This Week in Copiers Ten Years Ago
First Week of October 2013
Real Copier Sales
Most will say, argghh, it's way to complicated and I don't have the time for that. All I want to do is sell and make money or I'm sure the commission report is correct and there's no need to double check it. How about this one that was once stated to me many years ago, "we don't make mistakes with commission reports". WHAT!!

As my wife states "it's a real snooze"! Where is the sizzle? Am I missing something?

Re: Adobe PostScript vs. Emulation
All you have to do is look at the competitive analysis (See Attached) between the Ricoh C4503 and C6502 against the competitors from Canon, Xerox, and KM to see how much of a difference True Adobe PostScript makes in the printing speed. Emulation machines are noticeably slower, to the point that you could argue that a lesser Ricoh needs to be proposed in order to compare accurately.

Re: Toshiba Erasable Toner Copier
Art Post ·
ink is blue, option is $1,600 or so MSRP and also has a scanner unit in the system to archive the data before the toner is erased. There is a latent image on the paper (you really can't even see it). Good idea, however re-using the paper after it has been printed (ran through fuser), handled, marked up, and then erased. I'm thinking you won't be able to get that many clean sheets (no folds, dog ears, pen marks, wrinkles) to put back into the feeder to erase the blue toner.

While pricing out a MP C6502 system I made a huge mistake. I needed to configure the MP C6502 with GBC Stream punch and booklet maker. I did the old look at (v) and the look up the finisher, but for some reason I messed up. With the MP C6502 you can't add Ricoh's bookletmaker the SR4100 and have GBC stream punch. You have to add the huge BK5010e Plockmatic booklet maker and the SR 4110. End result is that the plockmatic added almost $10k to the deal. While Canon's C9270 can have both the Canon

The cost of PostScript on Ricoh is half of what it used to be with most models being below $300 cost to the dealer. Kyocera is an emulation......it works but it's not near as good as Ricoh's true Adobe PostScript. Jobs rip considerably slower and the image quality isn't nearly as good as the Ricoh.
