Re: A4s and Single Function Laser in MPS
My first thought is that your post has a lot of jargon in it I don't understand. (I'm directly responsible for MPS, so it's not that I'm unfamiliar with the terms). When Art can't understand your question about and industry he's been in for 20+ years, it's time to back up and re-write . Secondly, regarding your questions about placing supplemental A4 MFPs around, it all depends upon the customer. I have some customers that have central MFPs and NO additional MFP capability. I have others...

Re: Questions
I would like to hear from anyone that has some insight on the new Bizhub color production 80 PPM system. I heard from a customer that they were shown this unit in a "behind the scenes" preview at Print 09 and that KM would be launching it this spring. From what I gathered, they beefed up the g/m² , changed the feeding mechanism, tighter registration and would share the accessories as the b/w 1200 unit. Very curious to see where it is positioned relative to Ricoh's production products.

Re: Cloud Printing
We haven't been asked for it yet, but boy you sure can see it coming. Even in our own office, we are increasingly using iPads and other mobile devices that lend themselves to cloud type usage. Also, cloud computing is making certain services more affordable to to smaller companies who can't afford their own IT personnel. They will eventually, and naturally, look to cloud solutions for their print needs as well. Here is a fresh story driving home this point. I suggest reading the comments...

Re: RBS Continues to Dump Machines & Make Dealers Look Bad!

Re: Ricoh Rumor!! New Strategy?
We just brought in a MFX-4550 for evaluation. I printed off all the comments on this page and gave them to my service manager, and he thanks you for all the good insight. We have a tip to share back, and Ryan and Art will be glad to hear this. That annoying "confirm page size" screen that you get every time you open a paper drawer? You can turn it off. Go into the Machine Set-up/Admin Set-up screens, and poke around and you'll find it. We'll let you know how the rest of the evaluation goes.

Re: When selling wide format
Art, Can you shed some light on how you came up with the savings per page vs. a plotter?
