Re: Printing Strategies

I'm very interested in hearing about Xerox MFP's as well. I'm currently re=
viewing Xerox vs Canon vs HP color MFP/document production type machines fo=
r a rollout this summer. Those Konica/Minolta's do look interesting though=
..

Thanks

For those schools using BizHubs or Xerox MFP's, I would love to read your
reviews and impressions of the machines.

We're currently in the process of evaluating Xerox, Ricoh, and
Konica/Minolta options. While I like the environmentally friendly features
of the Xerox ColorQube, there are other aspects of the technology that soun=
d
a little "too good to be true". Ricoh - nothing to really write home
about... I am leaning more toward the BizHubs. Specifically, the C652.

I appreciate all insight anyone can provide.

Thanks in advance.
