New Products

I've seen nothing for at least the next three months, beyond that, well, your guess is as good as mine. I did hear a rumor that we will have an envelope press, which is interesting because when I looked at the future products there was item that I was not familiar with and couldn't find anything on the web. Not saying it's true, but when the rumor comes from a P4P'er it usually is.

Production is partnering with Xante on their Ricoh engined envelope press. I think it uses a SP C831 and the system looks solid.

Rumors have new Color production coming soon.

Give it a few monthS. Ricoh is going to shake it up a bit with a 3 new production boxes.

Ricoh914,

Are these replacement models or is Ricoh expanding the line?

Any details?

I don't have anything concrete yet but I hear two replacements and an addition.

Okay I have seen some details on paper.  Looks like two new products and two updated series. Very promising looking. Anyone see anything?

I got nothing

Ricoh914,

What products are these new models replacing and where will the new models be positioned?

I have info but can not put it out there until I see it elsewhere.   Hopefully soon.

Ricoh-europe.com is prepping to launch info.   Won't be long.

is there any link with any info?

I heard that the new color production system will not replace any existing color systems, it will be in addition!

Samsung's new line of MFP's are being launched tomorrow in Europe.

Now, in the world of copiers, these boxes are sexy!!!  Canon, KM and Ricoh better wake the heck up.  I can' wait to learn more about these devices.  Do you have any info you can send me?

If Samsung would make these machines faster & keep the price points the same, they could grab market share in a heartbeat.  

Some dealers are making huge strides with the current Samsung offering. you're right about the speeds. If dealers are not looking at Samsung right now they should be this will take business from others very quickly

Speaking of Samsung looks like they just bought printeron who makes hotspot printing for Ricoh .

This should play out well...

Wow...they also make HP's e-Print.  I wonder if they're doing this to lock other manufacturers from using the technology or to build up valuable licensing revenue.  Despite Samsung's constant battle with Apple (both for market share and in court), Samsung makes chips for a lot of Apple products, so they have no problem taking competitor's money for use of their technology.

Printeron also owns allot of patents for mobile print. I wonder if this was a play for the IP alone.
