Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
Art, Is Ricoh just going to retire @Remote, or will they be replacing it with something, possibly a third party vendor like Printfleet? Thanks, Vince

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
What was stated to me was that their facilities manager product would be able to collect the tiered color billing and then report on it. All I heard was that @remote was going away. I was so surprised by the aspect of these new devices having the tiered that I did not even bother to ask about a replacement for @remote

I'm not sure about your source, but it's already in the Ricoh units, we found this about 4 months ago in the mpc305, the issue is getting it out of the system automatically for billing purposes. We use purpose software which can automatically cope with tiered billing.

Calums: Thanx for this, I see you're in the UK and the info I related to was that the tiered info came from a document there. My source was from Print Audit, but I wanted to make sure this was the case. We were talking about the latest upgrades to PA, and one of them was that their facility manager software is capable of taking those tiered color levels and putting them in a bucket so they could be billed. When you mention purpose software, what are you referring to? Thanx for the...

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
I've heard not that much except for something I heard is that since @ remote is going away Ricoh themselves does not have a program to extrapolate the billing. Again just something I hear, however Print Audits facility manager will do this as I understand.

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
Apparently, Ricoh Solutions guys aren't aware of this. I asked one of them, and he said there is an SP mode that has been around for generations that runs a report on clicks @ 3 different levels of coverage but that it's not for billing purposes.

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
Hey Guys, Few more questions. Anyone have any details on if the color CPC tiers are dealer-editable or pre-set and what the setting are? Similarly, are the CPCs set or dealer-editable? How is the coverage calculated, through device firmware or print audit or both? What devices is this available for?

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
O.K. I have found some information for you . Ricoh has introduced the 3 billing level since the MPC 2051 meaning all models after this introduction has these features ( MPC3001 .......) . Print Audit Facilities Manager can now detect and pick up these assignable threshold counters. Ricoh Dealer that are Premier Members or are using Facilities Manager can now compete with Xeorx and Kyocera promoting this type of billing. I have a brief set up how to for configuring the thresholds on Ricoh...

Paul: Do you have any marketing literature on this? This could be big for Ricoh Dealers and a large area of opportunity for Print Audit to sign up dealers that are using Print Fleet, FM Audit or other DCAs.

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
Be aware on this, we have been using this for over a year and the pit falls are. The percentage coverage is based on overall coverage not per toner, the biggest thing is the cost you offer it at, if 30% is in 0-5, 30% in the 6-10 and the 60% is above. What we have found is that the 60% and above is not just 11% coverage but 20-30%, so your copy cost doesnt cover this cost and you could lose money on the high end copy cost. The two lower tiers make you money but your margins are lower as 60%...

Re: Kyocera taskalpha 2250 release date
I'm not sure, I questioned someone about the model number an assumed it was a taskalpha, but it may be the system you mentioned. I need to call them back or stop in. Thanx for the info

Re: Kyocera taskalpha 2250 release date
There is the tasklfa 2550ci which is discontinued, or the taskalfa 2551ci. 2550ci doesn't have dsdp capability. 2551ci is much more versatile. There some other cool features.

Re: Kyocera taskalpha 2250 release date
Yes it is the 2551ci. It's a little smaller frame than the faster TaskAlfa's with a good price point. Fits the "I don't do a lot of color" but would like to have it" prospect.

Re: Kyocera Extends Award-Winning TASKalfa Technology Into Seven New Multifunctional Products
Just an FYI, I had the chance to inspect a previous model of one of these types of systems. I pulled out the paper drawer and I then realized that the cover of the paper drawer (which is plastic) had the feel of the same plastic that is used for garbage cans. Just my opinion and to me it doesn't bode well for the rest of the parts.

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
I wanted to resurrect this old thread to see if there are any Ricoh Dealers out there making use of the tiered level coverage area data that the Ricoh color devices now provide. We know that Xerox and Kyocera have had this capability longer than Ricoh but I'm not seeing it being utilized by anyone. Anyone running across it in their neck of the woods? If you are a Ricoh Dealer utilizing this, I would like to find out more about the when, where's and hows. I would also like to know what the...

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
I think it's something dealers are secretly scared of marketing & offering. They are afraid that it will result in lost revenue in margins, & they may be right. There are a lot of trends (no-minimum contracts, rules-based printing to reduce color volume, educated buyers, among others) in the industry right now that are putting the easy margins at risk. This is one of those topics that the few who figure out how to correctly position it as a differentiator will use to take their...

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
I have to respond to a municipal gov't RFP next week for 10 copiers and for the first time I am seeing a request to propose 3 Tier colour CPC pricing. Less than 0.5% colour, 0.5 - 7.5% and 7.5% plus. Ricoh Direct, Xerox Direct and a local Kyocera dealer are likely to respond. It is probably fair to assume that 0.5% colour will be the same cpc as black and 0.5% - 7.5% plus will all be charged the same rate. I calculate that those vendors who can offer 3 Tier cpc will only have to invoice...

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?
All great questions. I have not see any quotes from Ricoh direct or dealers offering tiered color rates. Does not mean it's not out there, maybe just not in my next of the woods. We do not offer it. "It is probably fair to assume that 0.5% colour will be the same cpc as black and 0.5% - 7.5% plus will all be charged the same rate." Black is a color right? Curious to see how that works also. If all color (including black) is lumped into one barrel, and the cost for .5 is .02 then that would...
