blueprint copier advice?

bryan_14

Has anyone recently purchased or have any recommendations on blueprint copiers (some have recommended the new ones that also scan)? We currently have a single sheet fed Xerox that they are no longer making parts for and would like to get a replacement for it. It was originally purchased used (or "pre-owned")and has served it's purpose well. We mostly copy projects smaller than 10 sheets in 3 copies. And i understand that most newer machines use the roll fed type paper. Thanks in advance for any advice!

we have a

xerox 3001 that is about 2 years old. it is sheet fed and accepts up to 36" wide paper. i think it is the bottom of the barrel for copiers but we don't copy all that often. it is easy to use and haven't had a problem with it yet.

After we looked into getting one...

We found the cost of paper, room it took, chemicals, maintenance and variety of sizes we wanted to copy to be such a hassle, we found our local copy and print shop had a 48" bed that would copy anything. They bang us 2-5 bucks a pop - depending on size, volume and the amount of time it takes them to setup some of the rags we bring in that must be placed in a "carrier/taxi".

Find a small print shop

I have a local print shop I go to and they charge me a couple bucks a copy and less if I can drop off and pick up another day. An added benefit is all the cool drafting supplies they use that I play with while I am waiting.......

That reminds me of a funny story. I went to get my teeth cleaned a few weeks ago and as usual when I am left alone in the room with all those cool gadgets I can't help myself. So there was this water spritzer there and after using it to obliterate an ant I saw crawling on the carpet, I ran an experiment... does the suction tool have enough suction to recieve the output of the spritzer gun? The result of the experiment? Non conclusive..... as soon as I got the experiment started a cute dental assistant walked in. Of course my immediate attention went her way as I inadvertantly aimed the water spitzer at my face and proceeded to soak myself. Real smooth huh....

Xerox 2510

I have a Xerox 2510 that I have used for a the last 5 years, now that I am converting to plotters for my radiant layouts, I no longer need the copier. It's available for a really low price if anyone needs one.
