement of the service technician, today's printers - even the cheaper series - print better than the ImagePress C1+ because of the outdated technology.

    The OKI Pro9000 series sounds very promising, but seems to be out of budget. I've also asked some local shops, but they couldn't really help me in this context and could only recommend "normal" office printers like the "HP LaserJet Enterprise M776dn" and "OKI MC883dn".

    My question is: Which printers, regardless of the manufacturer, would you recommend for printing graphics?

    The upcoming project would be an artbook, so a print with high color quality and fidelity would be very important.

    I have currently put together the following "requirements":
    Print sheets size: A3 (or larger)
    Paper weight: min. 170g/mē
    Duplex capable: Required
    High color accuracy or even an internal color calibration
    Precise duplex printing (front/back, precise feeding of paper sheets)
    Resolution: min. 1200dpi
    Budget: 1000-4000 € (less preferred, but really only with marginal disadvantages)
    Location: Austria, Europe (Maybe important because some models are specific to different countries)

    I am also very interested in the sleeking process, so it would be very good if the printer prints with laser technology, and precise positioning.

    Current models that I am considering:

    • OKI Pro9431 / Pro954x (Maybe out of budget)
    • Kyocera TASKalfa 5053ci (Used about € 3,317.47, Exhibitor)
    • Minolta Bizhub C650 (Used about € 3,999.00)
    • AccurioPrint C750i (Maybe out of budget)
    • HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M776dn (€ 3,382.18, Refurbished)
    • Oki MC883dn (1864.00 €, New)


    Would be glad about any help!

    Best regards & Thanks in advance

    I don't know all these machines but I can comment on a few:
    the Taskalfa 5053ci will be a struggle maintaining the kind of image quality you want. I haven't seen heavy media used in this machine ... don't know how that would work.
    the bizhub C650 is obsolete. The quality is good, the MFP reliable, great on heavy media, but you won't be able to keep it for long.
    the bizhub C750i can be tweaked to be almost as good as the C650.
    the HP Laserjet Enterprise MFP M776dn isn't really a production machine, probably won't hold up.

    Just my 2 cents ... =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
