Re: Saudi-Based United Carton Industries Company Invests in Digital with EFI Nozomi Corrugated Printer
Ever since I saw the name Nozomi I was curious where it came from. I found this on wikipedia Nozomi ( Japanese : のぞみ , lit. "Wish" or "Hope," and known before launch as Planet-B ) was a Mars orbiter that failed to reach Mars due to electrical failures. The mission was terminated on December 31, 2003.

Re: MP 6001 print driver issues
That sounds like several cases that I have worked. You should call the Software and Solutions team. We have some ways of looking at the print drivers and print steam that can determine what the actual problem is. From what you are describing, the ERP system is not fully PCL compatible. The functions that are not showing up are driven in the Windows section of the print process. That is what usually is the case and sometimes the driver needs to be looked at, sometimes the application. I would...

Re: What will come of this?
but how much of that is "me too" to protect the base from xerox or someone else offering those solutions... the document solutions might keep the fox out of the hen house for a while. Consider that one of their core beliefs is that business is conducted through documents, so they have an array of document solutions - where IT companies think in terms of managing data not documents.

Yippee. Another worthless desktop MFP from Ricoh. While Lexmark is cranking out 40ppm desktops w/ full color touch screens, Ricoh "upgrades" to a 20ppm machine that is half as productive & has the same old button-driven control panel.

Re: Comments on the Canon 1730/1740/1750 Models
The Ricohs have been slow sellers is not because of end user needs or wants. Basically ours is a quota/revenue driven business from the top to the bottom. The preferred compensation model for commissions is that of a revenue based plan with commissions. Why have a GP driven comp plan for your sales people when your Dealership or Branch has a revenue based quota plan from the manufacturers? It just doesn't make sense. With that A4's from Canon, Sharp, Ricoh, and KonicaMinolta has presented...

Re: End of 2011 Sales Quota Poll
What is this quota???? Don't live in a quota driven world. I will say this though. 2011 sucked. It didn't suck as bad as 2010, 2009 or 2008. How I look at things. In 2008 I did 40% less than 2007. In 2009 I lost another 10% on top of the 40% from the previous year. In 2010 I lost another 5% on top of the two previous. In 2011 I was up about 15% over 2010. January of 2012 was strong.

Re: Nextday4free.com
I too have customers that price compare with web pricing. I may adjust my pricing slightly but won't match it. Web commerce has very little customer service and is ONLY price driven. I think by now just about everyone has experience in an ecommerce sale that resulted in an unhappy experience. Try to bring out that pain in your customer...."hmmm wonder if the ecompany you are about to do busness with will be around in 12 months when companies like webvan are going out of business."

Re: Another Ricoh Direct Give Away
Maybe, we all need to dig a little deeper. Could Ricoh just be buying these accounts to keep dealers out, meaning once they are the incumbent a dealer can't take the business away. I understand in this account they were the incumbant, however if they are willing to lose money (and I heard Ricoh lost a ton of money in the US this year), why not go out and buy all of the large accounts, fortune accounts and leave the scraps for the dealers? Mind you, this is also happening with KM, Sharp,...

Re: Another Ricoh Direct Give Away
Specifically because protectionist laws setup in (I believe) the thirties prohibit auto manufacturers from operating directly in most states. Or they would have done it. I don't think they seriously feared that no one would buy cars ("car manufacturers would have been out of business") if they'd had a direct model!

Re: 3800C, duplex 90lb??
the 3800c can run any paper weight you can find through the bypass. that being said, the maximum "recommended weight" is 48lb. the fuser will not run heavier paper for any length of time. you can drive your car on the beach but it does not mean it should be driven on the beach.

Re: Nextday4free.com
Sounds like another perfect opportunity to present customers with a bundled paper management solution that can save them $$$ thousands. With all the low price barracuda's out there, we have to move the customer's focus away from "cheap". Winning a deal after these low-ballers have driven the margins below sea level is not a fun way to earn a living or build a long term customer relationship.

Re: NECS becomes a Samsung dealer
We're a full-line Canon dealer (table top through production) and have been a Samsung dealer now for a little under 2 years.

Re: MP C5100 PRO & EB 22 Fiery
The user loves the fact that they can send their 11x17 spreads to the doc server and then configure the print settings at the copier. Just trying to accommodate the end user

Re: MP C5100 PRO & EB 22 Fiery
Since they have the Fiery, once the job is printed it can be archived on the Fiery, all print settings will stay with that job. Make sure they have command work station installed on their PC and log into the fiery controller, right click on the print job and archive it.

Re: MP C5100 PRO & EB 22 Fiery
You can still use the document server with the fiery using the fiery postscript driver or the fiery pcl driver. In the PS driver just click the job properties tab, check document server, and fill in a name or whatever you want.

I have had people want to do this too because it's easier to figure out. Also you can't change any job properties except the quantity when reprinting from the fiery.

Re: New 31 PPM color
I have been putting the new 3131 through it's paces and have shown to several customers. Overall print quality is excellent - different from 6513 but obviously true 8 bit color. Should be a good fit to compete with Canon 1180 - ie. good print quality, fiery driven, low cpp and cheap. The juries still out on the durability and reliability with thick stocks, but I'm glad to finally have a higher speed "graphics" machine to offer.

Re: Who Needs 11x17?
Does it really cost that much more to make a machine that can print 11" as opposed to 8.5" ? Or one that will fit 17" in addition to 14"? I think pricing is driven more by the perception of capability. For the paper tray to accomodate 11" x 17", you are only adding 2.5" x 3" to the size of the machine. I would agree that rarely is 11" x 17" necessary, but if you took away the 11" print width for a 9" drum, you wouldn't have rotate sort, and speed would have to be measured by the 11" letter...

The embedded Fiery is quite a bit cheaper, but comes very basic. I have had a few instances in which my customer had to buy the Impose package afterwards. The Fiery EX server includes Compose, Impose, and the Color Profiler Suite with the ES-2000 Spectrophotometer, a must have for all Print-for-Pay shops.
