Plotworks batch printing issue (help)

So, I have a customer coming from plotbase and the 480W. He had the .dwg option with the plotbase controller. In order to batch print a set of .dwg's with Plotbase, they would send the drawings to the plotbase server and then merge them on the server and the print off sets . They were not using the ratio plotclient. We've now installed plotoworks and my SE is telling them that they must .pdf every drawing and then gather them in plotworks client to batch print sets.

I just had a customer complain about this, he said if you dont follow the load instructions EXACTLY as the machine tells you, it's very tough. So is any customer with one of these units happy, we just had to replace a whole machine, not even Ricoh could fix it!

The only service calls I have had on the MPCW2200's has been for loading paper. The issue people have is the edge feeding into the printer needs to be straight and square otherwise it will fail to load. The other issue that causes this is the spools being too tight to the sides of the roll of paper. I think this is a good machine. I would rather it had a drawer and catch trays like the black and white machines have but I am sure that would be more money and it seems like all the colors machines

Re: Question for those who work at multi-line Dealers

We are a Canon, Savin, Samsung, and HP Dealer. We now push Canon 90% of the time. Can't beat the reliability of them. We just got rid of Kyocera about 6 months ago. I am surprised at the people who said the quality was good. We had nothing but issues with the machines from day 1 and the support from Kyocera was less than desirable.

That was our experience with Kyocera as well and why we left them for Samsung as our second line. Our primary is Ricoh and the Samsung is a great compliment to Ricoh as they give you similar speeds and feeds at a much lower price to the customer. For the low volume customer who still wants the features without the hefty price of a Ricoh the Samsung is the perfect fit. Samsung has some features I wish Ricoh had by the way. One other problem with Kyocera was the pricing made selling a Ricoh

Hi Art. Do you have access to an environmental calculator? i.e. Plugging in their current units and comparing them against your proposed units and getting a break down of the "environmental" savings (CO2 emmissions, Kilowatt hours, Energy savings, trees saved, etc.)

Leaving production units out of the mix, is the time right for manufacturers to only offer color systems?

While driving today, I thought about how many color systems I've sold in the last six months compared to black systems. Thus I went back to the aficio league and counted the numbers. Seventy five percent of my sales were for color. This included production units as well. We've never seen as many models in the industry as we have now, have a complete line up of A4 color, A4 color, A3 color and A4 black systems. A look at Ricoh's lineup and we'll see 9 color A3 systems but only 3 different boxes

Anyone have issues loading paper in the CW2200? Paper goes thru the loadcycle and rewinds back out of the machine before it is suppose to cut. But not all the time. Very frustrating.,
