just curious.

What are you going to use the printer for?
- high quality magazine brochure type?

Quantity print per day?

Phaser doesn't ship from Amazon to SG to the huge box size and weight.

mainly product brouchure, on adhoc basis.

Use forwarder lar, cost less than $300 to ship. Phaser 6700 cost $3-4K and amazon cost less than $1.5K. I can buy 2 for redundancy and double the capacity lo...

Another model to consider is HP M551DN.... half the price of Phaser 6700...

The sources are mostly photoshop or illustrator, on Mac, is FX Phaser 6700 more compatible?

To be honest, I don't think the savings will be that incentive, since there will be no warranty, and that's important

Furthermore, government PIC grant should get a 100%

You can opt for installment plan from fuji Xerox directly

If you are going for those type of professional brochures, I think you should be looking at an entire different range


Graphic Communications Production - Fuji Xerox Singapore

Note: sorting / folding machine doesn't fall into PIC grant

What does this got to do with PIC? I maxed out $100K this year long time ago, so the printer is its full price.

Production machine is quite ex, now trying to compare the output and see if it's worth the extra cost.....

i think u should try contact xerox or cannon (if volume are huge) to see what they can offer you or do you have any budget in mind?

I think now the option is either going for production machine , the versant 80 which is 10-bit color depth seems interesting, or just whack a CP305d first.

The CP305d , although only 600x600dpi, is a 4-bit color depth machine.

Canon seems to have something similar but never mentioned the color depth, at higher price :(

With compatible toner, I can reduce full color cost to less than 2 cents per page :D

Get either HP or FX, then any hardware issues just call for onsite.

Try to get a xerox laser color using toner, not phaser (solid ink).

Longest warranty i believe of 4years
Among the cheapest across the same range.
Best image quality

Its very expensive to print brochure using colour laser. This is because toner is expensive (even though printer is cheap). If you need to print in bulk, recommend you to get a printing company to print for you instead.

taobao toner is damn cheap, less than 2 cents per page....

Phaser is the laser printer range for xerox. Only one particular model is solid ink. I am actually looking at Phaser 7800 GX for long term use..... Here not available leh.... must import from Amazon.

Seems like nobody is using Phaser 7800GX, does FX has a showroom for their Phaser series printers ?
