Canon C1 Imagepress

Does anyone else have one of these?
What are your impressions of it?
Speed, colour, quality?
We are very disappointed with ours, just wondering if we have a lemon or are they all as bad as ours?

can you tell me about your problems, they have just called in here to try and sell me one.

The speed is atrocious, "up to 14ppm", but in some situations only 2ppm, that is if printing on SRA3 colour double sided on 150gsm stock.
A job last week A4 colour double sided on 150gsm was only 3ppm.
We took the option of the Canon rip (couldn't afford the fiery option) and there are no colour control capabilities. If we aren't happy with it's rendition of a colour we have to go back to the InDesign file and change the colour there and then resend to the Canon.
I could go on ...

it does sounds odd to have been doing 2ppm, by any chance it would be due to your file size.

try sending it to your mailbox and print from there.
