| 373679 | 2005-07-20 00:31:00 | Looking at replacing our Canon photocopier. The options are a Canon iR 2270 at $6406 ($7425 with a network card) or a Konica/Minolta 7222 with network $6885. Includes auto document feed. Service contract 1.5/1.65c per copy. Decisions decisions. I'm biased towards Canon but...... Other people seem to be equally happy with either brand. Any thoughts? |

| 373680 | 2005-07-20 02:43:00 | I could write pages on why I (in another life) did choose one over the other, stories of abysmal service and corporate arrogance would feature large. But I won't. But if you PM or email me I will do it off-line..... |

| 373681 | 2005-07-20 04:29:00 | We recently (a couple of months ago) aquired a Kyocera-Mita KM4030 at work . Have had no problems with it, and the A3 scanning to email is fantastic . LDAP intergration, so I don't have to add users to the copier by hand just makes it . I can't comment on the other two you mentioned as I havn't used them . -Qyiet |

| 373685 | 2005-07-20 07:00:00 | I'd be interested to know what you go for in the end and why. Cheers |

| 373686 | 2005-07-20 07:01:00 | I've been impressed by the Konica photocopiers I've seen so far. At least they seem to keep up with drivers (particulary with OS X for example). The service from the Ubix (they are called something else) seemed pretty good too - they would happily go around and install the drivers for you. |

Any thoughts? So can I ask what your use's are? Ask each company to put each model in for a weeks trial . . . Canon do great high end digital printer's |

| 373688 | 2005-07-21 02:18:00 | Good idea Plod. At this point the nice Canon man is going to deliver a secondhand 2220 with network for us to try out. Basically we do about 2500 copies a month. Low use given the capabilities of modern machines. Just documents mainly. Auto feed is the best thing since sliced bread. The network ability while costing $1000 more interests me. But on the other hand what would a good quality laser printer cost now anyway? The scanner is only usable for a PC if networked. And I'll have to climb in the ceiling and make holes to install the cable. :groan: Also we currently use an HP 6L with two drawers - one for paper and the other for envelopes. Can't do that with a laser copier - or not easily. |
