Hi Art, I couldn't agree with you more about the stacking issue. The Tameran is a nice option to have, but it is not the most ideal for creating a "compact" footprint. Glad you were able to give them this feedback.

Would love to hear additional comments from other reps who have sold the W3601!

Excellent analysys Art, I appreciate your taking the time to let us know the latest on this fiasco. It makes sense why they did it now that you explained it so well, but I would wager it will bite them later when sales plummet. I kind of gave up selling wide format due to getting kicked by Oce a few times and then the price increase. I did sell a Savin 3406 before the software mandate and it replaced a 2404 with Ratio that they got tired of paying for updates. They do not need the benefits...

I totally agree with you on this one. As of this morning I am seeing the new CW2200 as it is being setup, I am thinking, is this the best that Ricoh can come up with? In my opinion it will only cheapen the Ricoh name with this unit that looks like it is several different pieces that are now married together to create this unit. As you stated, Ricoh made decisions without consulting any of the Rep's that are actual in the field listening to the end user. I started selling Ricoh's wide format...

Color 1: We need to give Ricoh some credit at least with the 240W, it was the game changer of it's time, problem is that Ricoh sat on their thumbs ever since and all of those great people that supported and launched the 240W are no longer around!

Despite wide format volumes in the AEC world dropping the market still expects a certain level of job submission capability. It doesn't have to be at the level of PLP or ReproDesk, but I would hate to be going into a demo either: a) Justifying charging a significant % of the capital cost for something Xerox (AccXES), Océ (OPS) and others give away; or b) Trying to convince the customer he doesn't need job submission. I wrote a job submission tool (ReproRog.NET) some years ago and keep it up...

Working on a W3601 quote and wasn't sure if there had been any price changes since all the plot works discusion last year?

Kitz The average price increased by about 1,200 with the addition of Plotworks. It is a powerful piece of software. I recommend downloading the FAQ from the aficio league anduse many of the value points.

Ricoh Plotworks "Way To Screw Up the W3601"  UPDATE: I posted this on blog on the old blog site back in late May of this year.  To date and since the introduction of Plotworks I have not sold one W3601, I'm usually good for 1.5 of the W3601...

Get ready for a rant!     I'm so sick and tired of the pitiful job that is being done with Ricoh Wide format group!   The Ricoh W3601 which is now three years old plus (with no update in site), the bundling of Plotworks, a way over...

It was the first snow of the season in New Jersey, the snow was short lived and didn't stick to the road surface as I drove to the office.  Today's agenda was to meet two Ricoh Product Marketing Reps from Japan along with the Wide Format...
