      We already have our large printer/ copier as managed via Konica Minolta. Our rep suggested the KM bizhub c3350, out right to buy is $1700...

      I refuse to recommend Konica. Ever seen their website for drivers, etc? I do not like them.

        Beat me to it.

        Stick with Canon and Xerox. I've had the best success with them.

        Be careful with Xerox's new wax ink block ones, make sure they explain to your staff that bumping the copier = major maintenance.

          Both of those brands are pretty expensive to maintain. For SMB, I like Brother. Once you start talking enterprise units, I like HP a lot. Canon isn't horrible but again, very expensive consumables.

            Absolutely! Make sure you do your research, these were spec'd for very high volume locations (one copier was 2mil+ yearly)

              Yup. Never take the vendor's word at face value.

                We had a Toshiba before our current Konica - man the Toshiba was a total POS, but this Konica MFP has been pretty good and service has been fantastic.

                  Yeah, the fact that Toshiba made/makes printers blows my mind. I just don't thinking printing when I hear Toshiba.

                    And my experience with Toshiba printers was less than impressive.

                      We have a great Konica press-quality printer, it has amazing quality but we have to have the maintenance guy come in every 2-3 weeks to do re-alignment/repairs. During our busy season he is in every 2-3 days... I don't know how they are making money on that support contract. It does a fantastic job printing though...

                      Our general office MFPs are all Sharps through the same company. Two of them we own outright with a maintenance agreement, the third is still under lease. We see that maintenance guy once every six months or longer.

                        From talking to other colleagues this happens across all vendors - I'd say we have Konica out every 4-6 weeks to work on something, though this rarely means downtime. It's much better than the near weekly visits from Toshiba (and the Toshiba was offline 1 day in ten while we had it).

                        Our desktop MFPs, Laniers, have a normal volume around 10K/month. They see service about every 4-6 months.
