This doesn't exactly clarify things, since everyone still says they are #1, but hopefuly it provides some color on the situation.

Xerox Corp. helped build the modern office, which today often has more multifunction devices that scan, copy and fax than it does pencil sharpeners. In churning out first office and then commercial printing equipment, Xerox in turn helped build the town of Webster. The company's sprawling Wilson Center for Technology campus of buildings started with a series of land purchases between 1954 and 1965. At its peak, the campus occupied more than 1,000 acres.

The audit came after Avondale Library implemented a Lanier-managed print service that offered staff members and students a more seamless service across its two campuses. The service also reduced what head librarian Marilyn Gane describes as the “excessive” use of paper in its printers—users would lose patience waiting for others to print and either forget to claim their job when it printed or print again to another printer. “It is much more

We are currently seeing a correction in the market. What we sold for $15,000 three years ago we are now selling systems of equivalent value for less than a third. The market is largely oblivious to the selling features that used to give the higher priced systems their value. They didn't need the features to begin with.

In my marketplace, the used A3 market (especially Colour)is still able to displace new A4 products at the same price. Colour quality and reliability has improved a lot over the last few years, so even a one generation old colour copier is very much in demand. The marketplace has a strong demand for colour that for me now exceeds black. Of course, this is not great new for new A3 sales. Customers who have an A3, generally want to stick with an A3 replacement copier. A4 products are sold with a

I'm looking at a break point of around 10k/month, at that point, at least at my dealership, a3 is a lower tco. They [the samsung rep]say when you look at total volumes, 11x17 only accounts for like 3% of the global print volume. What I've seen is that its not accurate to extrapolate that only 3% of customers need it, it means that there is a wider group of customers that use it outside AEC, but they do a tiny amount of it. Even so, once you've got a feature that is used, even marginally, buyers

that is used, even marginally, buyers are remiss to see it go away. Maybe thats part of the strategy with PPDM and sharpdesk - even if its only used by a small margin of people, the buyers would be less likely to move to a4 - assuming that most a4 products aren't going to be bundled with any software. The most important question to ask is "how much do you copy 11x17"? If the answer is none, then the next question is "how often do you print 11x17"? When the answer is quite often, well A3 is then a

There is no specific volume which will become infliction point of cannabalisation...it we be based on the Vendors' being able to educate the customers. Most(over95%) of the current print/copy volumes is only A4, hence there is a strong point in A4 eating into A3 market. It is propelled by serious ATL work done by companies like HP. The only hindrance will come due to the higher running cost of the A4 devices. On the opposite side of this A3 vendors have the customers with actualy very print

One of my clients is a car dealership, and they recently replaced (2) Ricoh MP2510's & (2) Ricoh MP3010's with (4) Lexmark XS658dfe's. The average monthly volume on each of these is around 7,500, so considering that the Lexmarks are significantly more productive and haven't had any service calls in the first quarter, reliability doesn't appear to be an issue. As a point of reference, I have a customer that has a Lexmark XS463de (40ppm desktop mfp) that runs almost 11,000 per month and averages
