This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago (Second Week of April 2007)

. “Konica Minolta has experienced phenomenal market share growth in the light- to mid- production print market with our award-winning product line of bizhub PROTM multifunctional products (MFPs) that includes the bizhub PRO 1050, bizhub PRO 920, bizhub PRO C6500, and bizhub PRO C500, “ said Kevin P. Kern, vice president, product planning and development, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “Printgroove is an intuitive and powerful job workflow solution that’s affordable, easy to use

Frankly I'm amazed at the lack of discussion on this announce here. Xerox and Global Imaging seems like a very powerful influence in most markets. The ramifications of this on Canon's marketing plans going forward as well as RIcoh and Konica-Minolta, Global has come into many markets and gobbled up mid-sized dealers and taken it to many smaller dealers. Where will Canon go to maintain its marketrshare? What about all those CPC Contracts? Discussion?

Stop the presses!!!! Canon cancels Global for violating their contract by selling to Xerox.... From now on they can only purchase parts and supplies. Will Ricoh do the same? What about Konica? Although they might not be able to afford to do that. Interesting times we live in, don't you agree?

think this copier could do well in a school or church enviroment. The copy quality is better than a Riso but not as good as a xerographic color box. The finisher doesn't have a booklet or trifold option. That a big minus for that market. There's a lot of excitement about the product. I guess HP will spend a bit of money to market it....that gets sales people excited about it. If the public buys the marketing it could be a good seller for HP. I work on Ricoh and Konica Minolta boxes and I'm just not

frustration for many dealerships. At the same time, aftermarket revenue acquisition is streamlined, while end-users benefit from more expedient service and increased device uptime. “Working closely with MWAi, we will be able to improve our affiliated dealers’ customer relations capabilities, which are driven largely by the men and women who support the Muratec end-user on a day-to-day basis,” said Jim D’Emidio, VP of Sales and Marketing, Muratec America, Inc. “Now Muratec employees will have the

Same here! Maybe a few of the big "players" that were with Global will start some new dealerships, hire away the global people and attack the new Xerox base. I would have to admit after years of selling against Xerox and then having to sell Xerox would be quit a pill to swallow.

Hmmmm, maybe Xerox feels a threat from the Edgeline technology of H-P and feels in order to continue to compete it needs a solid entry into that part of the merket. Could H-P be looking at someone to help solidify their position in the Segement 1-2 and build a position in segments 3, 4 and 5? Someone like IKON? H-P will have invested $1.5 BILLION in the Edgeline technology so what's a few more BILLION BUCK to ensure its success? Boy, would Canon go CRAZY then.

I'm curious...What makes sales excited about it? Are there SPIFFs for selling it? Did I miss pricing? Everything I've seen have been projections.

Plotbase isn't made by Ricoh so it isn't totally their fault. They have to rely on Ratio to produce their software. Maybe that is the decision we should be beating them up over .

O.K., O.K., I rescind my negative comment about Ricoh...after all, it's only Thursday, I'm sure I'll find something else to beat them up over before the week's end!

My DSM said she is losing $1.2 Million/month in revenue. I personally feel that there is a reason that those customers aren't with Xerox to begin with and unless Xerox makes major changes in the way they do business, all these customers will eventually leave. If I had the money, I would start a dealership in a current Global hotspot and target the customer-base.

I know that Ricoh is already looking at switching RMAP accounts to other RBS or other dealers for service.

I saw a client that had a similar issue with a Xerox 8830 and Dodge, what she did was to covert the drawing first and then print, it was awhile ago and I am not sure what the exact workaround was with Dodge.

I'm 90% sure Muratec is also relableing this.

Personally, of everyone who "could" have bought Global, I'm sure glad it's Xerox. I can't think of anyone who handles the market they are trying to re-penetrate worse than they do.
