Re: Konica Minolta Delivers High-Quality, High-Speed Prints with bizhub PRO 950
At first glance the PRO 950 is now a slowed down version of the Pro1050. There will also be the new PRO1200 there. The one I'd love to see is the C65hc. From what I hear is will knock your socks off. Please, whoever is going, report back on what's there and who seems to be getting a leg up.

Re: Who Will Be #1 in Market Share for 2009?
Apr 22, 2009 10:03 AM In the annual Gartner U.S. copier market report for 2008, Ricoh Americas Corp. (West Caldwell, NJ) holds the number one spot for a second straight year in the combined black-and-white and color copier segment with a 21.4 percent market share. Ricoh leads the pack for the sixth consecutive year with a 22.2 percent stake in the individual color copier market. In the black-and-white copier category specifically, it came in second with a market share of 21.1 percent. These...

i agree with the above, customers now asking about biometrix. Also would like to see Ricoh clean up the report options w/ user codes and a USB Scan to Print feature.

For the biometric scan, we use Ringdale typically as part of their Follow-Me Printing solution if you're familiar with that.

Re: Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On
Chuck, with the current "troubled times" (words from Frank Cannata on the latest Live Wire / Cannata Report) at Ricoh, it now makes sense that either Savin or Lanier, or both brands, get elimintated. Just as GM sells Hummer and gives Saturn to the Penske group. It is a shame that on the 50th Anniversary of Savin, started in 1959, it's existence may disappear. I thin it will be Lanier for Dealers and Ricoh for IKON and RBS. The other option is Ricoh only, all the way, for both Dealers and the...

Re: Toshiba Launches Social Business Network Designed to Connect Sales, Service and Corpo
Old Glory does indeed make a valid point, in that Ricoh Dealers will need the p4p hotel (RFG Message Board) to share ideas on how to survive as a Ricoh Dealer with their new focus on IKON and future support of IKON. It is going to be a battle out there during the next year and a forum to report on RFG / IKON practices, competitive situations, shake-ups, and new product offerings will be critical.

Re: Backorders! Why?
Jim - I only get this report when I scream loud enough to our corporate office about backorders (like I've been screaming about the 240W). I will make available every time I see one. I think...our purchasing agent gets this info from our East Region Allocations people at Ricoh - I would think they would provide this info to anybody on an allocations list for backorders?

Re: Pay Plan
Dave: We thought of something quite similar at one of our weekly meetings. The thought to establish a base price for cpc was a great idea. Here are our sticking points. A. All new sales for systems would have to be under a monthly cpc plan. This means no more year plans for new customers. As older yearly MA's become available do they change over to monthly cpc's or do they now remain a "house account"? If they do convert to a monthly cpc, how can you justify an increase? B.

Re: Is anyone having problems with the 350/1035/2035 series?
Ricoh's mid volume machines are the weak point for Ricoh. I work on Konica minolta and those are no picnic either. We use the BEI services compensation plan for our bonuses. The worst copier according to the BEI report is our 5645 Lanier model (Ricoh equivalent???). The only mid volume products that produce good revenue and reliability are the Bizhub c350/450 models.

Re: Question to Print Audit on PA Forum
Hi Art, Unfortunately, this is a known limitation of Print Audit 5. Plot Client WIN (and other similar plot-submission tools) bypass the Windows print drivers when they generate multiple copies the file you are plotting. As a result, Print Audit 5 can only detect the first copy being generated, and will only report that one page was printed. While there is currently no way to have Print Audit automatically track the number of plots being generated, there are a couple of workarounds that you...

Re: print tracking
Sorry to ressurect an old topic, but I've been working on this recently and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. You can implement a solution that tracks prints at the server level as Vince suggested. This works fine as long as your mac users have a login on the w2k server. It will report who and what printed. The issue is that it can't track anything else. If the customer has project codes or additional information to input, they will need a solution that includes Macintosh support. Equitrac...

All you have to do is look at the competitive analysis (See Attached) between the Ricoh C4503 and C6502 against the competitors from Canon, Xerox, and KM to see how much of a difference True Adobe PostScript makes in the printing speed. Emulation machines are noticeably slower, to the point that you could argue that a lesser Ricoh needs to be proposed in order to compare accurately.

Re: Cannata Awards Recipients
I agree Rick Taylor has done a superb job at KM but I think he does win it every year. Rightfully so in my opinion, but I also believe Cannata uses the same dealers every year. Since I met them a couple years ago and we use 4 or 5 partners on the lists now we have been included in the voting for the last 2 years.

Re: Cannata Awards Recipients
Ty for the comment, I think the same about Taylor. So, unless those dealers change who they use as third party supplies, none of the other will ever get on the list.
