EFI cutting ties with RICOH

bmiller (Guest)

I hope someone out there can provide some clarification for me. I was recently told by my companies VP of sales that EFI and RICOH have severed their relationship. Does anyone know if there is truth to this, or the details of what is really going on, or could everything be copesetic, and this is information just blatently wrong. I appreciate the input.

I think there is a difference between "severed ties" and a corporate decision not to use EFI in the future. The real test of the future will be whether or not the new color unit has a Fiery Controller option. If Ricoh does not use EFI for a high-end Graphics Color device, they won't use them anywhere.

Jim, I am not sure I follow you. When you say RICOHS high end graphics color, which product or what information do you have in regards to that. Or is that the 50ppm b2c copier which we have been anticipating? thanks

My understanding is that the new unit is 40 cpm color 60 cpm B&W is not a B2C product...it is a graphics color product just like the 3131 which was a stop-gap solution in anticipation of this new 40/60 unit. It is to operate in the 6513 arena, not the 2238C arena. That is my understanding.
