TimB: Thanx for the comment! I believe you with the top ten in R D for Spend to Sales ratios, but I don't R D being conducted for copiers not like Canon, Xerox, KonicaMInolta Xerox. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck. Toshiba's market share over the last ten years in the US has always been at or near the bottom of the pack, thus they are cellar dwellers, bottom feeders, in the US market.

FYI: Toshiba, overall, is in the top ten for RD Spend-to-Sales ratios. "Bottom dweller" really is not a fair use of words. With any device manufacturer, product is only as good as its dealer support. Get references if need be. RE: maintenance; The asker is talking BW devices not color. Regardless, get the maintenance. Fewer spikes in copy quality or hardware issues because you'll make that phone call to fix rather than putting up with poor copy quality, etc. for fear of how much it might cost

in total spend as of Q1 2013. While they may have a good ratio of RD to sales ratio, the volume of dollars they spend on RD on their MFD's are rather small in comparison to the top four - and it shows in the reflection of market share and acceptance on a corporate purchasing level. My point is not to brow beat or denigrate - it is simply this. Acknowledge the truth of your product and don't try to make it something it isn't or others will mostly likely know it and tag you as just a salesman

Good idea, however re-using the paper after it has been printed (ran through fuser), handled, marked up, and then erased.

I'm curious what makes Toshiba so bad that you would rather put a 23 ppm Samsung. Regardless, one tact is to show the difference in available time.

A 45 ppm is occupied just under 3 hours. 8 hour days times 21 working days is 168 hours. "Mr. customer, is it worth $x,xxx to have your copier idle 165 hours vs 162 hours each month?"
