Copystar CS 1505
You wouldn’t expect a copier like this to be in a draughtsman’s office, but there was one in the office I work in. It sat in the corner, the Copystar CS-1505. It wasn’t used to reproduce the drafts, but it was used for everything else. My boss like it because it was cheap to buy, cheap to run and never broke down.
The design isn’t the most cutting edge you will ever see, but it is one of the most reliable and hassle free. The lid lifts up to reveal the platen. The lid can also work as a document feeder if you have the option, which is a nice relief when I have to copy multiple sheets. The manual duplexer also makes light work of anything I throw at it, and while it isn’t an automatic one like on some of the newer machines I have used, this is as solid and dependable as you can get.
Copy quality is very good. It is a mono copier, but we don’t really use color all that much. We use it to produce internal documentation as well as invoices, and general letters. The boss like to keep a copy of absolutely everything, so there is plenty of work for the CS-1505 to do. Text is very clear, there is no toner spill anywhere, the only ink on the page is where the letters are. The rest of the sheet always remains perfectly clear. Sometimes we have to copy oversized text, which can cause problems for some copiers. Not so with this one. The letters are all black, the edges all straight and good looking overall.
Copying photos or documents that contain photos has always been a bit hit and miss with laser copiers. This copier manages them okay. They can be a little low on detail sometimes, but there isn’t the bad shading or bands that appears on some. I think that copying any kind of document works well with this machine, and at 15 pages a minute copying speed doesn’t keep us hanging around too much either.
If you want something solid and dependable in your office the CS-1505 is a good place to start. It does everything a copier should, as well as a good copier should and have given us no problems in over a year. Toner is easy to acquire and replace and is enough to print up to 7000 pages. I like it because it’s simple and works well and the boss likes it because it’s cheap. A great combination.
