In the annual Gartner U.S. copier market report for 2008, Ricoh Americas Corp. (West Caldwell, NJ) holds the number one spot for a second straight year in the combined black-and-white and color copier segment with a 21.4 percent market share. Ricoh leads the pack for the sixth consecutive year with a 22.2 percent stake in the individual color copier market.
