Well this is surprisingly slow (printing)

As I griped earlier in our move from Sharp to Konica (no CSV import users) another issue arises and I bet like us you'd make the same error in judgment.

 

We've moved from the Sharp 2640n (8 yeas old) and 2651 (4 years) to the Konica Bizhub C301i.  These machines look pretty similar are the same size but are much newer... Full colour, haptic feedback 14" tablet screens.. Welp.. They're slow, I mean 1/4 the speed slow.. How are new machines this slow.. 15 second job takes a minute, you can't wait for a 100 page print, you've got to leave.. Teacher started a job of 30 double sided 2 page jobs and after 8 minutes had to leave and said they'd send a pupil up for it..

 

I don't think SLT spent a second looking at print speed and I don't think I would have stopped to compare them.. OMG, these next 3 years are going to get annoying.

Konica Bizhub C301i should be 30 ppm colour so faster than the two Sharp ones, they haven't set it to thick paper or something? as that will slow it down to half speed.

I checked this and you are correct. The old Sharps are 'only' 28PPM, I wonder if there are settings for quality involved (super draft) or something..

 

Photocopy defaults the sharps are 2.5x faster easy.. quality on both look great.
