Hi, all! I have learned recently that envelopes are a weakness of Ricoh machines. So now I am wondering what weaknesses the other brands (KM, Toshiba, etc) have. I know color on Ricoh is supposed to be the best, but besides that, are there any specific problems with other machines that I can point to when selling Ricohs? Thanks!

I am going in with a 2550C (C9025 Savin) and this looks strong. Has Postscript3 standard and print from USB. We have to add PS3 to print from USB, which is not listed as a feature but I understand from previous posts that we can do that with a download. CPC for color at 6.5 cents, I saw the contract.

tdarvin, AMEN to what Art said. When you get right down to it, all copiers these days do basically the same thing. Learn to differentiate you and your dealership's services (maintenance, leasing, customer care). And as far as whose color is the best, please do not buy into that whole chest-thumping thing. Darn, I get tired of reps trying to "out-color" each other! Talk to a Xerox rep and they can spin why Xerox color is better than Ricoh's. Talk to a Canon rep and they can spin why Canon color

A few weeks ago, Ricoh cut 40 to 50 positions in their Dealer Divison, out of about 120. This is estimated to result in a total cost savings of $5M by the 33% reduction in staff. Has anyone heard that Sharp layed-off 30% of their dealer support personnel last Monday (12/13/10)?

Sold one of the C901's to a customer who had been using Xerox for the past 10 years. Almost all of the shortcomings of the C900 (Banding on solid colors, fuser oil streaks, etc.) were addressed with the C901. I've been with RICOH now for 10 years and I can actually say that our color is now as good or better than Xerox and Canon on mid-prodcution units under $100k.

Just to review, sell yourself, sell your services, find a knock out feature, or a knock out workflow (meaning on the zebra xyz copier, they may have to use 15 click throughs of the mouse for a certain print setting, or they may have to go through 5 sub menus to get to a much used mfp feature). Do, the homework and remember the harder you work, the luckier you get. Art

I set up two C4501s this week. This law office has two workstations that are Win7 pro 64 bit. The rest are XP. There are no cotton-pickin drivers for this series on Ricohs site. And the C5501 isnt even listed. I'm going back today and will try the Univeral print Driver (64bit). I have never used it before.

Dude, that Universal print driver worked like a charm. Looks just like the PCL 6. I usually install the 5c but these machines are replacing two C6501's that are off lease and they are used to the PCL6. Also I got an email from Ricoh support in answer to the lack of drivers question. They pointed me to Ricoh-AP.com (Asia Pacific) and all the drivers are there. Nice save, Ricoh.

Envelopes are not an issue on the color machines if you run them with the flap open on the old models. The newest models just seem to work if you have the paper type set properly. Honestly I haven't seen many copiers or laser printers that do a great job with envelopes other than HP's larger printers with the envelope feeder.

You now get license keys via the TSC website. Ricoh was having to pay for every license whether it got used or not and was about to scrub the program. This was a way for them to only have to pay for licenses that actually get used.
