Re: B2C defined

cmarkowski · 8/17/0710:37 AM

Correct. B2C means "Black to Color." This term was created about 5 years ago to designate the "next big thing" in the industry, which was the move from black & white output to color output in the office. Sort of along the lines of "A-to-D" for the Analog to Digital transition. I think the results of the last few years are proof that this revolution has happened (and is still happening). And to re-iterate what Eddie 2 Times said, Ricoh color MFPs can be used in a B2C environment (traditionally

Re: B2C defined

Eddie2Times · 8/16/071:55 PM

Allow me to comment on this for a moment. Ricoh B2C is a strategy, not a product. The conecpt of B2C came about as an effort to transform B&W customers into color. The B2C strategy was to offer a system that was equivalent to B&W systems in every feature and function, with comparable B&W CPC. Most importantly, systems like this did not need a color specialist to sell as typical customers were just looking to make sure reference colors were in place (ie red apples, blue sky, and green grass

Re: SP4110N Envelope Crinkling

CopyFax Jax · 8/15/075:38 PM

I have never seen a Ricoh printer (or any other laser printer) consistently produce printed envelopes without creasing the paper. 3 "flaps" of paper going thru pressure and heat - like ironing shirt collar. Humidity seems to affect this more than anything else. GelSprinters won't wrinkle your envelopes. It doesn't appear you can select number 10 size envelopes. I think you will have to input the length and width as a custom size.

Re: B2C defined

Shaja · 8/10/071:58 PM

Two things going on there. B2C is about how the b&w and color clicks are handled. Basically, a b&w machine that also has color. Some color copiers can't separate out the solely b&w clicks and charge the color cpc for every click. B2C can make the distinction and charge accordingly. "Creative color" is marketing spin to cover the fact that Ricoh B2C color isn't as good as some other manufacturers, such as Konica Minolta's. Our Ricoh trainer guy also used to say "pleasing color" or "office color

Re: B2C defined

Neal · 8/10/076:02 PM

well said Shaja, bit depth is far more important to quality color than resolution. if you have 8 bit 600X600 your quality will be much better than a 2 or 4 bit with a resolution of 2400X1800. Like a Konica minolta guy told me on resolution you can only put so many dot in an inch until they start to just pile up whereas the bit depth has to do with the color variation per pixel.

Aficio 2232 Fax forwarding subject line ?

8/14/078:24 PM

When setting up the aficio 2232 or any Ricoh product is there a way to set a default subject line for scan to email or fax forwarding to email. Customer had a Toshiba machine and liked that the Toshiba could be programmed to include the fax number of a fax that came in on before forwarding to an email account. The message included the fax number of the incoming fax in the body of text of the email. Also for scanning to email can the subject line be defaulted to a certain message ?

Re: Aficio 2232 Fax forwarding subject line ?

CopyFax Jax · 8/14/079:47 PM

I am not sure about the forwarded fax message including the sending fax machine number. I know the default subject for the MP series color machines can be changed to whatever the end user needs. The sending fax machine should transmit the fax information along with the fax so any image printed/viewed should display the fax number anyway. Either way, the current B2C Ricohs are tough to beat in a lot of areas.

Fiery E-8000 Controller

Mike N · 6/15/077:57 AM

We have our first E-8000 Fiery controller in the field on a Ricoh 5560 and when the scanning function is used it locks up the machine and needs to be rebooted. Is anyone experiencing similar problems and does anyone have these in the field that are running with printing and scanning without any problems?

I believe cost for the 45ppm device was somewhere around $1,900 with MSRP about $4,000. Not much room for margin, however I can remember acquiring many net new accounts with the Sammy because there was no need for 11x17. Funny, it's ten years later and many manufacturers still refuse to give us full featured A4 devices that can staple, three hole punch and multi-folding.

Just to give you an idea of the kind of variation there is, I went to the BTA compensation Survey of 2007. According to their survey, the median compaensation for a salesrep with 6+ years experience was $127,500/yr with a maximum of $422,377 for a rep in the West vs. $54,000/yr. and $104,000 for a rep in the Southeast. There is a significant difference in the cost of living which effects both the employee and the employer and therefore also effects compensation.

The prospect is replacing an HP Professional series inkjet 1200c. This printer does 11 x 17, which is about 25% of their already small volume. If I had to guess I'd say under 2k/month, all color with mixed coverage, but probably an average of 15%. I borrowed some info I found on the net and found that so far the competition is working on laser products that do 11 x 17, putting them over $3000.
