Re: Top Ten MFP & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2016

Czech ·
Nice! I would like to contribute a few of my own predictions as well: Xerox will sell its MFP division to focus entirely on production equipment and business services. Toshiba Tec will not sell nor merge with Sharp. Toshiba is too much of a powerhouse in North America alone. Konica Minolta will continue opening up direct branches due to the rapid growth of their brand. These branches will quickly fall apart when they realize that the dealer model is more profitable. Samsung will start...

Sorry for being the bearer of gloom & doom, but I think Czech is either being either overly-optimistic or things in the Great White North are just different than in the Southwest USA. Here are my predictions: Lease volume trends based on UCC filings from EDA show that 2015 placements have fallen by over 13,600 since 2013 (almost 10%) & are now at levels nearly equal to 2009 & 2010. Faced with increased competition for fewer units running less volume due to digitization, dealers...

Re: Riso MZ790 info Old Glory · 1/4/06 9:28 AM biggest objection to Ricoh is that they are trying to compete in a multi-color arena with next to no colors available standard and no color chart to show what the output is going to look like.

Top Ten Copier & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2020

So was 2019 a good year or a not so good year for the imaging industry? If I'm thinking about my personal results then 2019 was awesome and one of the best ever. I think 2020 will prove to be one of the biggest years yet for change in our industry. Change is good, right? I'm sure there will be at least two or three bombshells with one of them happening in late January 2020 and then another in late March to early April 2020. None of my predictions came true in 2019 and that's because I didn't...

Toshiba Corp does not own the majority of shares in Toshiba Tec Corp. Toshiba Tec is an independent corporation and owns 51% of its shares therefore controlling its own destiny. Toshiba Corp owns the remaining 49%. NineStar remains highly leveraged from its $3.6B 2016 acquisition of Lexmark and has fully tapped two lines of credit to keep operations functioning smoothly. NineStar can access unlimited funds from the Chinese gov't to fund future acquisitions under the China 2025 initiative.

Re: Top Ten Copier & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2020

Frank Vasquez ·
I agree with SALESERVICEGUY on his Toshiba/Lexmark comment, and the relationship between Toshiba and Lexmark has been very strong for a dozen+ years. I was actually a bit shocked that Lexmark re-labeled KM instead of Toshiba for their A3 products. The Toshiba product line has always been strong, and the newest series does NOT disappoint. The issue with Toshiba is that they have been resistant to investing the resources to offer a complete Toshiba-made, e-Bridge lineup from A4 all the way to...
Comment

Re: Top Ten Copier & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2020

SalesServiceGuy ·
Expect a Toshiba Tec manufactured A4 product line maybe as early as April 2020 using the same eBridge Next operating system as the current A3 product line. The current "Toshmark" e478s/e389cs/e479cs product line sells well and will continue. These Lexmark models can currently use the Toshiba original Universal 2 print driver. I would not expect any news or interest in the Production space from Toshiba Tec.
Comment

Re: Top Ten Copier & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2020

Frank Vasquez ·
Yes - Toshiba is introducing two A4 units, I believe, and from what I hear, they are not much smaller than their A3 cousins. While I have heard claims they did this to minimize CPC's, it is probably because Toshiba did not want to invest in creating a whole new product line, rather tweak an existing one. It is wait-and-see time. Question is, will it fit on a desk/credenza? As to Production, I am well aware of Toshiba's lack of vision/desire in that arena, as I tried for years to push for...

Re: Top Ten Copier & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2020

I am not aware of the specific details on the new approx April 2020 Toshiba Tec A4 designs. I do know that Toshiba Tec is moving away from SED-HDD towards a SSD in their products. Toshiba Corp is a world leader in SSD technology so expect something interesting in that area. If the new A4s are going to be larger than a tabletop that would partially explain why the Toshmarks will remain in the product line. I know Toshiba Tec is working on a tighter integration with these models. The Toshmarks...
