Re: The only 3D printing company anyone’s heard of just laid off a huge chunk of its staff
3D printers commoditized way too quickly. They are turning into desktop printers where there is only money in the supplies. It's a shame because they took a specialized product and tried to find a way to place it in every household by dropping the price tag.

Re: Ricoh vs. the Wide Format Competition Video
Techsense: It's an older video, but you're right most of the manufacturers will try to slip a few older models when comparing thier latest and greatest, I guess they take as no informed and shame on them! BTW, what is the latest and greates from KIP? Are they moving well?

Re: Ricoh vs. the Wide Format Competition Video
Art, As you are aware the latest and greatest from KIP is the KIP 700, and it is going very well, especially considering the state of its primary vertical market. Here is a link to a video that shows how to load media into the current KIP 7700. http://bit.ly/KIP7700MediaChange Good Selling!

Re: Marlin Does Not Disclose Possible Loss Of Evergreen Payments
There isn't more chatter on this forum because most salespeople don't consider it their responsibility to care. Many sales people will go to the ends of the earth to make their equipment perform for the customer but consider the lease contract the customer's problem...their the ones who signed the contract, right? Never mind that we are the ones that shoved it under their nose and it is because of their trust in us that they sign it without questioning. I suppose I shouldn't put all of this...

Re: Marlin Does Not Disclose Possible Loss Of Evergreen Payments
Old Glory: Could not have stated it better, most dealerships could not give a rats ass about what's best for the customer, if that was the case we'd all be selling 10% leases (remember them, they are a thing of the past) or the $1.00 buy out. Not only what I mentioned above, what I'm seeing is that dealerships are letting the leasing companies now add additional fees to return the equipment early, these fee's were NOT a part of the original dealer agreement and dealer ownership is allowing...

Re: Erie businessman gets fed prison for copier fraud
It's interesting, I think I've found someone doing a similar scam here in NJ. Same MO for churches however it seems upgrades then early, promises to make payments on the old lease, but a few have had to hound him to get the money and he is removing the old systems and thoughts are he is renting them or releasing for a shorter term. The leasing company is wise to this however they have not been able to catch him yet. This is only what I heard, if true it's a shame this crap happens all over.

Re: Worst Experience with Nuance
When Ed Schmid was running eCopy they had the best pre & post sales support in the industry. You could call an 800 # while onsite and get someone to answer the phone who actually knew the product better than you did. Those were the days when eCopy was a Canon only product. But Canon did not buy a controlling interest in eCopy so when their contract ran out, eCopy opened up to all copier manufacturers, and their support became poor, the rapid expansion overwhelmed them.

Re: Over Holding On MFP Lease Costs Unnecessary Dollars
My goodness this is so simple. People in this industry are so ignorant sometimes it hurts. Ouch I'm in pain. You are aware that most dealers have an agreement with lease companies that after the first three months of renewals the over pay is split 75% (for the dealer) and (25% for the lease company)? Shame on you Leppert you absolutely know this or should or get out of the advice business. Secondly shame on any rep that allows a lease to get anywhere near less than 18 months left on a lease.

Re: Over Holding On MFP Lease Costs Unnecessary Dollars
I agree with your first point, but on the second regarding the time at which to upgrade a customer, you're leaving a LOT of money on the table by rolling in that much buyout with each upgrade. If the customer is paying $1,000 per month, rolling in 18 payments could cost you up to $18,000 in revenue and profit. I don't know how you're paid, but that would make a big difference to my paycheck. I know there's a greater risk of competition getting in the longer I let the lease ride, but if I...

Re: Over Holding On MFP Lease Costs Unnecessary Dollars
Yoda, you need to not be so quick to throw around the "ignorant" and "dumb" labels. Just because something is true in your tiny little world does not mean it is universally true. For instance, we share revenue from the first month, not the third but what difference does that make. It is still not in the best interest of the customer (in most cases), which should be our primary concern. That brings me to your next, supposedly obvious, observation. "shame on any rep that allows a lease to get...

Re: 2035/2045 SMTP Authentication
Well Shame on Me, looks like the machine that I was dealing with on the SMTP Authentication was a 1232 NOT a 2045. BUT....There is a way on an exchange server to open up the address of the copier to allow it to send without authentication. This is something that the network admin at the company that you are dealing with will have to do. I am going to do some additional research on this one for you as well. Sorry for the misleading info. Graham

Re: Kyocera Rumor!

Their enept marketing of this very customer focused solution caused it's demise as Ricoh, Kip and later XES (6204) capitalized on the time KMA gave them (about 2-3 years) to get a single footprint, 600 dpi wide format system to market.

Re: Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On
Chuck, with the current "troubled times" (words from Frank Cannata on the latest Live Wire / Cannata Report) at Ricoh, it now makes sense that either Savin or Lanier, or both brands, get elimintated. Just as GM sells Hummer and gives Saturn to the Penske group. It is a shame that on the 50th Anniversary of Savin, started in 1959, it's existence may disappear. I thin it will be Lanier for Dealers and Ricoh for IKON and RBS. The other option is Ricoh only, all the way, for both Dealers and the...
