MELVILLE, NY—May 13, 2014—When it comes to getting the most out of your wide-format printer investment, media matters.

Gone are the days when white coated paper was the only media choice. Today, there are hundreds of printable substrates available, and the challenge of matching the right media to the right

" note With that, I was offered a job selling copiers! Over the years I've seen many sales people come and go. Most don't make it in our industry because there is too much rejection, endless prospecting, poor work habits and the same monthly grind over and over.

While driving today, I thought about how many color systems I've sold in the last six months compared to black systems. Thus I went back to the aficio league and counted the numbers. Seventy five percent of my sales were for color. This included production units as well. We've never seen as many models in the industry as we have now, have a complete line up of A4 color, A4 color, A3 color and A4 black systems. A look at Ricoh's lineup and we'll see 9 color A3 systems but only 3 different boxes

We are a Canon, Savin, Samsung, and HP Dealer. We now push Canon 90% of the time. Can't beat the reliability of them. We just got rid of Kyocera about 6 months ago. I am surprised at the people who said the quality was good. We had nothing but issues with the machines from day 1 and the support from Kyocera was less than desirable.

That was our experience with Kyocera as well and why we left them for Samsung as our second line. Our primary is Ricoh and the Samsung is a great compliment to Ricoh as they give you similar speeds and feeds at a much lower price to the customer. For the low volume customer who still wants the features without the hefty price of a Ricoh the Samsung is the perfect fit. Samsung has some features I wish Ricoh had by the way. One other problem with Kyocera was the pricing made selling a Ricoh

So, I have a customer coming from plotbase and the 480W. He had the .dwg option with the plotbase controller. In order to batch print a set of .dwg's with Plotbase, they would send the drawings to the plotbase server and then merge them on the server and the print off sets . They were not using the ratio plotclient. We've now installed plotoworks and my SE is telling them that they must .pdf every drawing and then gather them in plotworks client to batch print sets. Alas, my customer is not

"For me, it's too much work for too little pay-off." Agreed. This small sales are great as positioning, but at the end of the day I want the MFP. Good article!

I just had a customer complain about this, he said if you dont follow the load instructions EXACTLY as the machine tells you, it's very tough. So is any customer with one of these units happy, we just had to replace a whole machine, not even Ricoh could fix it!

't been able to finish the deal because they will not accept the signature of the person who is assigned to sign the lease. Long story short if you can wait 4 months for a deal to close, Providence will wheel and deal with you. We ended up just sellingher the machine instead of dealing with them after all the issues.

The only service calls I have had on the MPCW2200's has been for loading paper. The issue people have is the edge feeding into the printer needs to be straight and square otherwise it will fail to load. The other issue that causes this is the spools being too tight to the sides of the roll of paper. I think this is a good machine. I would rather it had a drawer and catch trays like the black and white machines have but I am sure that would be more money and it seems like all the colors machines

Hi All, I am hoping someone may know this off the top as I have looked through manuals and machines and it is not apparent to me how to do this. Does anyone know how/if it is possible to transfer complete machine configuration settings from a C6000 to a C6502? It seems I could program one C6000 and just flop it into their second way back when, but I can't find that anywhere either. I know about the address book, that is not my concern. It is the copy, print, extended features/IPDS programming I
