Fuji Xerox Apeos C325z
MPN: C325z6 reviews
WOrst printer EVER. For the following reasons Scanner driver on the netwrok never works The ink runs out super quick, is expensive and always has density issues It does not priunt black and white when a colour runs out. Always makes weird noises randomly DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER Show details
Best printer that I have ever had! Very good quality, quiet, and fast. It dramatically improved my productivity. Consumables are cheaper in the long run also. I have had many lower priced noisier multifunction printers in the past. Decided to try a different brand. Very happy! Show details
The most irritating device I have ever owned. Struggles to maintain basic operations. An ordeal to connec. Avoid like you would the plague Show details
Fujifilm Apeos C325z - sadly unreliable Fujifilm poor service – Printer started having toner cartridge errors after I replaced the starter cartridge with original full ones (9 months in). Then yellow banding. Took it to the distributor who vacuumed out a pile of yellow toner from the guts of the machine (and feed trays). Bought a new yellow cartridge and waste cartridge. Worked okay for a few months, then… Read more
the same issues started up. Yellow toner everywhere, bad smell. Stuck with B/W for 9 months, but then it simply wouldn't work without another yellow cartridge. Hit the distributor again, who just vacuumed it out and sold me another cartridge. Contacted Fujifilm who simply said it was now out of warranty. Wouldn't stand behind their product though it was clearly not fit for purpose. With all the money I've blown I could have bought three cheaper laser printers. Update about 18 months later: so I decided to buy another one of the same printers so as to use the $900 worth of printer cartridges the dealer had persuaded me to try. Kept the old one in the roof space as spare parts. Worked well till this month - big grinding noise in the back of it and every page got stuck during printing. Luckily THIS time I bought extra warranty. Fujifilm guy came next business day and replaced the entire fuser unit, because a little C-shaped spacer that acts as a bearing had worn out/dropped out. Told me this happens a lot randomly with these machines. So who knows how much more life I'll get? Do I buy another set of really expensive toner cartridges? I suppose only if the fuser goes again before the warranty runs out. Overall - in theory a good machine, in practice bad.
Quality & Compact Printer – I rang a number of authourised Fujifilm resellers and repairers, and all gave top marks to this printer. It seems to be a very well made, well regarded printer, with very few returns coming back to service centres for repair afyter a few years of sales. I was unsure about spending almost $1k on a printer, but I was sick of throwing out cheap laser… Read more · 1
jets that would fail / inkjets block up after a few years. Really bad for the environment and also bad for the pocket.
This is an entry level MFP, but it seems to me a fairly high quality unit. Every time I talk to my specialist printer retailer, he comforts me by saying I should not have any problems, and of the many units he has sold, reliability has been a hallmark. I am sure they are not perfect, but with a 2yr warranty and always using the right consumables I have high hopes of this being a long lasting printer that will be with me for many years to come.
I have owed the unit for app 9 months,, and probably print a page or 2 each day, occassionally printing much larger insurance company pdf's or similar that are 50 - 100 pages. Consumables are half price if bought through an authourised Fujifilm reseller/specialist, which makes buying the ink (which otherwise costs a bomb) about $100 per cartridge. Not cheap, but it is powder prints 1000+ pgs,, wont block over time like the liquid inkjets are prone to do, and is going keep my warranty ship shape by using the correct ink. A repairer strongly advised me to avoid 3rd party toner, given his past experience in fixing faulty printers where discount toner had been used. I just dont want trouble, so took his advice.
Still early days but the constant good reviews I got from Fuji repairers and resellers re this product gave me some confidence to buy. Being one of the most compact MFP swayed my decision to this product also. So far so good and being a Japanese company, quality is usually a given. I hope so.
Worst printer i have ever seen – Plagued with issues. Started off ok, print quality slowly deteriorating as the year went on. after first 2 months toner waste box was full, im like WTH? replaced with new one, worked again for another few months, wanted another toner waster box. After 9 months it stopped working and made grinding noises with only 2100 printed pages. print… Read more
quality had deteriorated to around 50% darkness as well, and colour was awful. rang up for warranty work, took 3 months to get it fixed as parts had to be ordered in. parts arrived, replaced, still didnt work, more parts had to be ordered, another couple weeks wait. eventually got it working 4 months after it stopped. worked for a few weeks and toners needed replacing, got new ones put them in, worked one week and said waste toner box full again, got new toner waste box, says toner box still full. rang up complaining again, out of warranty they say, didnt want to fix under warranty and said there would be a service charge. Bin job, this printer is an absolute lemon, dont get one.
