I believe it was the late spring of this year when KIP released their new C700 series color wide format devices. The release was massive with the launch of 12 new color models. The models consisted of five print only color devices, five color MFPs and two color production devices. Indeed it was quite the roll out and I'm still trying to get familiar with each device.
Tonight I'll focus on what I like with the C780 when compared to other wide format devices.
The KIP C780 is a multifunctional device that will print, scan and copy in color.
1) Print Speed- Eight "D" size pages per minute in black or 6 "D" size color per minute. Hourly print for black is 480 and 360 for color. LED (Light Emitting Diodes) print technology.
2) Dry Toner- Four color process Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. What I like best is that our clients can mark up drawings with highlighters and they don't have to worry about smearing the image (the use of highlighters with ink based prints will cause the image to smear).
3) Quality Prints When You Need Them- In some cases our clients don't always need to print drawings or bid sets everyday. LED print engines allow you to get a perfect print even if the device has not been used in days or weeks. COVID 19 taught us a lesson that ink jet devices can't go un-used. When ink jet devices are un-used for periods of time users will experience streaks on the images and users will need to clean and or purge the print heads (terrible waste of ink and money). In many cases we also saw the failure of print heads that resulting in thousands of dollars in repairs.
4) Stack and Fold- Let's face it, most standard exit trays are just that standard and nothing special. If you're a fan of nothing special the C780 will stack 200 "D" Size pages out of the box.
KIP offers a 700 sheet stacker (KIP 900 series stacker) as an option that integrates with the C780. This means with both devices communicating with each other the possibility of misfeeds and awkward stacking is eliminated.
When it comes to LED color print technology KIP is the only manufacturer that offers in-line folding. Prints are folded allowing for easy document filing and distribution in portrait format, to portrait packets.
5) Operating Cost- Without a doubt the KIP C780 offers the lowest cost for toner (consumable) in the industry for wide format print devices.
We all know how expensive ink is.....whether it's HP, Canon or Epson....
Special thanx to KIP CCtechnology which improves toner yields.
