I thought Kodak told me it needs a Creo frontend. Oh well. Still looking at both. I'm hoping for Creo really because the of VDP speed. I think XMpie is already going to be purchased so software is taken care of. But thanks for the heads up gnubler

Well you might be right but I don't see why it would need both Prinergy and a Creo RIP but Kodak is pretty good at creating revenue for themselves.

Adobe is pretty good at that also.

Which flavor of XMPie are you buying -- uDirect or Personal Effect (with the servers and all)?

Pretty sure the uDirect for now but eventually plan to move to the full boat. Gotta get our feet wet and see how it all works.

Since I was ranting about our Xerox 4110, I will rave here about our KM Bizhub 6500, sure it's a couple of years old. But it blows the pants off the Xerox in reliability and copy quality. It holds color pretty darn well too, until a PM happens. I'm beginning to loathe Xerox.

We recently got a 6501 to replace our Docucolor. We loathe The Big X also.

I'm quite pleased with the BizHub, except at this moment it's declared that it's out of staples (it's not) and refuses to print anything.

Gotta love the copier reality vs. human reality. Hope you get it fixed soon.

It's fixed. Rep showed up with some staples within an hour or so. X never did that.

Whatever you get, pay attention to the environmental recommendations. I can tell you from experience with Xerox, any humidity or static electricity, and you can forget about smooth sailing with coated stock. I have to babysit the thing because of paper jams and doubles that get through. Doesn't help that the machine's in a corner with little heat or a/c and a leaky roof.
