quess this is a big plus for the Konica Minoltas high end system (the 1050). I would hope that in the new Katana series from Ricoh they will be using thier new PXP toner (ricohs ploymerized toner). I have added some press releases below from Tomegawa, KonicaMinolt and Ricoh for your reading. Konica Minolta is very honored to be a recipient of BERTLs 2005 Readers Choice Awards, especially since they represent the voices of the End User and Reseller communities, said William H. Brewster, Jr., vice

& OKI will not have. These would be fully feature staple finsihers, dedicated fax trays, additional paper banks (HP & OKI will have these), and maybe LCT's that accept a max size of legal paper. Printer companies are starting to make inroads in the MFP market place and it will not be long before buyers fiqure out that they do not need 11x17 and opt for the savings from the other manufacturers, however developing a system that will scan the larger documents maybe just what the doctor ordered.

Kyocera's cartridge-free ECOSYS(R) printer technology, which virtually eliminates the need to replace the print drum and other cartridge components, which is typically performed many times over the life of a conventional printer. This not only cuts down on the amount of waste, but also reduces toner replacement costs by two thirds compared to other printers

The Ricoh CL7300DT2 was selected by "Better Buys for Business" as their Editor's Choice for Issue 178/2006. It's in their "Independent Consumer Guides to Document Imaging Equipment". It's pictured on the cover, and it's listed on pages 36-37. The last paragraph reads "This is an outstanding printer family with top-of-the-line features. If you need a combination of top speed and a booklet maker, it is the best choice on the market, so it naturally gets our Editor's Choice Award." It's published

The Ricoh AC204 has been aggressively price repositioned and I think you will want to spend a few moments review the brief Powerpoint presentation to bring you up to speed. The AC204 provides some unique opportunities: 1. Great low end price performer 2. Good low end product for newer reps to be able to cut their teeth on. 3. Solid alternative to stand alone faxes that allows you to get extra copy clicks too

Does anyone know anthing about the new Xerox? It's supposed to be competition for the 240W and KIP 3000. I am about to lose a deal to this unit. The prospect has a brochure but the rep told him not to show it to anyone. He does not know the price but thinks it will be lower or better than mine. They cannont even deliver until end of February but he is willing to wait. I need info, or pricing or something!

100-plus machines I ordered, but luckily I got my money back after he himself became confused by his own trickery and blew his cover." Others were not so fortunate, authorities said. A Brooklyn, N.Y., company ordered 80 Minolta and Konica-brand copy machines from Hawkins for shipment to Pakistan and Singapore, but instead ended up with boxes containing what Roe termed "junk." Another company paid $193,000 for three Hiedelberg Quickmaster printing presses so large they require two tractor-trailers to

According to "The Color Laser Printer and Business Inkjet Printer Guides" put out by "Better Buys for Business" (Progressive Business Publications) In issue 178/2006 the biggest threat to this is the Ricoh CL7300 series (see pages 30 to 30). Our cost-per-copy is lower and we have more finishing options, but we are a little slower. Good Book, good article. Call 800-247-2185 or visit www.betterbuys.com

Is the OEM FUJI or XEROX?

his 9400, it takes 15 MINUTES to print the same file. Obviously, it he were to upgrade to a new system with an embedded controller, he would see about the same speed as the Ricoh. But again, over time, he would see the same degradation as before. I tell "his story" on every sales call I go on. It's pretty powerful!

Here you go. It needs to be loaded along with the regular ppd. Function Specifications: 1. Target Models: Aficio 1022/1027, Aficio 1035/1045, Aficio 2035/2045, Aficio 1224C/1232C, Aficio 1060/1075, Aficio 2090/2105 2. Driver: PS3 3. OS: Mac OS X 4. Brand: Ricoh 5. Language: English 6. Modifications: To support a selection of the following job type and ON/OFF control of User Code for PS driver on Mac OS X. - Job Type: Normal, Sample Print, Locked Print and Document Server - User Code

My wish is for better handling of thick paper on color units. Doesn't seem to matter how I tweak the settings in the drivers or if I use the bypass, the toner doesn't stick well to the paper. A Konica color bizhub can handle it without a problem. I've tried fairly standard stock from various manufacturers such as Hammermill and Wausau, but I always end up going back to the Konica.

More flexibility in paper stocks is exactly why we picked up the Oki line also. Reliable sources indicate that this summer Ricoh will introduce a whole new line of B2C MFPs with a new engine capable of 110 index through the trays and 140 index from the bypass.

External Windows PC over embedded controller in general: Ricoh's standard Windows PC can be repaired or updated by the customer, dealer technician or PC dealer in case of PC issue. Faster repair or swap with a standard PC in case of PC failure. If the Ricoh's PC has an issue, offline copying capability is not affected. Internal controllers will typically be fully incapacitated until the issue is repaired. User controllable virus protection User controllable Operating System updates Convenient

Ooops: Should read.... If the Ricoh's PC has an issue, offline copying capability is not affected. An internal controller will typically incapacitate everything, including offline copying, until the internal PC issue is repaired

drawings, specifications and proposals. Experiments with low-cost flat-bed scanners proved far too slow, says Price, and developers also rejected a network-based scanning system built on digital copiers that was too difficult for IT to support. Ikon Office Solutions, which provided NJ Transits fleet of leased Ricoh copiers, recommended eCopy ScanStation OP, a package that integrates a touch-panel screen, keypad and dedicated PC to a digital copier for easy, high-speed scanning.
