I was an engineer on the 1005 in the north of England mid to late 80s I think, lead to digital colour training on the digital machines.
I was the 1005 color copier program manager. Xerox was a great company, have many good memories of those days.
The 1005 color copier was short lived in the US market. The superior image quality and reliability of LASER imaging was just around the corner. It was developed in Japan where it was available for a couple of years prior to it’s launch in the US.
Although it retained light imaging, it was a significant improvement over the 13 year old 6500. Especially innovative yet simple in concept was the non bouncing/non moving developer housings, as compared to the bouncing/moving and problematic 6500 housings.
In Sweden it was killed by the Canon laser ecuiped machine. The 1005 had me working color machines three times.First,only and last.Spent hours on callibraiting color with poor equipments and tools.
Jon Heckman was my Instructor on the 6500. The first product I was trained on. So long ago, He awarded me an E Award for completing the Basic Electronics Course over the same class period. I had zero experience and he was teaching solo. I lasted over 45 years, 12 in El Segundo as the Color & Printing Systems Specialist.
Thank you for such a great experience Jon, you were the best!
