The Week in Copiers Ten Years Ago
First Week of February 2011
Who remembers these funky colored Panasonic copiers? If I remember correctly it was a few years after the launch of this copier that Panasonic folded the tent. I would tend to think that after seeing a demonstration of this copier the colors would stick in the buyers mind. However we all know smoke and mirrors don't work, it's all about the excellent support and service we provide!

I am one of those. I'd be shocked if Canon continues the Océ name in the US. I have represented Océ products for over 17 years and while I can say without a doubt they are some of the best machines made, I've never had a customer choose the "Océ" name over others. To clarify, they choose the Océ PRODUCT, but not the name. I imagine most dedicated Océ customers would be thrilled to buy the product from a Canon direct outlet.

There are 3 Canon dealers of size in the Dallas market, & at least one of them is in virtually every deal.

Those 3 dealers probably do $50mm-$65mm per year, & there's also a CBS branch here. Canon does a lot of business in DFW.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the low, low, prices some people have seen from RBS are not below "cost". They may be below the price Ricoh sells them to you, but as long as they are at or above the actual production cost, there's not a legal issue. Also, it seems that the only entity that could file a claim against "Dumping" would be a manufacturer of the same product. In the example you posted, it was apple juice. To make a similar claim for MFPs, we'd need to find a domestic
