----------------------------Original message---------------------------- At Cornell University, we ran side-by-side tests with the Xerox 2510 and an Oce-Bruning 7000. Both could handle 36" wide material; both pass material quite gently over rollers; both cost about the same; both produced decent black/white copies; distortion was about the same. I would not put fragile material through these machines without protecting it with mylar. Anything valuable would not be reproduced using these machines. My administrators finally selected the Oce-Bruning because their sales people tried harder. It is being run from the Library copy centre which is staffed. Prices are about the same as commercial printing stores in town - but we are more convenient. Student response to our new machine is enthusiastic - especially our Architecture and City & Regional Planning people. Susan Greaves Map Collection - Olin Library Cornell University
