KIP 1030

Think you have seen this little wonder before but just can quite place it? Surprise, this is the same unit successfully marketed by Oce' as the 7000. Oce' needed a machine to combat the 2510 from Xerox and at that time was not inclined to develop it internally so they went to KAT in Japan (read KIP/Shacoh) and private labeled the KAT product under an exclusive US marketing agreement. When Oce' brought out their 7050 series, they discontinued the 7000 - 1030 and KAT turned the product over to KIP-Shacoh USA. The machine is a good low end entry that competes successfully against the Xerox 2510 and 2515. It does have an OPC (Organic Photoreceptor) which gives better image quality than the Xerox selenium drum machines. Our experience is that the Kip 1030 engineering copier requires a higher level of maintenance than would normally be expected of a low volume machine.

KIP 1880

The KIP 1880 is a one roll, multi-copy system that makes one to nine copies automatically by re-circulate the original. The 1880 uses a mono-component toner system and delivers the most "bang for the buck" in the market today for analog, multi-copy machines.

KIP 2400

Wow, talk about a big sheet fed engineering copier, this is it. The relatively small Kip 2400 is capable of producing up to 285 "D" Size bond paper copies per hour. It looks and works just like a standard letter-legal office copier. This should make it a hit for engineering and architectural firms who need to produce large quantities of high quality print sets, automatically. A sorter-collator is available for this unit which will substantially enhance its marketability.

KIP 3400

The Kip 3400 engineering plotter is not really KIP's finest hour. This three roll unit is rumored to be plagued with roll feed problems. At the very least, the copy delivery system located at the bottom of the machine was poorly thought out. A two roll "little brother" to the 3400 was marketed by Oce' as the 7150.

KIP 3610

The KIP 3610 engineering copier is in many ways the historical grandfather of the hugely successful KIP 1800 - 1880 copier family. This one roll, multi-copy machine used a selenium photoreceptor and was capable of producing up to nine copies of an original, automatically. This feature made it very popular with the blueprint shops, FM's (Facilities Management In plant shops), and in plant reprographic departments. Technology and the high cost of photoreceptors (drums) have consigned this old war horse to the corners and back rooms of the large document business, but for it's time, it was a formidable controller.

KIP 3800

Introduced initially as a stand alone scan to print machine, the addition of the DSS-1 controller made the 3800 a ground breaking multifunction (scan to print, plot and scan to file) engineering copier. With the addition of the DSS-1 Controller, the customer retained all of the benefits of the 3800 as an engineering copier and gained the ability to network the machine for use as a high speed, large document plotter. Documents can be scanned to the hard disk of the controller or to optical storage for archival purposes and immediate recall for printing. This system became the industry blueprint for all of the connected products that have followed.
The KIP 3800 multipurpsose engineering printer was the first of the true 36 inch digital boxes. Truly a harbinger of things to come. The 3800 was initially introduced as a digital stand alone scan to print machine. With its 400 dpi (dots per inch) scanner and 400 dpi printer, the unit was capable of producing extremely high quality output in a compact, easy to use package. Its ability to reproduce solid blacks made it an immediate hit with the legal exhibits, mapping and geophysical industry. The emergence of "digital" as the standard of reference for the large document industry will be historically charted as beginning with the introduction of this copier. It is the well from which all of the rest must trace their origins. The 3800's slow speed and lack of effective connectivity for the first eighteen months of product life hampered sales and initial broad acceptance.

KIP 7060

The KIP 7060 was introduced as a cost effective, high speed alternative to the Xerox 3080. People liked the 7060 The KIP 7070 has all of the neat features and positive attributes of the 7060 with a redesigned fuser station which eliminates the 7060's expensive habit of eating fuser belts. If you are looking for a cost effective, high speed, size for size, analog alternative to sky high prices on digital hardware this is it.it used a fuser belt as opposed to the 3080's strobe type fuser which many people found objectionable. The unit's small footprint and simplicity were positive features. Unfortunately the 7060 tends to "eat" fuser belts which become misaligned quite easily and are very expensive to replace.

KIP 920

Shacoh's "cost effective" alternative to the Xerox 2080. Manufactured by Diato, the 920 engineering copier gave the industry a low cost, single copy, 36 inch output, but the machine itself was hampered by fixed reduction steps in place of the 2080's zoom lens. Xerox effectively countered the 920 with its huge nationwide sales and service organizations.

KIP DP-36

KIP Mark II

Designed to give the Xerox 2080 a run for the money. The Mark II contained ground breaking innovations like high speed, 36 inch output, and a unique backlight system which provided lighting from behind the original to enhance line work as well as increase the operator's ability to restore old damaged drawings. In today's digital world the Mark II is a dinosaur, but in yesterday's analog world it was state of the art.

KIP Screen 36

A multi-copy progression from the Mark II, the Screen 36 was capable of making up to 99 copies of the same 36 inch wide original at twenty feet per minute. The quality of the output product was unparalleled. This unit gave the Xerox 5080 a run for the money but was beaten by Xerox's larger sales force and true nationwide service force.
