Ten years ago this week KonicaMinolta exiting the camera business, and boy oh boy did they make the right move.  A recent thread here on the Print4Pay Hotel forums mentioned KonicaMinolta's jump into the robotics industry.  I believe the article stated KonicaMinolta needed to move towards "more fertile" ground as the imaging industry continues to contract.  It's all about the consumables and I'm sure "bots" and robots will need plenty of those!  Enjoy the threads from ten...

From the amount of threads there was some awesome activity. While reading through one of the threads, I noticed the Samsung SCX 6345N. For me, this was the start of the A4 multifunctional era. I believe cost for the 45ppm device was somewhere around $1,900 with MSRP about $4,000. Not much room for margin, however I can remember acquiring many net new accounts with the Sammy because there was no need for 11x17. Funny, it's ten years later and many manufacturers still refuse to give us full...
