Re: Ricoh 2352 & 2852?
US Communities is a nation-wide (US) contract that Ricoh bid and won exclusive rights to. Any entity that is government (non-Federal) or non-profit can become a member of this buying group and as a member qualify for discounted pricing on a multitude of products including those sold by Ricoh. In a nutshell, we have a lower cost of goods if someone qualifies for US Communities pricing.

Re: Cloud Printing
Thanks for the info, it is greatly appreciated. It seems that HP is leading in this effort, and they appear to have levels of the product depending on the application. Ricoh seems to be doing an all or nothing approach, the same with Lexmark. Lexmark has a Global application that has a lot of neat features, the problem lies in the involvment of the local dealer. Lexmark wants to come in and do the analysis and launch of the product and is unwilling to even ball park a price on the solution.

Re: New AC104
That is the one I caused a little confusion about mentioning it in the "1515" discussion. The AC104 is the FX-16 in Europe. I didn't think Ricoh would send this one to the U.S. ... or else I figured it would go through the "Bizworks" channel.

Re: MPC 7500 Coated Paper Settings

Re: Email 2 Ricoh America Corp about RBS
Art: Even though you are correct, look at it from this point of view. When Ricoh sells to their dealer base they make X profit for each machine plus, of course, profit from parts and supplies. Now when they sell to there own network they get the total profit. All revenue goes to them. Sure it may be a RBS dealer but when it is all said and done RBS profits go to Ricoh. They get all profit, I believe they understand exactly what they are doing. Look what they lost when Xerox bought Global,...

Another thing to consider when presenting these costs is that this is for toner only - no mention of maintenance kits, etc. Start adding in the cost of IT time for these repairs and the actual costs start to climb rapidly.
