Five Reasons Why Surveyors Will Love the NEW Ricoh IM cw2200
Yes, it's been some time since Ricoh updated the Ricoh MP cw2201. Covid19 has cramped a lot of the office equipment manufactures introductions for the last two years. Thus almost since years since the intro of the MP cw2201 the new IM cw2200 adds some new features and a few wrinkles that Surveyors will love. The I stands for Intelligent and the M for multi-functional!
Waterproof inks
Not only is the ink waterproof but it's also UV resistant, no longer will ink smear or run if the document gets wet. Unlike other plotters that use 5 colors, the Ricoh uses only four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black), which means it's less expensive to buy four cartridges rather than five. Simple stuff right?
GEL-Jet technology
GEL-Jet technology is really pretty cool and that's because even though the ink is liquid, it's leaving behind a dry toner particle. The liquid acts as a carrying agent for the toner. When the liquid carrying agent comes into contact with the paper the carrying agent evaporates and leaves behind the dry toner particle. Thus in my eyes you have the best of both worlds for ink and toner. The image is dry and won't smear nor run, and there is much less energy used with GEL-Jet printers over color laser printers. Thus the GEL-Jet typically uses 90% less power thus helping to reduce C02 emissions.
Scan Technology
It wasn't until I worked with a competitors wide format plotter when I found out that wide format plotter could not scan or email a document to multiple scan locations (email or folder). Thus clients that need to scan documents to multiple locations in one pass can appreciate how the Ricoh IM cw2201 can save a tremendous amount of time scanning. I'll admit many users scan more than they copy. Can you imagine the time wasted to send the same drawing/plot to 5 users five times? geesh!
Scan Exit Technology
Every competitor to the Ricoh uses an outdated process for scanning documents except for the Ricoh. Let's say you need to scan 10 pages for a bid request, thus with the competitors you'll need to place one document a time in the scanner, then wait for the document to scan, then wait for the document to exit the scanner and then remove the scanned document before you insert the next document. I'm sorry but that's an outdated process that I call "one in and one out" and huge waste of time!
Our Ricoh IM cw2200 offers a document exit tray for scanned documents to stack in. The Ricoh process means you place the document in the feeder, when the document is scanned you then place each document that's next in line. When the scanning is complete, you grab the scanned pages from the stacker exit tray and remove the ten pages. Incredible time save!
Auto Firmware Updates
Firmware is everywhere and without firmware most if not all electronic devices will not work. Firmware is a set of software instructions that tells the hardware what to do. In the past firmware for printers, copiers, scanners had to be installed by a technician when the manufacturer needed to update a piece of hardware. If it ain't broke don't fix it was the code that manufacturers and dealers lived by. The reason for that is because each on site call costs the manufacturers money. Of course if the machine was not operating correctly one of the fixes could be installing the new firmware.
Auto updates eliminates the need for a tech to be on-site and ensures that of the manufacturers hardware can be updated via the internet quickly. Many of those updates are for security as well as hardware fixes. You can learn more here for firmware security.
Closing
There's my five reasons, however there are many more that would take too much time to list tonight The IM cw2200 is priced in the middle of the road for color 36" plotters that scan, copy and print. The IM cw 2200 can also be equipped with a dual roll feeder which makes it nice to print 36" documents along with an 18" roll of paper for check plots.

COVID Killed the Traditional Office, Not Traditional Office Needs
COVID Killed the Traditional Office, Not Traditional Office Needs
Response to the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. While some businesses saw the potential for permanent change and began adapting, others waited patiently for things to return to “normal.” Unfortunately, two years on, most major employers are discovering that “normal” may never be the same as back in 2019.
Despite governments relaxing most restrictions, the majority of employees expect to work remotely for at least a portion of their regular hours. Some would even take a pay cut of up to ten percent to stay at home. Today, a mere four percent of employers have plans to bring everyone back into the office full-time.
But a non-traditional workplace still needs to perform traditional tasks.
Keeping Up With Employee Communication
One of the biggest upsets for employers during lockdowns was ensuring an easy way for employees to continue communicating. Some businesses turned to group and individual chat applications. Others selected project organization platforms. But the most significant adoption rate throughout the pandemic was in video meeting technologies like Zoom.
In today’s ongoing remote work environment, video conferencing continues to be a large part of the technology mix. Even employees working in the office are still subject to video calls with clients, partners, and even internal individuals and departments. The continued popularity and prevalence of video conferencing is one of the big reasons many employees are still advocates for remote work. But, with so much of the workforce already transitioning to hybrid and remote work, “Zoom Calls” are quickly becoming seen as a necessary part of modern business.
And as employers continue to build up their hybrid and remote work programs, maintaining company culture has become a large part of the need to communicate. As a result, many human resources departments are working to find new ways to leverage Google, Zoom, and other platforms to build company cohesiveness. They use these systems to generate fun activities, provide training tools, and keep people informed.
Digital Still Hasn’t Replaced Basic Supplies
Whether working from the business office or your home office, employees still need pens, notepads, highlighters, pencils, and other essential supplies. Attempting to operate without their everyday office items has been shown to negatively affect productivity. Lower productivity leads to decreased profits for the business, which equals loss–and nobody has time for any more of that.
Offices with remote and hybrid workers are encouraged to continue providing the same supplies used in a full-time office. However, in situations where the expense of supplies for more than one location per employee is an issue, offering travel totes is an excellent solution. In addition, hybrid workers who typically share desk space with others are encouraged to keep their office essentials with them in either location. This practice both keeps the workspace clean for employees who share desks and ensures workers have access to all of the same materials no matter where they are.
On the other hand, what hybrid and remote offices are saving on stocking coffee, snacks, and other communal supplies can be easily funneled into providing the items needed for comfortable and productive work across locations. Items like sit-to-stand desks, quality headphones, and computer monitors are just a few of the supplies and equipment most likely to help employees perform their daily tasks efficiently.
Print Is Still Essential
Despite the new office environment’s big lean toward digital, printing and paper are still an expected and fundamental part of operations. Over half (64%) of organizations consider printing a critical function. Moreover, some experts consider printing and scanning even more essential to hybrid and remote offices.
Many workers prefer to make notes, red-line, and edit documents in a physical format. Visceral interaction with documentation has been proven to help employees understand and recall information. And being able to scan notes and documents into a digital format improves employee ability to store and share information effortlessly.
That is why office printer manufacturers are providing many new features that support the needs of hybrid and remote offices. These options are heavily weighted toward improved security to help IT departments meet data compliance. Security features include password access, data encryption, network authentication, stored data protection, and many others.
For the standard employee, there is a wide range of convenience options. Things like cloud capability and mobile printing are just a couple of the new services many of today’s latest printers offer.
Finance departments worried about the costs of new machines or the potential for increased monthly expenses can also benefit from the latest printer technologies. Higher workload capacities and lower running costs are just two features designed to make new printers more palatable to the pocketbook.
Companies looking to further manage costs and alleviate concerns around printer functionality and management also have options thanks to managed print services and other printer leasing and service businesses.
Today’s hybrid and remote work world presents new challenges for companies looking to lower costs while meeting the needs of their employees and clients. Fortunately, printer service partners, new printing technologies, office supply options, and communication technologies can help meet workers’ continued “traditional” needs – whether at home or in the office.
