If you have small or weak hands, call for help or take smaller stacks. Tray B easily stacks neatly 30-40 cm of paper. All the automatic adjustments have frequency settings, general and/or paper defined. I guess that without the "speed brakes" color quality would have to suffer. It prints fast, makes color adjustments after a number of pages, makes a transfer belt refresh after another number of pages, cleans the fusing rollers and in between it prints fast. The productivity is good, maybe not "80 ppm" as advertised, but good. The BW click charge on my office machine is a little better.Ħ) Productivity. I bought it at a discount being a trade show machine. The click price lets me be competitive within 250-300 copies. The banner printing option (330x762mm) is not available for me it is only for the By-pass tray with no finisher ! If they can make an attachment to feed 330 x 900 mm I will buy that in a heartbeat. It can't print double sided on paper heavier than 300gsm or stiff media I do this manually. The printed paper has no curl (or it can be easily adjusted). If the cut is precise (for the offset paper), the paper is correctly entered in the machine, it wasn't damaged and the tray blowers are at Max you will not have paper jams. I printed on media for digital and for offset. It comes with an envelope attachment and a tab feeding attachment for the small trays. I printed envelopes (80, 120, 140 gsm) in DL, C5, C6 formats with good results. The sounds from inside of the machine are painful. I printed on ~400 microns textured paper from the B1 Deck, and it works. If I have an important job, I take 5 minutes before the print to make sure the print is within my (strict) tolerances.Ĥ) Paper feeding. If I would have done it all I am sure it can be made to match 100%. As I use a large variety of papers I didn't do all of the above.
Alignment trough-out the jobs is identical, no significant or observable shifts. The drawers were adjusted (took 3h for the servicemen), each paper type can have a particular image positioning and scaling, each tray can have its own alignment, image shift from EFI Command Workstation. It is true, it the machine can be adjusted (hardware + menus + software) to come within these tight tolerances.

The specs say duplex registration precision should be <1 mm. it's not a nice way to do business ! The machine is supplied with an expensive gray-scale chart one can use in conjuncture with the scanner to achieve neutral grays in custom profiles.ģ) Page Registration. Spot color matching in CW is licensed only for EFI i1 Pro2 and therefore doesn't work with my X-Rite Pro2. Anyway: red is red (not orange) and blue is blue (not plum). I created my own (just one) profile and have good results on all thicknesses of glossy and matte coated media. The coated media profiles are crap ! I had the same green tint. I won't go into details here, but on plain and uncoated media you can use the provided profiles and create your own profile after combining the apropiate profile with the specific paper linearization. The printer profiles provided with the printed are very good, except those for the coated media. Color Consistancy is bad with "maximum density" ON from the CW print menu.Ģ) Color Accuracy. I had 3 firmware changes until now and this problem seems to be hardware related (my opinion). It can, on some colors/tones, have visible small banding for me it's OK. This can be corrected with some menu tweeks. I have to mention that on some thin stocks the back side may have a small color difference when compared to the front. This behaivior is consistent independent of the paper type, size and coating. Linearization was used for the specific media before each job. The same job printed days later had the same colors as the previous job. I printed jobs with ~2000 A3 pages duplex and the color was perfect and the same trough-out the lenght of the job. I will not compare with this either because the C800 is in a different league.ġ) Color Consistency. My previous printing machine was an ImageRunner C5030i. I haven't seen prints done with the competing machines and because of this I wil not make any comparison. My configuration is: Fiery F200 server, Multi-Drawer Paper Deck B1 with double feed detection, Saddle Finisher-AM2 and the X-rite Publisher i1 Pro2. I have the ImagePress C800 and I'm pleased with it. Small personal review of Canon ImagePress C800 / C700 / C60
