This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 10 Years Ago Fourth Week of January 2005

There was not much happening in the news 10 years ago this week.  I thought I would do my own flash back for January of 2005.  I don't keep notes but with having data on the threads from the forums from 10 years ago, the threads do spark the memory.  Ricoh wide format was huge!!!  I for one was selling two of these each month and maxing out with Gross Profit.  I would day that the average gross profit was $7,000 per system.  Yes, it was good times!!!!  FYI, the picture on the left is Sandals in Saint Lucia!!

          If you quote Ricoh's published RMAP service pricing, you shouldn't ever get it rejected by the installing dealer. As a matter of fact, I'm quite certain that Ricoh's Dealer Contract obligates the dealer to accept it.

          27 votes were counted! 67% of you thought that should have added color scanning to the new 2051/2060 & 2070 series! 22% voted no and 11% voted "voted did not care". Ricoh, give us color scanning on B & W MFP's!

I am waiting,  I heard February for launch,  maybe RICOH will take their time with it though and not just throw it out to so they can recoupe some R&D costs.  like they did on the first B2C pieces..  What a nightmare.
