Below are the top threads from ten tears ago on the Print4Pay Hotel forums. Hard to believe it's been 10 years since we had the Connectivity CafÉ from Ricoh.

I was at Konica Minolta show in Orlando in Spring 2004, and Howie was the main performer. He was very funny...but he must be making the copier show circut. Look out Sharp or Kyocera dealers

KIP reps push the 100% toner yield feature on the 6000, which means no waste bottle. Does this mean their operational cost is much lower than Ricohs, or is their toner more expensive, and things are actually pretty equal?

Well, initially, they didn't have the right to do so as the employee had developed it (with the help of outside companies) as a stand-alone product, seperate from Ricoh. I don't know what has changed since that time, so perhaps they've acquired the

than they would have otherwise but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is less expensive to operate than the Ricoh.

More inside scoop, if anyone cares. That Former Employee's name is Jay Burton. He developed the whole configurator on his own and actually put it up in working form before "pitching it" to Ricoh as something they could buy from him. Ricoh claimed that he

It was interesting to read one of the threads that I posted below. It's been ten years since Ricoh changed from their old logo to the new logo which we see today.
How cool is this? A time traveler convention.
Geesh, now ten years does not seem that along ago when you look at some of the model numbers posted in these threads!. Back in 2005, meant that I had been selling Ricoh products for just about 7 years. This year will mark 17 years selling Ricoh products. Don't they give out some type of award for that? Cause I'm all about awards. Enjoys some of the popular threads from ten years ago this week!
Interesting first thread here "Have we won already over HP?". Holy cow, it's been ten years since the infamous launch of the....? Can you remember the name of that device? Alas, for the life of me I can't remember either. Someone help me out here! No wait, I got it, it was the Edgeline!
What a difference 10 years can make right? Ten years ago, I was in the money with the Ricoh 240W. There was nothing else like it, we held margins, sold a boat load of systems and make excellent commissions. Alas, everything comes to and end, by 2006 the industry had caught up and then 07 was the start of the economic melt down.
Below, are the hot topics from ten years ago this week! Enjoy and I hope they all bring back fond memories!!
Geesh! How funny is the first thread, and what a difference 10 years can make in this industry!! Sharp now on the balls of their A## and 10 years ago they were looking to capture market share from the likes of Canon & Ricoh, would make for a good blog right?
There was not much happening in the news 10 years ago this week. I thought I would do my own flash back for January of 2005. I don't keep notes but with having data on the threads from the forums from 10 years ago, the threads do spark the memory. Ricoh wide format was huge!!! I for one was selling two of these each month and maxing out with Gross Profit. I would day that the average gross profit was $7,000 per system. Yes, it was good times!!!! FYI, the picture on the left is Sandals in Saint Lucia!!
