Re: Kyocera finally launches color inkjet PPS
Due to image quality, is recommended for transactional, transpromotional and direct mail applications.....Reminds me when I used to sell Riso and we made this disclaimer!!...Not great copy quality but if you are wanting something that is cheap and fast, we have it for you!!

Re: Kyocera finally launches color inkjet PPS
That's a shame! Was really hoping to hear about some kick ass color print quality

Re: Kyocera finally launches color inkjet PPS
Very curious if this will fly, I'm concerned over how long it took to launch and if there were issues of some sort. We are a Kyocera dealer so we will be hearing more about it soon.

Re: Kyocera finally launches color inkjet PPS
The vacuum lct looks like the Ricoh LCT. Any chance Ricoh will rebrand this like Kyocera did to the 8200 series?

Re: Kyocera finally launches color inkjet PPS
Yup, agreed I heard from Kyocera peeps that many of the accessories are the same as the Ricoh accessories. I'd love to see the print quality on this printer. Kyocera send me some print samples!

Re: Kyocera to launch new Color Print Production System
Is this what RICOH will get for selling the Rebadged 8300 product to Kyocera? When will Ricoh have a B/W machine to take over the Kodak spot?
Reply
Re: Kyocera to launch new Color Print Production System
Ricoh has their own ink production unit, from what I know this device is only OEM's by Kyocera. I've heard nothing about a replacement for the Kodak spot at this time. I do know that Ricoh is investing heavily in the P4P arena, my guess is we'll see more devices soon

Re: Kyocera to launch new Color Print Production System
It’ll be interesting to see what Kyocera can do with it. I’m wondering if their dealer network, aside from a handful of mega dealers are equipped to sell it. Don’t the mega dealers already have a commitment to a production product? How many production products can a service department take on? After all it’s not like they have direct operations to give it away when the layers of dust on the boxes in the warehouse get so thick you can’t read the model numbers. Hey maybe Impression Solutions...

Re: Kyocera to launch new Color Print Production System
I don't see it either with the dealers and direct locations. Maybe it's a play to have another manufacturer pick the box up. Unless the price is unreal it would be hard to sway those that are already on board with Ricoh (dealers can't sell their ink production as far as I know), Canon, KonicaMinolta. Guess we'll have to wait and see

Re: Kyocera to launch new Color Print Production System
Are there many earlier adopters in light production print, especially from a company that is new to the space? Kyocera might as well try to sell dump trucks because they make automotive sensors. I’m thinking Mack dealers wouldn’t be to worried and neither are the current makers of big iron. Kyocera struggles to make a quality color toner based product for office use or even desktop color printers. If I sold against them, the augment would be, if toner based technology eludes them, why try...

You're correct no cut sheet yet from Ricoh, the VC60000
