MFP Wars, Who Wins, Who Loses?
Art Post (Guest) ·
MFP Wars, basically I've never seen anything like the past year in the last 27 years of selling copiers. Direct Branches from KonicaMinolta, Ricoh, and Toshiba are basically selling MFP systems at cost or a few dollars above in order to acquire the aftermarket business. How long can this last? My bet is it will last as long as the deep pockets of the manufacturers will permit it. rest of aritcle is here http://www.mfpsolutions.blogspot.com

Re: Personal Desktop Scanners "Wave of the Future"?

the ole memory banks. Just a few weeks ago doing another print analysis I again encountered 15 of the these scanners at another location, hmmmmmmm is this coincidence or a new fad. Just yesterday one of my clients called me and asked me to quote on 6 desktop scanners similar to the Fugitsu, although he mentioned that he had seen the Canon DR2050c (Retail $695) and liked what he saw. Now this got my attention! The Fugitsu Scan Snap S500 comes with a 50 page feeder, ABBY Fine Reader, USB 2.0, and

Ricoh is pleased to announce the introduction of the new FAX3320L, FAX4430L, and the FAX4430NF. These models replace the current FAX3310Le, FAX4420L, and FAX4420NF respectively. The new models are the same engine as their predecessors. The only changes between the current models and the new is that the standard memory capacity has been expanded and minor case work design to the front has been made as well as a small color change to the op panel.

240W reference from the web

Reply From: Eric Mims Date: Sep/24/05 - 17:05 (GMT) Re: Ricoh Aficio 240w We've had a Lanier 310 for a week now and we love it. It is a Ricoh 240w with a Lanier sticker on it, literally. The 240w is not meant to take the place of an OCE (8-10 E size ppm) or higher volume printer/copier. It is a lower volume machine and it's perfect for cranking out check sets and final sets for us (smaller firm). Its bigger brother the 470w doubles the output speed to 4ppm E size. Figure out what your volume

Re: When is the release date for HP Edgeline
Warranty heads now on order. One of our salesreps is looking at our demo unit. He's a bit disappointed about the finisher not doing booklets. It also takes a long time to print ledger full color stuff. Lots of time around the drum drying off. We explained to the rep that the copy quality is better than a Riso but not as good as xerographic. The product does have a niche market.....especially with a limited finisher.

Re: Ricoh Americas Corporation Unveils SP C210 Full-Color Laser Printer
Star1 (Guest) ·
I am looking at a SP C210SF right now. It has a low end looking scanner with DF for copying and faxing. Otherwise, looks like the picture you posted. I am somewhat skeptical, as the output quality is not up to par with other recent releases. And the inside of this machine brings back not so happy memories of the AP204 and AP206. But the price is right, so I guess time will tell. Regards, Star1

Re: Fiery E-8000 Controller
the first experience we had in over 2.5 years. I highly recommend you contact your Ricoh rep and try to get this scheduled. The Fiery rep we had knew more about color theory and how to manage a controller w/software than I ever imagined someone would ever know. He also provided his contact info to deal with future Fiery potential situations as well as imageStoreFront and other production solutions. They very well may provide a rep with another avenue of communication to solve the type of

From what I understand, they are no longer authorized to sell RFG equipment. Mention that to the customer along with aftermarket support. Global may be digging holes if they are still selling RFG equipment, and may not be authorized to service.

where the Aficio League Spiff information goes, gee I wonder if it ever filters down to the RBS channel, if so I'd be selling my soul for $100. Hoping I am way off base here and that info is kept confidential.
