"* The last year brought Ricoh’s entrance into the color light production and mid-production space with the C900/C900s and the Pro C550EX/C700EX. Although the C900 looks like a solid first step into color production, there may be some growing pains (outside of IKON) due to dealers' lack of production experience/contacts and printers' existing brand loyalty/hesitations about buying a 1st generation system.

Does anyone see these replacing or beating Xerox/Konica/Canon systems?"

The answer to the question is "No."

The C900 is struggling mightily and the other competitive Products from Canon, Konica Minolta, and Oce are far superior.

Only IKON will have success with it's mandate to focus here and to win deals by continuosly lowering price. This will hurth them long-term as customers being sold these Machines will upgrade to someone other than IKON / Ricoh.
