Re: Ricoh CW2200SP monthly volume
It's target Average Monthly Volume is almost 1,200 LF per month, so you should be fine. Hopefully, their page page coverage is low, because those print heads and ink add up quickly.

Re: Ricoh CW2200SP monthly volume
How much are print heads? I got a price from Parts that part # D6702011 (black head unit) is $966.67. I have a 2200 that is giving me white streaks in the blk/gray areas, not much wear on it. thx.

What is the square feet meter on this unit? The price is for one print head correct?

Re: Ricoh CW2200SP monthly volume
If the unit is not that old, maybe there ia warranty on the print head. The brochure states one year for parts.

Your customer will hate you. I wouldn't do it. Someone doing 500 sheets a month will go apesheet when they see the mess that machine makes when prints hit the exit basket.

Re: Sales, how is everyone doing?
Art, We had a nine month run where we MADE our sales numbers every month. Then we were slightly off in August (but better than last August). I think Sept will be back on track and we expect to end the year well. So 2013 has been significantly better than 2012, at least for us. Vince

I'm about 105% of a $900k YTD quota & should finish the year over 100% of plan. Not nearly good as last year, but still a good year.

Re: Sales, how is everyone doing?
For those of you who are KILLING IT out in the field, what percentage of your sales is from net new business and what percentage is from base?
Reply
Re: Sales, how is everyone doing?
I'm running at 91% of plan right now, we track net new business especially this year. I'm about 43% and the number #1 with our four branches.

Re: Sales, how is everyone doing?
YTD 70% of my sales have been Net New vs 30% Upgrade. Q4 will have a lot of Upgrade, so it will probably end up being 50/50 for the year.

Re: Sales, how is everyone doing?
50% of plan YTD. Not happy about it but I'm working towards a good Q3 ending and a strong Q4. Still have my eye on the prize of hitting 100% of quota. <script id="overlay_tmpl" type="text/html">// <![CDATA[ <divid="<%= overlayId %>"class="_mp3rocket_overlay_style"style="left: <%= overlayLeft %>; top: <%= overlayTop %>; width: <%= overlayWidth %>; height: <%= overlayHeight %>"></script>// ]]>

Re: Ricoh Wide Format update
Just had a customer with a lease on a 3601 come to end of term. I had nothing to offer him other than the same thing he already had for the past 4 years. Trail went cold and meanwhile KIP is kicking our butts.

Re: Ricoh Wide Format update
I just got a notice that the W5100 and 7140 are now on inventory depletion, all the while I still have nothing new to offer my customers.

Re: Ricoh Wide Format update
I have heard the 3601 replacement is to be a de-featured 5100 like beast which would be wonderful.
Reply
Re: Ricoh Wide Format update
How much de-featured can it be? Unless they make print & scan an option. Use a single roll feeder. I mean what else could you cut? At this point in time I don't believe anything about Ricoh wide format.

Re: Ricoh Wide Format update
here's the rub, will they move the speed to 8ppm or 6ppm? That's my question. I can see a difference in speed from 14ppm to 6ppm. For some reason I feel that they will go with 8ppm and not 6ppm. If that's the case, then we're no better than before. Don't get me wrong, I want 6PPM, however, I do not believe anything I hear about wide format from Ricoh anymore. Art

Looks like 7 D's a minute ! And if you look at the cost in Yen, a price Increase???

Well, that would stand to reason since it's 7 pages a minute, if this holds true, wide format is really dead with Ricoh, you have a link for it?

I saw 6.7 per minute, could be 7, the price of 2,450,000 yen equals an MSRP of $21,656. Still way over priced for system that can't compete with KIP or Oce
Reply
Re: Ricoh Wide Format update
I won't be impressed until I see a launch packet and a price point that can actually compete with the Kip and Oce. I've been hearing for over a year now something is coming. Heard it from Corridi face to face last March at a meeting and several other times.

Re: Ricoh Wide Format update
The biggest thing that jumps out at me with this product is that you are not carrying this machine up a flight of stairs. With the current model you can separate the main body from the roll base and you can muscle it up a flight of stairs. I have at lease half a dozen installs currently where the machine is on a second floor with no elevator.

Re: Me, Sadaaki, Mitsuhrio & Brian
Hi Art, I couldn't agree with you more about the stacking issue. The Tameran is a nice option to have, but it is not the most ideal for creating a "compact" footprint. Glad you were able to give them this feedback.

Re: Ricoh Plotworks "Way To Screw Up the W3601" Updated!
Excellent analysys Art, I appreciate your taking the time to let us know the latest on this fiasco. It makes sense why they did it now that you explained it so well, but I would wager it will bite them later when sales plummet. I kind of gave up selling wide format due to getting kicked by Oce a few times and then the price increase. I did sell a Savin 3406 before the software mandate and it replaced a 2404 with Ratio that they got tired of paying for updates. They do not need the benefits...

Re: Ricoh Plotworks "Way To Screw Up the W3601" Updated!
I totally agree with you on this one. As of this morning I am seeing the new CW2200 as it is being setup, I am thinking, is this the best that Ricoh can come up with? In my opinion it will only cheapen the Ricoh name with this unit that looks like it is several different pieces that are now married together to create this unit. As you stated, Ricoh made decisions without consulting any of the Rep's that are actual in the field listening to the end user. I started selling Ricoh's wide format...

Color 1: We need to give Ricoh some credit at least with the 240W, it was the game changer of it's time, problem is that Ricoh sat on their thumbs ever since and all of those great people that supported and launched the 240W are no longer around!

Re: Ricoh Plotworks "Way To Screw Up the W3601" Updated!
Despite wide format volumes in the AEC world dropping the market still expects a certain level of job submission capability. It doesn't have to be at the level of PLP or ReproDesk, but I would hate to be going into a demo either: a) Justifying charging a significant % of the capital cost for something Xerox (AccXES), Océ (OPS) and others give away; or b) Trying to convince the customer he doesn't need job submission. I wrote a job submission tool (ReproRog.NET) some years ago and keep it up...

Working on a W3601 quote and wasn't sure if there had been any price changes since all the plot works discusion last year?

Re: Ricoh Plotworks "Way To Screw Up the W3601" Updated!
Kitz The average price increased by about 1,200 with the addition of Plotworks. It is a powerful piece of software. I recommend downloading the FAQ from the aficio league anduse many of the value points.

Re: W3601 pricing
My pricing is roughly $100 less than that, so your pricing doesn't seem to be outrageous. Ricoh screwed the pooch by requiring PlotWorks.
