Back in 2005 I was just 2 years into having a real web site for the copier industry. I started back in 2000 with an message forum with MSN communities. It was really cool because there was no on-line forum where sales people and principals could chat, share ideas, share war stories, share information, share competitive info and the list goes on and on. Twenty years later there is still no site like the Print4Pay Hotel. Did I do something right?
We're still the only site that allows members to communicate in a secure forums format along with blogs, press releases, quotes, leads and webinars.
Enjoy these really cool threads from 15 year ago this week!

We are proposing Savin 4035eSP vs. Canon 3570 - customer wants to print envelopes - canon has envelope feeder - Savin does 1 envelope thru the bypass - any tips on competing with this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: T-shirt transfer sheets

We have here a 1224c, CL7000 and CL7100. We print on heat transfer paper for t-shirts for over 8 months, and it is OK. We use heat transfer paper from "The Magic Touch Colour Laser Transfer Systems", and the prints is very good and the RICOH machines is OK. We print this type of paper only from by pass! Nobody from RICOH can tell you witch type of machine you can use for heat transfer paper, but from my experience with this 3 is OK. Only XEROX tells you that DC12 is recommended for use heat

document format and printer page-description language called Metro. Metro is aimed at Adobe's PDF document format and PostScript page-description language. Metro is also, though, tied to Longhorn's new 3D, vector-based presentation manager. Microsoft is creating a unified image display, portability, and printing solution. I believe this is the first time the company has ever made that a serious target. At one time, Microsoft attempted to take on Adobe with TrueType fonts, but this isn't just about

Re: Supply Question Savin Ricoh
I shall answer my own question. Yes and No. The Ricoh TYpe 185 will not fit the Savin 9918dp without modification. There are four tabs protruding from the side of the cartridge that is inserted into the machine. These tabs are staggered differently between the Savin and Ricoh models. However, two of the four tabs are common and one of them goes into the hole that has the switch for sensing the cartridge. So, you can remove two of the tabs (I suppose even three if you want) to make the

As usual the first of the year was slow. I know we are usually slow at the first of the year, but it still seems to sneak up on me! About three weeks ago we started cranking up and now we are really overloaded on the sales side, service has been thankfully moderate.

Re: CL7000 or CL7100

I have never done this however, you would load 12 x 18 paper into the by-pass and from there select the paper size from the application. Thus you should be able to print with no border. How I understand it is that the image will print full 11 x17 with no borders and then theuser (if they need to) will then trim the paper. Art

What do you all think about the price? My first thoughts, too expensive when compared to the Aficio 4510 product! The Aficio 4510 wholesale cost divided by speed equals $43.08 per print. The new AP900 is a whopping $143 per print speed! Doesn't make sense does it?

Re: Ricoh launches 75ppm printer
Do the same math on the 2045e vs the 2075. You get $260 vs. $373. That's the same $100 difference you got on the printers. I really don't think the methodology you are using is a good judge of value. Compare the price you pay for the extra 15cpm you get on the 2090 vs the 2075. The point is, you are paying for alot more than just speed. That having been said, I agree with you that they are overpriced...I just don't agree with the methodology you used to arrive at your conclusion.

Bite the bullet and add a CL4000dn at cost. It will feed envelopes from the tray and will also double as a very low cost B/W and Color printer. You should be able to throw one in for around $1K
