Hello everyone.
It seems that the budget gods might finally smile enough to the extent that
my department can retire its Xerox Phaser 7700DN and purchase a new color
laser printer.
You may recall that I've posted to this list in the past regarding issues
with the old 7700. These issues revolved mainly around the management's
reluctance to bring in a color management professional and get the unruly
printer under control. Apparently one of the managers has long held the
opinion that this particular Phaser 7700 is "a lemon" and that spending any
more money towards it is a waste.
While it's groovy to think of a new color laser printer rolling in the door,
I've been advised in the past by some CM specialists that simply dropping
the dollars on something new is no guarantee that we will be any better off
in terms of having a device that is reliable, consistent, or that can be
color managed.
So I'd like to ask if anyone on this list has opinions regarding buying a
new color laser printer. As color management professionals, are there any
particular models that you have had good experiences with?
At this point, we've had recommendations from our Xerox representative
regarding the Phaser 7400DX and the 7760DX. But are there any other
manufacturers or models that might be worth investigating?
Thanks for any advice that you can offer.
