I am trying to sell a gov't planning department an aficio 3800CD. The problem is that the director has HP on the brain and to make matters more difficult he had a bad experience with Ricoh printers over 10 years ago and wants to hold onto the memory. Do any of you printer guru's know weaknesses or downfalls of the HP8550 or could you provide any federal gov't references for the Ricoh?
Help
This could open a locked door.
Thanks as always,
John

How bout the US Post Office? How bout leading with this:

Not only do we have the standard PCL5e and PCL 6 printers but we also have a custom RPCS driver that is a ingenious...

and then go on to selling the benefits of the RPCS driver and desk Top Binder Lite. I recentley tried this and then at the end of the oresentation the client made sure that he asked that he would still be getting the print driver and RPCS. I actually sold the driver and the software "not the printer"

Art
3800CD (Soon to be the CL7000) = 38PPM B/W and 28PPM Full Color... 1200DPI

HP 8550 = 24ppm B/W and 6PPM Full Color 600DPI

You do the math Eek

If the 8550 speed is acceptable to him then you can have him look at the CL5000 which is going to blow away the HP on price and quality and has 36ppm B/W and 6 ppm full color.

On the other hand, HP is a hard one when you are up against it and have a beliver for a customer. We are in Boise where the HP Printer division is located and it is a tough sell for us as well.
