are you stating they are charging $138 for comitted color and $138 for committed black?
If so, I've never seen anything like this, the numbers make sense if the base charge is for color and black.
They are charging a single monthly fee ($138), but setting two monthly volume commitments. One for BW (3.5k) and one for color (1.5k). I guess from what you are saying, this is not abnormal...
Do you have an opinion on why this structure is becoming more common. Its now the only option for many of Ricoh's color MFP models on GSA and WSCA. But I'm having a hard time coming up with accurate way to divide the committed volumes by the monthly base fee to come up with accurate committed CPCs.
$0.0394 for BW and $0.092 for CLR don't really make alot of sense for this or any 28-ppm A3 model.
