Re: The Effect Currency Evaluations have on the MFP industry
While it is probably fair to say that the majority of new copiers/ printers in the world are now manufactured in China, these facilities are owned by Japanese companies.

Re: The Effect Currency Evaluations have on the MFP industry
It was briefly at $1.0030 earlier this week. It is now at $0.975. It should be around $0.89 but because the US Govt is running massive deficits Canada looks good. If China ever pulls the plug and calls in its US Bonds, it will not be pretty.

Re: The Effect Currency Evaluations have on the MFP industry
China won't pull in it's bonds since it would ruin the US economy and China would lose one of it's largest if not the largest trading partner.

Re: The Effect Currency Evaluations have on the MFP industry
It is ironic that Communist China has the ability to cause significant damage to the world's greatest democracy with the capitalist concept of debt. Anyway not to get political, copier prices might soon be rising simply because of the powerful forces of currency change.

Re: How will the earth quake in Japan affect...
Most of the copiers we sell are assembled in Europe, but the parts come from China, Japan etc. So if the quake is going to have an impact on our sale then it probably won’t happen until (maybe) this summer... MP C toner is produced in Japan and bottled in US (according to the package) That could be an issue if the toner factories are affected

Re: Protest in China
The root cause of the feud is a couple of very small uninhabited islands off the coast of Japan. Both countries want to claim sovereignty. The value is in the rich fishing grounds and possible oil underneath the sea. Panasonic has already closed at least one plant in China as a direct result. We can only hope this does not impact the MFP industry.

Re: Does it matter what a presidential candidate promises?
watch out for CHINA, no other country has anywhere near the population, nor the revenues that China is accumulating. the next war may not be a war of the military but a war of crippling a nations economy and stealing data/secrets/intellectual property. While everyone is watching the arab spring, Iraq, Afganistan, the europe debt crisis, CHINA is the sleeper that is on it's way to become a military and econmoic powerhouse.

Re: Toshiba maintains #1 A3 Copier market share in China
Sometimes we all seem to focus too much on our local markets, it's good to see what some of the other manufacturers are doing in those markets. I had not idea Toshiba was number 1 in China, China a huge market and still developing. This is also helps me understand why Toshiba is still manufacturing MFP's. All I knew about was there less than stellar Marketshare here in the US. I'm sure others appreciate this also, and that's why we're all here to share information. Thanx

Well, we're already proven that the economy doesn't shut down when gas hits $3 or even $4.
