I heard to day that the epson plotters are no longer available from Ricoh? Can anyone else confirm?

The 7700/9700 have been discontinued (or so I understand) but there is still limited inventory. As for us being able to sell the rest of the line as we were supposed to be able, not sure.
Any word what Ricoh has planned for color wide format? I have an opportunity right now for a color wide format MFP. A shame they haven't gotten their act together on this.
It is immenent for launch in January, there are DSM's conducting webinars on this product now
Art, what's being launched in January?
inkjet wide format I believe the OEM is Mimaki
Thanks Art!
The system on the web ex was the new Ricoh CW2200SP Color wide format MFP, this is Ricoh's wide format version of the gelsprinter.
A point was made that the inks have been reformulated to prevent clogging of the print heads. I think it will be hard for any of us to forget the original gelsprinters that were horrific!
The only available option is an additional roll feeder and at $14k list, I think it's over priced. I have yet to see one in action, I'd like to see one in action, but it is truly one ugly system. Not to say it won't perform, but to say it has style and appeal is an understatement.
More to come on this.

The only thing I have found on it is the user's manuals which are on the web. Has our regular color touch screen display that is on the rest of the Ricoh line.
I have additional slides I can post if you want them.
