Can anyone email the Ricoh supported cost fact sheets for the new 3260. I am up against a Canon 6800 and they are quoting all inclusive, .0089 color and .0062 for black. Help!

Don't mean to nit-pick but the difference is pretty substantial.
You're right!, my bad .089 for color
It's on it's way...
Also, don't forget, the Canon 6800 is 68B&W/16 Color. The Ricoh is 60B&W/45 Color. The Canon is "convienience" color like the old 1224/1232 and the new 3224C. It is made to do no more than 30% color against 70% B&W. the 3260C can be just a color copier if you want it to be. Not the 30% color stuff.
Ricoh claims that you can do .07 on color and make money. The .0062 for black is the problem.
I got the cost fact sheet and the number for black is .0042 at a labor cost rate of $62.00 per hour. Even though we retail our service per hour at $125.00 I believe the cost for having someone in the field is pretty much right on with the $62.50 per hour.
With regard to the 0.0062 for black on the Canon. The actual cost (toner inclusive) for the Canon is 0.003 vs 0.0042 for the Ricoh.
