PhotographyMatters Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Yes I have a QD21, very versatile but amazingly unreliable. Paper Jams being the worse. Would like to hear what other experiences have been. Also would be interested in buying spare paper magazines if anyone has some to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photosonthespot Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 There's a photo store chain in (alteast Eastern) Canada called Japan Camera. Most of them have Konica labs. I know a manager who dumped his Noritsu 2701 and bought a Konica instead. He complains about the paper jams .. he is unhappy he switched but head office kind of pushed him into it (according to what he claims) I'm not trying to change your opinion, just expressing mine. I'm a NORITSU lab. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evgeniy Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 2abbeyphoto We work on R1 1400 two years. Certainly there is what to not like.At First - linearity of an exposition. This reason of shift on an axis of drawing of the image. It is adjusted by a manual mechanical method. In laboratories with a laser exposition this process is more convenient and easier. At Second - not so good stability.Especially appreciablly, at a seal of black-and-white prints. There were problems, sometimes continue to arise, with calibration of an exposition head.To work simply and conveniently. Quality competitive with noritsu 3001,near is beside such competitor from kodak.It is simple and accessible.There can be I too exacting :-/. Think and decide. All depends on your needs and your requirements.There has come time to buy one more laboratory. I too am at a loss in a choice - R3 or noritsu 3201.Probably again we shall prefer konica minolta.
