Upgrading C284e - Require some guidance

[schmeckles22]

I can pretty much guaranty these guys are buying wholesale for just a few bucks each. The wholesaler is not adding 1 part to these before they go out, and the re seller probably fires it up to do a test print, then a light clean..For them they are probably making a killing.

Definitely! I know this, but it was just a situation I fell into.
Just require some advise from people who have worked with the machines.

Let use know the model number also the machine will not be refurbished as the cost of the parts out costs the machine

Model No is Bizhub C284e, the serial number has been scratched off the plate! :O

So you got a C284e and you are getting the same machine

That's the problem, I am not replacing the units - I am simply replacing the entire printer
£600 they send me a new printer, It's an office recovery business which retrieve them from liquidated businesses then resell.

DR-512's are not cheap, around £250 per unit and I don't want to replace them if that's not the issue right now.
Color is a major deal for me as they are business logo prints for customers.

Would you say that dark streaks down the print would be the DR-512's? If for instance I print light colors i.e Pink, Light Grey I see the Light tone and then a slightly darker tone on it, maybe 6-7 streaks down the page.

The logic for the latest model would be cheaper repair parts and life of the unit will be much more.

Sounds like they're ripping you a new asshole on DR-512!!!...GBP to USD is $317.50!!! I just checked on Precisionroller.com:

DR-512(CMY) = $209.95 = 1 Unit, need 3.
DR-512(K) = $93.95 = 1 Unit, need 1.

SMDH!

Sounds like you're doing some shady business here.

They* I just buy the printer from the company.

The real question I should ask - Do you think a full drum unit replacement with official parts would be a good start vs a new C300i?

Your S/N will always print out on a meter sheet!!!

I will take a look when I am next to the machine, I don't know much about the printers. I simply bought it, configured it slightly and it prints for me
