KM bizhub C250i - C360i printing heavy papers in the graphic market
Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate to know your market feedback experience with the C250i - C360i series regarding acceptance for print quality using papers from 200gr/m2 up to 300gr/m2. Particularly in those customers in the graphic segment (flyers, line art, photos) that perhaps are trying to upgrade from previous KM models like C284e / C308.

Probably Not a good move.
A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

The problem is Konica Minolta was making overall great color machines last 3-4 generations prior i-series.
Some customers are making advantages on this using them as kinda semi pro machines. With today's technology machines can be even better if manufacturers want which I believe they really DON'T(read as economies and making more $$$).

Many thanks for your time.
I have not noticed any significant colour quality difference in the i series to previous models.
The engine design is still pretty much the same, drum, dev transfer fuser etc.
But if you have access to one put them side by side & compare print samples from each.
Let us eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow we may die!

Office machines are still business color, adding the Fiery does not extend the color gamut they are able to reproduce. The machine can work with these media types, but it is 1st a plain paper copier. Anything out side that and you will not be happy. E

This pdf explains the "improvements" from the 4e series to the i Series as it pertains to printing
Agree that a Fiery is a must but these boxes are still a bit squirrely in my opinion so I could not recommend these units for a production environment. KM 4e vs i Series Color Reproduction.pdf

A customer with C224 100k colour prints and worn drums (and belt) asks for a new machine.
I said that repairing C224 is much more worth it, and he didn't believe me. I made a demo page prjntout on new C300i and was worse than the same printed on his C224 with heavily worn drums (for graphics use).

+1. Completely agree.

+3 For the most part, we a selling mostly lightly used 8 series color machines and some new Kyocera. The color on the i series is not on par with the previous generations. With supply line issues, getting new machines in complete is also pretty hard which makes selling used colors even more relevant right now. However, the prices on used equipment have gone up because of this demand.
