Re: Aficio 700 Needed!
Office Equipment Group has not come through with promises to me in the past but on 8/29 they advertised two units: AF700 with LCT and Finisher - 488K - $4,800 AF700 with LCT, Finisher, NIC, and Print - 143K - $6,645. However, in their fax dated 9/16, these units are no longer listed. I give them here for representative pricing purposes. They carry lots of Ricoh so you might give them a call.

The only thing that I heard at the end of last year was that Xerox did away with their wide format sales force and just have anyone selling wide format...never had it confirmed as true or false though. I wish Kip made all other wide format systems period....they are such pieces of junk

I have a customer interested in a IS450DE VRS scanner. Is anyone familiar with this machine or have they sold one where they have had to configure it. We do not have any pricing on it and Ricoh does not seem to know much about this either (or at least our Mgr). Would be interested to see the price difference between this and the IS450DE

Re: P4P WIDE FORMAT COLOR

There are no laser based wide format color systems out there from the major manufacturers. If there are, they are price prohibitive. What your customer would find would be a couple of systems to meet his or her needs. Oce has a TCS400 system which is a separate scanner, controller and printer. They can scan the color document and direct it to print on the inkjet printer. No doubt an expensive output solution because it is ink based. Probably looking at the $40,000 range for this one. The other

Re: VCGL Format...HELP!!!

I wish I could...but there is alot riding on this. Ricoh is working on it, and if they can do it, it would be worth it. The biggest problem is that they would want to see it in action before they bought...so I was hoping for a decent solution that wouldn't involve cost. Are you still trying to find a converter for it John?

No plans in the near future for Ricoh to come out with any type of color wide format system. They do have 4 new systems coming in the next 18 months and there is talk of a color scanner option but that is all that I have been able to gleen from our wide format product manager. Also... it looks as if we will have an affordable digital replacement for the FW870 om the next 90 days! Graham

The trade-up bonus that Ricoh gives us on the 1055 & 1060 is $600 for stand alone and $900 for connected if you are replacing competitive machines. The 1075 is $1,000 and $1,500 respectively for competative machines. You get a $1,200 trade-up for the 1075 only against Ricoh Base machines whether it's connectd or not. You're right, it doesn't sound fair. Who should we contact? Lori Grissom?

Re: Bates Stamping
alternative as long as you are talking to someone who cares about expenses. Also keep in mind that not only are they saving administrative costs, but they are also charging their clients for the service which they will probably continue to do. The combination of these two factors may be able to make a case for a 2090 when the volume only necesitates a 2045.

Re: Bates Stamping
FYI on the 2090/2105 Bate Stamping Solution. You cannot currently have both the Bate Stamping and Scanning available at the same time. They end up being mutually exclusive. Ricoh is trying to create a workaround or resolution.

From a good source: A Xerox client has had the system for a month are not happy! This user has seen more calls in three weeks than they had in the last 6 months of their old system (Doc 12). The system is constantly jamming, a fuser jam requires a tech to remove. Heavy stock comes out with a serious curl to it, making it unacceptable for resale.

A customer has tried to run the Avery #5884 gloss stock on the 1224SP and has failed. Smearing and dark bands. I suggested that the customer change the paper setting to "cardstock", change the quality to "High" and select the "DTP" quality setting. I have sent an email to Avery to find out what the stock is made out of. Will report when I hear from them. Avery states on the cover and I quote: "Guranteed performance in many HP, Lexmark, Textronix and other popular laser printers:. They go on to
