Hi Barry,
Xerox has in fact released a replacement for the 7800. It is the VersaLink
C9000.
https://www.shop.xerox.com/versalink-c9000#specifications
The C9000 can only print to 12.6”x18” sheets using the optional two tray
module. The 7800 can do 13”x18” sheets with the optional three tray unit. The
C9000 is quite new and I have not seen it in action.
Having been running a 7800 for the last six years, I can say that you should
keep an eye on the per copy cost of prints made with printers of this class. If
you are regularly going beyond a few thousand A3 prints per month, you should
start looking for a printer in the USD 20-25 000 range which have a much lower
running cost. You will very quickly recover the difference in the initial
investment cost.
When you are at it, give Ricoh Pro CS5200s a try, besides the Canon, Xerox and
Konica-Minolta devices. It prints a surprisingly clean image.

Hello,
We’re considering replacement of our 10 year old Xerox Phaser 7800GX, but
it appears Xerox has not released an newer replacement for their 7800. We do
not use a RIP, but have made custom profiles for students to use with our
Phaser and have been very happy with it’s excellent color gamut and accuracy as
a proof printer.
With any new printer we’d prefer one with a somewhat higher print volume
and lower consumable costs. We’re looking at Canon’s imageRUNNER 5535i v3 and
were wondering if any colorsync list subscribers might have experience with one
or both of these printers and could comment on their comparative color gamuts,
reliability and ease of profiling. Canon offers a EFI Fiery RIP option, but
we’d much prefer either a 3rd party RIP or no RIP at all.
Any and all comment regarding these two printers are welcome, especially on
the issue of using a RIP or not and if so which would be preferable. Years ago
we used the imagePRINT RIP with an Epson 4800 inkjet printer and got good
results, but ultimately abandoned it because of a low level of need, high
maintenance costs and poor support.
Thanks in advance for any comment you might care to share.
