This Week in the Copier Industry Five Years Ago
Third Week of March in 2017
There was quite a bit of chatter this week about leasing at the tactic that dealers will use. Keep in mind it's not the leasing companies that drive the Evergreen clause, nor the small window of time for notification, and the annual escalator increase for the hardware and the service. These are all dealer demands with their private able leases. Which brings me to "if a dealer was so confident with their support and service there would be no need for these times of clauses"

Re: The Death of the Cost Per Page Billing Model
Hi Art, Here’s my prediction for the future: A3 MFP’s will be bought on the internet without any interference from sales-reps, print-specialists, installation-technicians, etc. etc. I think the Copier Industry isn’t any different from Audio/Video, Household-appliances, Insurances, Phones, Vacations, Cars, and all other business of which we thought we would always need a technical- or sales specialist? They will be delivered (and installed!) by DHL, FEDEX, UPS, and if broken, fixed by multi

The 407 is an impressive box except for one thing. It is beyond me why Ricoh would make such a machine and only give it a 250-sheet main paper drawer. That's just stupid if you ask me.

Don't forget that Epson just released their new A3 inkjet MFP. Very interested to see how that pans out as well! I can't tell you how many times I've lost a deal because a dealer "disguises" their a base amount of copies inside the lease payment. Customers are willing to pay more to not have to worry about monthly print usage and have a predictable monthly payment. This seems crazy at first, but then I thought about it and it's everywhere... We pay a flat rate cell phone bill instead of "per
