Hello to all,
First, I'd like thank those who have shared their advice in response
to my last set of questions: Scott Martin, Karsten Kruger, and Brian
Lawler. Your comments have been a tremendous help during this
process. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Second, the funding has been approved to actually purchase a new
device; and the research task has fallen to me. Naturally there has
been a small flurry of vendors wanting to make proposals — which has
led to the following short list of recommended printers. If it's not
too much trouble, I would appreciate anyone's comments if they have
knowledge or experience with any of the following candidates from a
color management, quality, or reliability standpoint.
Option 1) Xerox Phaser 7760/DX. New, out of the box, and
accompanied by PhaserMatch 4.0. Naturally, I plan on lobbying to have
it professionally color-managed.
Option 2) Ricoh MP C2500 New/w embedded RIP
Option 3) Canon ImagePress C1 New with options for a T1 imagePRESS
Server /w command workstation or Q1 imagePRESS Server /w command
workstation
Option 4) IKON CPP 550 New with options for a Fiery embedded
controller /w command workstation or a Fiery PRO80 controller /w
command workstation
Options 3 and 4 seem to be a little overkill to me because I've seen
them both billed as being digital presses. Since we aren't a print-
for-profit department, I'm not convinced at this point that the
expense of leasing these devices is justifiable in relation to the
kind of work that we do here.
Currently, with the information that I have, a color-managed Phaser
7760 seems to be the most logical choice.
Thanks for your patience and support.
-Dean
