Re: NEW Duplicator with Paper Cassette
I heard the JP 4500 is to be released within the nest week along with the new Seri Printer. I am not sure about this system, it just might be a system for the European Market.

Re: SERI Launch Date
Ah........, the long awaited SERI printer. This devices wroks in tandem with any of Ricoh's Digital Duplicators. It actually allows duplicators to print onto alternative media, such as "Tyvek", "Coated Stock" and other stock where the ink was not drying. The SERI dries the ink by passing the paper and ink from the duplicator under a UV light. This process also allows Ricoh to now release "transparent inks", meaning CMYK printing can be accomplished. To me the Seri gives us a new market, that...

Re: Urgent Need help!!!
We just got our Seri Reflex Blue in today so it must now be in stock. If not I can sell you one if you are in a bind. Is Reflex Blue what I need to do full-color?

Re: Urgent Need help!!!
Seri Blue M is needed for CYMK, Reflex is the Royal Blue, like our normal inks. I have spare Seri drums in an emergency.

Re: Riso HC5000
The Lexmark thing is now providing stability for Riso. Their sales actually increased last year, but only due to the sales of Lexmark. Otherwise, duplicator sales declined sharply, I hear. It would be great to get the scoop on this device, as Jim says, with the Seri and this, there might well be some life in the old girl yet!!!

Re: Duplicator and sorting ideas
Amanda: What type of finishing?, do they need booklet making, more than 20 11 x 17's? Would they like to have spot color? Finishing options are available, however my first approach would be with two 90's with the finishers. You can sell the sizzle, that the systems will pretty much work unattended. They will have to fill and empty the paper, any printer would love to have the job run with out much labor involved and you can also sell the sizzle of direct print from the PC. If the finishing...

Re: JP4500 Quality !
Thought I'd share what I wrote to Scott.. We've got several units out there, but I really don't have a handle on actual yields as yet. I do have high expectations, though. So far reliably, we've had no issues. Even have a client who runs a bunch of envelopes with no cutting into the master, another benefit of its thickness. Haven't done much color work, possibly due to the limited standard colors. I heard a rumour that Ricoh was trying to see if they make this Seri compatible. We'll see. For...

Re: JP4500 Quality !
Guys, I took a chance and placed a 4500 in a print shop. He is enthralled with the copy/print technology. Ink yields compared to the JP3000 have been outrageous. He's averaging 11K per cartridge on long runs. He has not complained about registration, and he is doing single color NCR. As far as registration for 4 color work, the jury is still out. The JP4500 uses does the new press roiller design that is in the JP5500 and the JP8500. As far as working with the Seri, they should find a way to...

Re: New Duplicators from Ricoh
Not that I know of yet. Was it part of the Seri configuration? I knew they were developing that, but thought it was going to be a Seri hybrid - that is using a resin ink. Also, how many heads did it have? My information says that they might have up to 6 heads when all said and done. They are supposed to be replacing the 8500 with a unit that has the HQ master technology, with much greater functionality at the control panel. Any new news of that?

Re: New Ricoh Signature Series Color MFP's on the Web
Get a quote from a Ricoh Professional...Now that's funny. But don't worry the dealers are the most important part of Ricoh's strategy and plans going forward. They can't even update the Savin or Lanier site. Being a Savin dealer I have people rather frequently who go on the site and are turned off by how old and outdated it looks.

Re: New Ricoh Signature Series Color MFP's on the Web
Will be interesting to see what, if anything, ever comes of it. We have talked a lot before about leads from the manufacturer. Maybe, just maybe, that request a quote will be shared with dealers as well. Of course with is being a Savin dealer I won't hold my breath that "Ricoh" will send us leads. I've gotten a couple in the last few years but they came from the Savin website requests. Not sure what I've gotten from Ricoh lately except heartburn and stress.

Below is probably one of the most mis-understood printers (well not actually a printer) of our time. The Seri Print 25 was a really cool in-line attachment to the Ricoh duplicators. You would replace the Ricoh ink with Seri Ink, and then you'd be able to print on any gloss coatings. The Seri printer used a UV light to cure the ink on the gloss coat. Alas the Seri is no more and Ricoh is just about out of the duplicator industry now. Enjoy the threads from ten years ago this week! Konica...

Re: Seri Printer 25 w/VDP from Ricoh
You really have to have two seri's for a dual installation like that. One for the HQ9000, one for the TCII. I've seen the VDP - pretty slick. We've had issues with Seri in general, and it's like pulling teeth to get tech support. Seems to work alright in higher volume environments. You're right on the 4 color run - two time through the TCII, but if you plan to do process color, good luck. With a friction fed system, and masters that slowly stretch over a long run, it's nigh on impossible to...

SRP on Seri Black = $409/box (6x1000cc) SRP on Seri colors = $482/box (3x1000cc) This only represents ~28%GP, but any higher would really kil the cpc.
