This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago
Second Week of June 2007
Fifteen years ago found me still seeking out opportunities for digital duplicators. For me, I thought the future technology for high-speed and spot color would be digital duplicators. Man, did I love those duplicators and I did very well because I understood the technology. Many reps today do not understand the technology that they're trying to sell, and I'm afraid to say that most don't want to learn the technology either. Those that learn and embrace the technology are and always will be the over achievers in our industry!
Here's Some Great Threads from 15 Years Ago

How to Transform Yourself into A Solution Selling Guru! With the industry rapidly changing and the on-set on Direct Branches just moving boxes to capture clicks, it is essential that we transform to solution selling. So what is Solution Selling? Solution Selling can be a sale that incorporates a piece of hard with a software solution. It could be something as simple as a print driver setting that saves the customer time or something as elaborate as a Document Management Software application

Fiery E-8000 Controller

We have our first E-8000 Fiery controller in the field on a Ricoh 5560 and when the scanning function is used it locks up the machine and needs to be rebooted. Is anyone experiencing similar problems and does anyone have these in the field that are running with printing and scanning without any problems?

Major Shift? Go to the Top If you are selling a service or product that causes a major shift in a corporation, then only sell to the top. A smart day-care center owner we know only markets to the presidents or CEOs of large corporations. Most large organizations don't want the "shift" and overhead of providing an in-house day-care center. Our entrepreneur proves to top management that she can provide them a needed service without a major shift.

My thoughts also, I recommended Tohoku,Ricoh manufacturing a 4 color version of the TCII almost four years ago, heck if they can make a TCII, they can make a TC IV. I also though of just having a plate maker (master maker), this would keep the cost down on the hardware. They must be thinking of something else, I beleive ink technology may have put the final nail in the coffin for digital duplicators.

Re: The World's First Duplex Printing Duplicator
I agree with Art. Tohoku is never going to listen to good common sense. Ricoh has left digital duplicating technology on the vine to die in the USA. What we have now is what we got. Make the most of it, inkjet technology is on the rise - just take a look at HP's Edgeline and Riso's ComColor......

We have installed one of the patches. Our technician spoke with Ricoh and they said there is no fix for the issue right now and that the other patches will not do any good but that a beta version is circulating and new firware should be out in July. I just have trouble believing that this Fiery has been available for the time that is has and it has this problem still.

Re: When is the release date for HP Edgeline
The actual set up went pretty smooth. I think we have a bad black print head though. We're still talking to a real engineer person at HP not somebody from Bangalore. I think we'll have it resolved tomorrow.

Re: SR400 w/ Inserter ? ----Please Help
I think the question was whether it would do a 5.5'x8.5' insert. Obviously wouldn't staple it but will it insert a page that is 5.5"x 8.5. I personally think that a better idea regardless would be to insert a full 8.5x11 sheet with the other portions of the page printed with info that would be appropriate considering the placement of the insert.

Re: SR400 w/ Inserter ? ----Please Help

I thought about that, but then there would be no need for an insert - you could just print the materials that you wanted in the first place and stich the whole document.Don't you think. I think I may be thinking about this to hard and am probably missing someting very basic.
