Im with you...I am really stoked about it

My mailers are going out the last week of March! I am going to put a cost justification spreadsheet together for those customers who plot over two hundred times a month. I figue the cost for a d size (architect) plot is close to .13 per square foot.

What are your thoughts on the .13 per square foor for a typical HP Plotter.

What are all the spec's for this system? Is this a true "Ricoh" product and not a re-label?

True Ricoh Product!!!!. I will try and send the specs in a few days. I am getting ready to leave for vaca.

It has a 12 x 18 universal paper draw along with roll feeder, and by-pass. Has software similar to the 470W. My customer has already agreed to purchase one.

Have a local dealer pitching it/all info off of mailing piece one of our potential clients received:
standalone: $12,000.00
scan/print: $16,000.00 incl. computer

4 "D"/minute
600 dpi 256 shades
1 or 2 roll option
bypass tray
Optional Sheet Cassette up to 12x18 is front loading
Network: "Ricoh Software Provided for DWG Set Processing",Scan to file,Plotter


Kind of looks like a 780 digital version w/470 keypanel. sits on a stand.

Has anyone seen anything in writing on this model (brochure, pricing, etc.)? I just spoke with Savin and I'm told it is being launched in two weeks, so I figure there has to be info available somewhere. I have a bid due today and would love to include this model (the client is preparing to purchase a plotter for a satellite office along with several MFP's). I am waiting on a reply from Savin, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll let you know what I find (if anything).

Could this be it? Maybe not, I don't read Japanese.

Darren:

That's the brochure in Japanese! I wonder if Ricoh-Europe has released this brochure yet.

I finally got a call back from Savin and they gave me less info than I got from Art's document that was posted here. Thanks, Art (how does it feel to be smarter than Savin?).

I'm taking the brochure thing seriously Art. I checked all of the Ricoh websites, Japan was the only one I could find that had what appeared to be the brochure.

Darren:

Yeap, thats the one, wonder if I can find a software that will do the translation.
