The Week in Copiers Ten Years Ago 3rd Week in November
Some may ask how will our industry grow after COVID19? There's some naysayers proclaiming that our industry is doomed and it will never be like it was. Personally I think the pandemic has allowed us to reset and rethink our industry. I believe the next 5 years will be the best we've had in 10 years.

We tried to order a Lanier LD533c (MP C3300) and were told that that the product has been discontinued. Has anyone seen pricing on the new models and Lanier model #'s for this series? The order was placed 2 weeks ago, and Ricoh just now told us that we can't get the product. As you can imagine, the customer is getting antsy, but we can't even re-sign the lease for the new model since Ricoh says info will be released this Friday.

Just looking for the dollar amounts. Got em now, thanks. Ricoh increases MSRP with every new generation, so maybe this one is justified with the new standard security features. In the end, the new model's 8-10% higher prices will be more like 2-3 on the street level.
