Those were good times indeed. Big commissions and big points on the Ricoh credit card to boot. Very short lived though. I was doing one or two wide formats a month in addition to all of the mid-volume color machines that customers were buying. By 2008 it was over and the wide format market has never recovered. In the past 12 months I've sold 4 wide formats and only one was a brand new unit.

I agree with you, by 2008 the big Aficio points and the big commissions were gone. All of the other manufacturers caught up with the technology. In addition Ricoh rested on their laurels with the 240W and waited way to long to bring an upgrade to the market place. I average about 1.5 new wide formats per month, GP is significantly down, but it's now a decent revenue generator. The Ricoh MP W6700SP is now three years old and needs a refresh. What does Ricoh have in the works?

Hopefully whatever they replace the 6700 with is another compact machine that can be carried up a flight of stairs like the old 240 was.

It was Monday , under the sign of Pisces . The US president was George W. Bush (Republican). In that special week of March people in US were listening to So Sick by Ne-Yo . In UK It's Chico Time by Chico was in the top 5 hits. Inside Man , directed by Spike Lee , was one of the most viewed movies released in 2006 while Micah by Laurell K. Hamilton was one of the best selling books. But much more happened that day: find out below.. March 2006 Re: 2051 duplex copy from bypass? 3/17/06 4:06 PM...

Interesting first thread here "Have we won already over HP?".  Holy cow, it's been ten years since the infamous launch of the....?  Can you remember the name of that device? Alas, for the life of me I can't remember either. Someone help me...

While I was scrolling down on this weeks threads from ten years ago, I saw the threads for the Aficio MPC2500, MP C3000, MPC3500, and MP C4500. Hard to believe that these systems are ten years old now Another old but goodie was the introduction of the variable print head for the Seri Model 25. The variable print head was actually an HP print head/cartridge that was located in the Seri Model 25. Never sold the VPPH model, however I did sell a few of the Seri Model 25, in fact I just sold a...

Interesting thread from ten years ago is the thread about Padded Lease Rates! Ethical or Unethical. Personally. I've never been a fan of this, and I also think it's theft by deception. Call it what you want, I also believe there should be some type of regulation especially when a "price" is published and or agreed to and then the lease rate is padded and the price is not what was stated. Enjoy these threads!! Topic Weekend Notes from the Copier Industry for 9/30/07 10/1/077:46 PM next 12...

One of the more interesting threads below is from Gordon MacKay from Queensland, Australia. Gordon posted a thread in reference to his existing dealership and his past experience in the copier industry. It was awesome to re-visit this thread. Gordon, if you're still out there, shoot us a reply. That thread is here Japan's Konica Minolta 11/5/06 6:42 PM multifunctional models, especially in Europe," company director Yasuo Matsumoto told a news conference. Konica Minolta also raised its...

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" .
