Pro C550EX

I believe if you add the RT4000 LCT you loose the bypass tray. Not sure about question 2.

for 2) I think that your statement maybe true, it was an earlier generation high volume color system.

Can anyone else confirm?

Is this still a current product?

I am fairly certain now that a Fiery RIP does not have the ability to print in "Auto Colour". This can have a major negative effect on the Total cost of ownership.

I have been informed that Ricoh colour product in general does not have "Auto Colour" when printing. It is a copy feature but not a print feature. Is this true?

It is not a current product and can anyone help with to other question in reference to the Fiery RIP's ability to print auto color?

It is still listed as current on the Ricoh USA and Ricoh Canada websites. Are they just trying to quietly clear them out?

When you add a Fiery controller, regardless of brand, there is no auto colour. I was very surprised to learn about this Fiery weakness.

The question is can the Ricoh general line print in auto colour? I know they can copy in colour.

yes, the general line will print with auto color, black will register as black and color as color.

Dang I thought those Pro series were gone for a few years, they really stunk!

When are they going to replace this dated box.....it is like 4 years old isn't it?

I know that the MPC 6502/7502 replacement is close and yup theyshould replace that beast of a unit.

How close? Any details on whats changing in it?

I believe 30-60 days

Any more info on the C6502?

I've heard nothing and it's long overdue, will reach out to some resources.

Great!
thanks Art

The MPC6502 and MPC8002 are on the way soon. I believe a ProC5100s model too.

Last week I received the following from a Senior Production Print Business Manager

"I think 30k is pretty low to realize any savings in click charge. The 7501 is current today, scheduled to be replaced in mid June. The new model will be the office version of the Pro C5100 series, which would likely be a good fit for 30k."

can't come soon enough just lost xerox because of color quality and 13x19!

So there is a C8002 on the way?

Is this an addition to the C6502/C7502 MFP family that going to roll-out?

No more MPC7502 Just an MPC6502 and MPC8002 I think.

So the C8002 will be an office/departmental class MFP like the C7501?

80ppm? Wow.

Does anyone know if it will basically be the same design. Seems like there were not a ton of sales of the C7501 so what will make the C8002 any better recieved?

I am being told that it will not be a new version of the C7501 but instead it will be an "office version" of the new Pro C5100. Pricing may be as much as 10% higher than the C7501 as well.

I was told the new system is a clean sheet design, because the old engine was horrible!

Thanks guys, fantastic stuff.


So will the C6502 be based on the same engine as the C5100 as well or will it be an upgraded version of the C4502/C5502?

Yes the C5100/C5110 will be the Pro version of the C6502/8502.

Thanks.

This is great stuff.

So Ricoh914 - is it the C8502 or the C8002?

Also to confirm, the C5100/C5110 replaces the C500ex/C700ex?

5100/5110 replaces 550/700, 6502/8002 replaces 6501/7501.

And with this model there are actually some significant differences between the pro and office models so don't just sell them the pro one because it must be better.

For instance the warm up time is 60 seconds for office and 5 minutes for pro.

Any official launch date yet?
