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

These units are due to launch January 2008. Does anyone have any info on these models?? All, I know is that is going to be a "killer" product, Canon, Xerox and KonicaMinolta are going to have major problems competing with us!

I'm thinking maybe HP, if they can't cut a deal for Ikon. Ricoh is still buried in the Lanier, IBM buys. Canon would really piss off Ikon if they made a move. KonicaMinolta does not have the financial strength nor the personel to pull it off. Xerox is still working out the bugs with Global. Hp maybe the solution.

Danka is dead... I have heard rumors that Danka may split when they do get sold. Konica Minolta is looking at the commercial business. Though I cannot confirm it. It may make sense for Ricoh PPBG whom is funded through Ricoh Japan to look at buying the High volume portion of the business. Considering that they have a contract in place with Kodak. I do know they just battled hard to keep a very highly regarded Solutions Engineer from going to Ricoh PPBG the day he was suppose to report in.

Well..... A) It depends on what they are charing for the overages, not making $25 in profit by getting 1,000 additional color clicks per month could represent a profit of $50 per month for every thousand pages times this by 10 new colors units per month, we then have $500 every month, second month is $1,000, third month is $1,500, fourth month is $2,000, by the end of the 12th month with selling 10 units per month and each one doing only 1,500 color pages a month would represent a profit of

Here is what I was given at a recent conference.

Art, Shaja is correct in her statements. As an RBS direct rep. I experience the same problems internally as she does externally. I spend equal amounts of time if not more solving customer problems (without response from many within the company) as I do selling. The Lanier merger has presented many problems, which we anticipated. But not as bad as it is now. Hopefully with the new upper level changes in Ricoh Americas there will be some positive changes that make their way down to us and our

Ricoh Buying IKON? c'mon folks.... Ricoh is tooo screwed up to pull that one off.

It seems like the RPCS driver uses bi-directional communication. Maybe installing it on the server and sharing it is prohibiting this and creating papertype mismatches. Installing on the server and sharing out is the most simple installation. However, I've found it to be inferior to installing on the local machines with a direct TCP/IP port. It's kind of like pay a little now or pay a lot later. The problem is that may IT administrators prefer this method b/c it makes their installation more

Thats a bunch of BS, that one one of the key selling points when I argued that the cost of the W2400's was too high. I was told DTB would allow you to merge wf documents and print them as one document! 1) Are you using pdf's? if so there is always Adobe Pro, however the cost is high. 2)Download FREE trial of DTB(full version) for trial, see if that works. Someone mentioned on the p4p the other day that batch printing with the web client was a snap. I'll try and find it for you. Please let ne
