), Sharp, and Toshiba, which supply Imagistics with customized imaging products, are known to be impressed with the company's direct-sales marketing prowess, notes Cross.

Has anyone had this occur? client switches from HP to RICOH MFP, and uses MACROS in word, more specifically word 98. The Macro with the HP would automatically go to the correct paper drawer containg letterhead, and the RICOH will not. All though this is a very small gripe, it is something that is out there. People like to take the work out of things and look to our technology to do that; Wouldn't you agree. I guess my questions is does anyone know if upgrading from a 270 to a 2035sp might help

Since we are a Canon Dealer also, I checked with our DSM for Canon and no they are not being discontinued. There are over 60,000 on backorder, and they are producing them as fast as they can. What we are being told is that it may take 30-60 days to get one. That is probably where the rumor started. Also, I checked with our tech that just returned from 3200 school two weeks ago, and nothing was mentioned in school from a tech standpoint about the color registration not being great, or the

Ted - so do most of the Konica's 45ppm+. Thanks for the info!

Within Quark was the proper PPD downloaded? If so make sure that the originator was using the correct color profile. It doesn't make sense that the 206 would do a better job. Was the 206 even true p/s or was it Ricoh Script?

I heard the JP 4500 is to be released within the nest week along with the new Seri Printer. I am not sure about this system, it just might be a system for the European Market.

I saw this system demo'd @ Ricoh several years ago. Its development name is Ruby. As you can see from the picture, it is the same design style as the JP5000/5450, thus an older unit, not new. It also only supports UC6 and CPIF26, because it does not have the updated main board to support the Type 80. The product was deemed not suitable for the US market due to the fact that is doesn't have a large capacity exit tray to match the LCT, and the sorter limits you to run lengths of 40 per original

Ricoh will be releasing a another duplicator based on the JP 3000 engine. The model number will be the JP4500. Higher dpi and a new revolutionary master material will increase ink yeild and quality. There may e a few more goodies on this box, I hope its the large capacity cassette, then all we'll need is a large capacity exit tray!!

Did y'all know that the imagerunners can scan as a default even if the customer doesn't order the print option? They come with a NIC standard and can "push" scan from a standalone machine. Ted

This question has been unanswered for weeks on the Aficio League. Hi. Are there any new promotions or contests going on through Aficio League because there are things on there that ended July 31 and August 31st. Also, are there going to be new contests starting for e-lead? Those contests ended on Sept. 1st as well. Finally, did the SALES LEADS totally stop? I haven't seen anything posted since March.

in the country. The question of local service and local support seems to have little impact on the buyers decesion making process. More and more potential clients want to know if the solution was successful in their industry or with another company of there size. Since we (salespeople) are territory based, we can only draw references or Sucess Stories from our territory another reps territory. A few weeks ago I posted a great sucess story named "Killer Success Story". Wouldn't you know I did the

So does EMC, apparently, which has voluntarily obtained certification for Centera, a content addressed storage device.

production program geared towards an 8 bit print engine. There is a good possibility that the 3800 just can't generate the colors from what Quark is sending it. Since it is a 2 bit engine, it really is not a good printer to have in an application that uses Quark. If you do print to PDF first then print as a post script file that may help. Another thing. Is this a question of Quark on a Mac or PC? If you are using a PC, use PS printing rather than PCL or RPCS. If it is a MAC then that question is

The Aficio 1113 appears to be the Aficio 1015 without the ability to add fax or print - at least that is what I get from the info put out when it was released in the Euoropean market in May of this year. http://www.ricoh-europe.com/press/content/143.htm

Yeah I did, it should be interesting how this is all going to shake out. Hope HP can continue to market the "Monica" product the same way they are marketing their printers, if they do we should be in for an easy ride.
