Dontcha just love press releases. I went to Graph Expo yesterday, and I will say that the only two companies aggressively promoting their copiers were Canon and Xerox. Walked in the door to see two big Xerox and Canon copier banners (about the size of a small building) right there in the McCormick Place lobby. Konica had a C6500 buried in the EFI booth, and if anybody else was there (Ricoh???) I didn't see it. Quite a switch from last year when Konica had the whole industry buzzing about the

WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 27, 2006 -- Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) has launched the Xerox WorkCentre™ 4118 desktop multifunction device, designed to give small offices the advanced copying, printing, scanning and faxing typically found in high-end multifunction systems.

Ricoh 7030D mainboard needed. PlotterTec@aol.com

These new models the 2510 amd 3010, could you tell me which models they are replacing? I loked at the Ricoh site and could not figure it out, unless there is a "C" left out and these are color units. (I am used to the Savin numbers)

I have the sales manual for this product, would anyone like a copy! Some neat features and consumable cost is published about half of what the 240 is. It's a shame we may never get a printer version of the 240, all in all the list for the Tero is $19,995 for a print speed of 6.2 "D" size per minute. This system requires and external print controller like the Ricoh. Scan2File is standard, looks like ther there is no scan2email feature

sales moral: don't wait... make the call...

Have not heard of this however it would be cool if we had it!!! Come on Ricoh bring it to market! Art Post

Our dealership recently had WF training from Ricoh's WF product manager and we asked him specifically about color WF products. He made no mention of Ricoh bringing one to market...only that Oce had one, but it was well over $100K. I get a lot of requests for this product, but I'm not sure how many of these clients would be willing to pay $60K. I think most of my clients' requests are just wishful thinking. However, it would be cool to have this in our arsenal. Brian

I agree it sucks. As if it wasn't crowded enough with all the RFG competition. We were just involved in a bid for hundreds of systems and the final 3 were all RFG companies. As far as Toshiba I find it ironic that their corporate motto is “Don’t copy. Lead.”
