Wide Format for AEC Market & New Features I Would Like to See

Art Post ·
If you've been selling wide format MFP's for some time I think you'll agree that the manufacturers have been slow on refreshing most models from most manufacturers. Aside from KIP with the recent introduction of the KIP 600 toner based color wide format MFP (multi-functional product), the others are just regurgitating the same tired outdated wide formats for the AEC (architect, engineers and construction) market. Five plus years is a long time to wait for a refresh of an existing model or...

To Ricoh "What I Want for Christmas 2019"

Art Post ·
I always like to start these Christmas blogs with a small story about Christmas tradition in other countries. On Christmas Eve, children, especially boys, often go out singing 'kalanda' (carols) in the streets. They play drums and triangles as they sing. Sometimes they will also carry model boats decorated with nuts which are painted gold. Carrying a boat is a very old custom in the Greek Islands. If the children sing well, they might be given money, as well things to eat like nuts, sweets...

Memoirs of a Copier Sales Person "The Hunt for Wide Format"

Art Post ·
I wasn't too excited that "The Hunt for Wide Format" was going to take place on a rainy day in Jersey. I had two choices, one was to start the hunt in the rain or go back to office and make phone calls. I choose to do the hunt because working the phone lately has been terrible. In addition I can't afford to waste time when you can't get DM's on the phone. My day started with a 9:30AM appointment with an existing account that has three separate equipment leases. I placed a courtesy call a few...

To Ricoh "What I Want for Christmas in 2017"

Every year, I like to put some interesting tidbit about Christmas from other Countries around the world. Austria Christmas Austria shares many Christmas traditions with its neighbor Germany , but also has many special Christmas customs of its own. During Advent , many families will have an Advent Wreath made from evergreen twigs and decorated with ribbons and four candles. On each of the four Sundays in Advent, a candle is lit and a carol or two might be sung! Most towns will have a...

This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago, The Second Week in June 2003

Art Post ·
I couldn't help my self and re-read the two HP threads from ten years ago. Back in the day, there was a saying that buyers used to clung too, the saying went like this. If I buy the Xerox, and even if it doesn't work, no one is going to fault me for buying the Xerox over the Japanese brand. I feel this is the same with HP, even if that HP plotter, printer of copier stinks, the buyer will never hear a word from anyone for not buying the other brand.

Three Ways to Protect Your Ricoh Wide Format Plotters

Over the years I’ve had many calls about how my clients can protect their Ricoh Wide Format Plotters.

In most cases what we recommend is not information that is available with the manufacturers user guide. Thus, we thought it would… Read More FYI, this is a link to my jersey plotter site, email me or Jesse if you need more info on how to make this happen

This Copier Changed My Sales Life 15 Years Ago this Week!

Art Post ·
It's late on Friday night, for most their work is over for the week. Me, I need to do updates and frankly I've been lagging in my blogging as of late. It's not because I don't want to write, it's mainly because there hasn't been something that triggered me to write. Nothing unusual in sales, nothing unusual in the field and I've had my nose to the grindstone looking to hit numbers. Until tonight when I needed to post up my series "This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago this Week" .

From Ricoh: A replacement for the W6700 that comes apart in such a way that it can simply be installed up a flight of stairs. Also as noted in about 6 months I'll start having leases come to end of term where I won't have a new product (from Ricoh) that I can offer them. I will have alternatives to offer my customers from another manufacturer. Ball's in your court Ricoh. A color wide format that is reliable and easy to load paper and can properly stack output. A replacement for the C401 that...

COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Sixty of Sales

Art Post ·
While most of the US continues to open the State of New Jersey continues to plod at a snails pace. Our Governor lifted the "stay at home" order however still instructed the masses that it's not time to go back to the office. WTF! A report surfaced last night that stated COVID19 could have been present in China as early as the summer of 2019. Again it's just a theory but sounds reasonable since the article spoke about satellite surveillance of hospitals and the marked increases of vehicles.

Hey Art! I’d be sad to see your daily posts go away, but I bet it’d be freeing for your time? It’s always interesting to hear what you’ve got cooking and your words motivate me to keep grinding harder. But with all you’ve got going on, I’d imagine a once per day post like you do takes half hour or more? Its crazy how time just slips away from you isn’t it? I had several phone calls today that should have been shorter and usually I would make them shorter, but you can tell the “work from...

@TML Thanx for support! Yes, 30-45 minutes for one blog, sometimes easy to write and sometimes it's hard to find the right words. All in all I enjoy writing them and trying to help others. We're all in this together, we all love what we do and sharing with others makes us all stronger. Wide format installs, yup we probably do need to find a rigging company also. Thanx again for the reply and hoping we can meet sometime in the near future. How is the baby?

5 Ways to Reduce Damp Paper in your Plotter

Art Post ·
Plotters and Wide Format Printers With summer brings the awful heat and humidity to New Jersey along with damp paper issues for plotters. Damp paper will cause print and copy quality issues because the toner and or ink doesn’t adhere to damp paper well. One of the ways to tell if the paper is damp is that the print of copy looks muddled or not a fully formed image. Our technicians refer to the issue as “blotching of the image”. Extreme high and low humidity can cause print & copy quality...

I always like to start these Christmas blogs with a post some sinppets about Christmas tradition in other countries. New Zealand Families traditionally gather for a Christmas Day lunch . Traditional foods include roast beef , turkey , lamb , salads and roast vegetables. More recently, as appropriate to the often hotter weather of the day, it has become popular to serve local seasonal produce such as cold meats and seafood (such as eel). Increasingly common, instead of a formal dinner...

Architect in New Jersey Selects KIP C600 Wide format printer

It was just about a year ago when Stratix Systems placed their first KIP C600 wide format printer with an Architect in Shrewsbury, New Jersey. Our client had a failing older Ricoh wide format plotter that was made about 50 prints per day. After 8 years of service the time was right to look for a new color wide format printer. Our client had three needs when looking for a new printer. First and foremost was the ability of the wide format to print in color. The other requirement was for decent...

Re: Five Reasons I’m Stoked about the KIP C600 Series Color Plotter

I think the KIP C600 has been replaced by the C650 with a Cdn dealer cost of around $21k so the price point is not for the majority of clients. KIP insists upon very expensive techncial training before they will ship product so that freezes a lot of dealers out of the market.
