Hi,
We are currently going through the wonderful task of renegotiating our photocopier contract around our reprographics dept and tasked with making efficiency savings as well. We have been with Xerox forever, currently running a 4112, 4127 monos for everyday work such as worksheets, exam booklets and a 560 for our specialist work such as prospectuses, flyers, postcards etc.
While the kit has been good (4127,4112 are showing their age now from a 5 year contract, heavy use and now have regular call outs) the service hasn't been the greatest and Xerox are currently dragging their feet over presenting us with new costs, recommended hardware etc. (spent 3 weeks chasing and nothing but excuses).
We have been looking at alternatives from local companies who are recommending:
Sharp: MXM1204FK and MX6500NFK
Konica (Develop): Ineo +454e and Ineo + 1070e
Ricoh: Ricoh Pro 8110s and Ricoh Pro 5100s
Does anyone have any experience with these machines? While we want to get a good deal we don't want to compromise reliability over costs.
