BuyerZone user comments: color copier purchasing requirements

"I currently use an ImageRunner 3200. It still works fine, but my service representative has been trying to get me to purchase a new copier. My biggest concern is cost/page. If I could get a trade in that would be my preference. (It currently has just under 541,000 copies, has duplex and booklet maker). As far as I'm concerned it doesn't HAVE to be a copier, a networked printer is fine."

"I'm looking to get away from Xerox at this time, I have I-Gens(3), and docutechs(4). I am interested in Canon's imagePress 7000VP and the finishing options. I would like to get retail price lists of these and comparable machines to start with. I just took over and do not like being so reliant on one vendor, who in my opinion isn't reliable. I am at my research stage right now and am having a hard time finding this information without getting involved with sales reps."
