This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago First Week of August 2004

Scientists speaking at a news conference on natural disasters raise the alarm that the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma, Canary Islands, could erupt at any time, sending a 250 km2. rock crashing into the Atlantic Ocean and producing a tsunami that could devastate the Atlantic's coastline, within hours. Very little seismological monitoring of the volcano is being carried out.

 

Note from Art:  Hmm, 10 years later and nothing, glad I didn't pack the bags!

          I'm curious how others are illustrating the differences between Ricoh's Document Server and Canon's Mailbox. It would be great if we could get responses from reps that lean more to Canon as well as those who are Ricoh competing with Canon.

          Since the new digital 240W has been launched I have had a couple of instances where they were also considering a Xerox system in the $15,000 range.  Does anyone have any idea of which model this may be?  Any feedback would be appreciated.

          G'Day all. You will get your yield based on the figures given by Ricoh. However it is important to understand the issues with coverage. Also bear in mind that coverage to useage are not proportional. A square block of colour on a page 100x100=1000, if

          sounds like an auto dealership? we've dealt with one trying to use our systems. no luck. depending their volumes you'd be able to place one of the Ricoh scanners to do the job.

          I have been putting the new 3131 through it's paces and have shown to several customers. Overall print quality is excellent - different from 6513 but obviously true 8 bit color. Should be a good fit to compete with Canon 1180 - ie. good print quality
