This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago (2nd Week of February 2004)

Remember when bit color was an issue with the first color units. We all had to learn what 2, 4 & 8 bit color was.  Funny, how 19 years later it's not even a topic of discussion anymore.

Ten Year ago this week, this story was in the headlines. 

  • Nine Cuban migrants attempt to reach Florida in a modified 1959 Buick that was converted to a boat. They are intercepted by the United States Coast Guard. The same group had made a similar attempt the summer before in a modified 1951 Chevrolet truck.
Ten Years ago, these were the threads on the Print4Pay Hotel forums!! Enjoy!

I like Graham went we first took on Kyocera 3 years ago felt Ricoh was a better product. Since that time, as install more and more KM's and talking with our service tech's. We have less service calls on the KM's doing the same volume then with Ricoh's

That is straight off the Ricoh Cost Fact Sheet for this model. These sheets are available on ROL. That is the actual cost to the dealer, not what we sell it for. But it is better than the 3800CMF & the CL7000CMF.

Was the Ricoh Aficio 3006 a 2 bit, 4 bit or 8 bit system? Will a 2232 be a good upgrade to a 3006? The client makes copies of magazine articles. Exact color is not critical, but a good, professional image is. I did not do much with the 3006, so I am

can be by themselves when lease, service and supplies are all taken into consideration. If a duplicator can provide a value add without adding to the cost, then you have just eliminated much of your competition...especially Xerox and Canon.

We also shy away from the fiery. Any time it comes up, I share the success of the Ricoh Driver and it has never been an issue because none of the opportunities offered a reason to implement the fiery driver.
