Cedric:
I'm running Xerox DC-12s and Xerox/Phaser 7700s (and a load of inkjets).
The 7700 is great as long as an operator keeps his eyes on it, checking for
color drift a couple of times a day and re-calibrating to neutrals. It's
pretty much a manual process with lots of eyeballing color, though you can
setup a workflow that uses densitometer readings to help keep
re-calibration fairly consistent. But it still ends up being subjective
rather than objective.
The DC-12 on the other hand is pretty much automated. You can re-calibrate
off the glass and keep everything within 2-3 dE all the time. You can also
attach a densitometer for even better calibration, though I have been
unable to see any noticeable visual difference. And if the end-user can't
see the difference why waste the time & money? The prints I'm making today
can't be distinguished from the ones made months ago.
The DC12 is a LOT more expensive, but this is one case where you get what
you pay for. That said, I would still want to test every other laser
printer I could get my hands on before signing that lease. But from my
personal experience the DC12 has given good, consistent color and reliable
mechanical service.
