Canon MFP and printers

[kyove]

Hi Guys,

My company is about to change Brand.
We always had Kyocera but now it's time to change.
We are a small company that works mainly with rental.
It's not yet decided but now (tech rep) I have to give my opinion.

What's about Canon? The ImageRunner are good models?
What's about the color print quality? We all know that Konica are the best but in my mind Canon is a big player.
Someone knows in comparison to a Kyocera?
And monochrome models?

Now let's this thread go, this is no time to be shy.

Thank you in advance,
Kyove

Everybody (excepting maybe Samsung) does better color than Kyocera. You can only improve. =^..^=

I work on all 3 brands and will take a Canon over a Kyocera or Konica every day of the week. Superior color quality, machine reliability, ease of repair, adjusting and troubleshooting.

Canon or Konica Minolta.... Kyocera is ok but color are poor and dev units will die premature.

I know each copier has different color and some are better depending on what you are used to. But some copiers have a color table for companies that like a certain copiers color. I know the Kyocera has a mode for Canon, Konica, Ricoh, Toshiba, etc. You can set it depending to the customers preferences. Have not tried it but I saw it in the color table adjustments.

For me, best color will give me OKI. They have best color! But for normal use..Canon..IR

Oki had great color but they went out of buisness here in the US.

I've worked on Canon and Kyocera. Canon is overall better between those two in my opinion.

In December Canon was in the worst shape for A3 unit shipments of all the OEM's. I haven't seen an update in the last two months so I'm not sure where they stand currently. If you are buying and renting used equipment then this wouldn't be a concern. If you are going to need new equipment maybe someone can chime in on how things are moving now.
