Innovative Ink From Xerox To Change Economics of Commercial Inkjet Printing

Could have also been because I only carried the Ricoh brand and back in 2006 they were not...

Re: MFP's, Copiers & The War for Ink vs Toner Devices

SalesServiceGuy ·
I have not yet competed against an A3 inkjet copier but I work with a dealer who has access to the HP line. He has one in stock but is unable to sell it yet. The last 10 A3 MFPs he sold were all laser. For quality prints, the HP needs premium paper. Customers are also very reluctant to leave toner based MFPs. They seem indifferent to the difference between Laser and LED technology. More than 50% of Xerox's current A3 product line is based upon LED technology.

Re: MFP's, Copiers & The War for Ink vs Toner Devices

SSG Thanks for the reply. I've seen the prints on both the Epson, and PageWide devices, they are very good when printing on regular bond. You are correct that the best image is with inkjet paper. It's my belief that once reps start showing samples and asking if color stays in house or leave the premise will dictate whether the rep shows ink or toner based MFP's. In addition Device Billing will come into play. That's where the client pays for the ink and a monthly charge for service with...

BTW, I had to argue with the demonstrator, he told me that when we put a letter size doc and a ledger doc in the document feeder that the letter document would skew because the guides on the document feeder were holding the ledger doc in place...
