This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago 3rd Week of October 2005

I picked up on the last thread of this post.  If I remember correctly almost ten years ago, HP introduced the HP4345 MFP series.  It could have been the first A4 MFP in Segment 4. 

 

We ran a poll and 53% of our members voted for Ricoh having a system like this and 47% voted no.  Enjoy the threads from Ten years ago!

          As such this is not great news for us here in the UK, as there have already been rumblings that something similar will happen here. I have to agree, however, that the range is good (almost excellent), and if Ricoh can capture a much greater market share
