Mike ... perhaps you mean 20% coverage.
yes thats what I meant....regardless...the numbers are based on 5% for each color so when the customers does full bleed we are screwed. Also change your meter to copy rather than development...That could help. Well Canon & Monica must be in the same boat too!
Ricoh is telling us there is a national backorder on toner as well. I cannot believe they actually run out of toner. I have two units sold that I cannot install because we cannot get toner.
Same here the situation is critical.
You can put color units on CPC. No customer is coping at 5% or less.
G'Day all. You will get your yield based on the figures given by Ricoh. However it is important to understand the issues with coverage. Also bear in mind that coverage to useage are not proportional. A square block of colour on a page 100x100=1000, if you double the size of the square you quadruple the coverage 200x200=4000. Also dependant upon what you're printing will make a difference. 5% of text and 5% of graphics are different due to image processing and laying of toner and charge.
