Does any Samsung dealer have a pdf brochure of the new C406 A4 color? Apparently Samsung doesn't have them and my rep sends me something for a color printer that is not even close to the 406.
Thanks

Just got one for our showroom. Haven't played with it yet.
@fisher when you have a chance to play around with it can you shed some light on it. Our relationship with Samsung has soured a little since the dealer meeting and we are not ordering any more equipment right now. Working on selling what we have and reevaluating the situation. Our IT and Service guys keep finding quirks that come up with customers and have been creating problems in accounts.
Quite frankly I soured on them a bit too for the same reasons you mention. At first glance this machine fills a nitch that I don't have an answer to with my primary product line. Hanging in there hoping the HP takeover is a game changer and opens many doors doors. As for the current equipment I am not a fan. Keeping the Samsung name on the equipment moving forward is a mistake. The sooner they make us HP dealers and put HP on the front of the machines the better.
Thats interesting thought process. I tend to agree now. I mean I call my rep for this brochure and he says I don't have any. What kind of crap is that! I have a niche for that because now it seems us and a competitive canon dealer are always going against each other on deals and it tends to go down to the Canon C255 or C355 A4 Color and we end up fighting it down to lower margin etc. I can sell this Samsung if it turns out to be a decent product.
My impressions:
Nice display. Very nice doc feeder. Copy quality is decent. Speed is respectable. First copy is fast. Paper drawer is nice. The big question mark for me is the consumables and the build quality of the print engine. It may run great.......only time will tell but it sure seems cheaply made inside. I think I'd be afraid to do a service contract on this product that included any consumables. Its more like a Box Store type of machine but with the feature set of a dealer type unit.
@fisher I was thinking the same thing about the quality of the engine itself. It seems very cheap but I guess thats what we get for $1,400.00 or so. I hope this machine works well and they didn't miss the boat with this machine. The 8640 was a disaster and the 8540 was even worse....
@fisher How are these running now that it has been a while? What volume ranges seem to be a good fit?
Also, I don't know how you guys fared but we are not an HP dealer nor will we be one according to HP. We will only have access to the Samsung line and nothing else. Just heard that this morning.
Whole Samsung / HP thing is up in the air as far as I can tell. Supposedly we are an HP dealer now but who knows. Kind of in a holding pattern. As far as I'm concerned anything that says Samsung on the front door is discontinued product and just needs to be blown out of the warehouse. Its a botched transition if you ask me. Our industry is too competitive to lead in selling a product that is in limbo like this.....the competition would eat you up. I'm not going to risk a competitor beating me by putting doubt in the customer's mind over the serviceability of a Samsung product when Samsung is no longer in the printer and copier business. Huge mistake not having re-branding ready for the dealers on day 1 for their existing Samsung inventory.
I’m done with Samsung as of about 10 minutes ago. Just lost a deal because of “Samsung being bought by HP.” Showed the client Canon, Monica, and Samsung and she liked the color quality of the Samsung the best. Had a demo lined up for today and now she cancelled and said she was going somewhere else.
