The Week in Copiers 10 Years Ago This Week In 2010

 

The Week in Copiers 10 Years Ago This Week In 2010

Recently I signed up for my own lead service because I'd rather spend my time with those that are interested rather than making huge amounts of phone calls each week in a state where businesses are not back to normal.  Yes, some of the leads are crap and most are price buyers. I realize I will lose more than I win but just having the data points for that business with DM information is worth the extra dough spent.

New Product: Canon MFP MICR Printer

New Product: The Canon ImageClass MF4350D multi-function printer with a MICR Toner cartridge. Traditionally we’ve only sold HP printers, but we felt the Canon was a better printer on several fronts. Primarily Canon has better drivers that work better and don’t require as many resources. Canon actually manufactures HP LaserJet printers, so the quality is the same with either HP or Canon. Also Canon delivers more bank for the buck. The MF4350d includes print (23ppm), fax, scan, copy and duplex

Re: Ricoh Wide Format Equals Skid Row

Excellent analysis Art, thanks for this. I have only a few Savin/Ricoh wide formats in the last few years and not one in some time. I guess I stopped looking for new prospects due to the economy. My existing prospects are doing nothing right now. When something new does come out I hope times are better or it won't help much.

Re: Ricoh Wide Format Equals Skid Row

Spot on Art. Ricoh captured a lot of market share with the 240W, but had nothing to follow it up with. They need color scanning at the low end, real color scanning not a seperate add on color scanner. I think they also made a mistake moving away from the Ratio conrtoller. This controller gave added capabilities, printing and scanning, to more demanding users.
