Why Color?

Hey Ricoh guys. I recently became a member of the site and have learned a lot! I need some help though. I am competing with Xerox on a color deal. The prospect is doing around 10K per month color, 20K per month b/w and would like to staple duplex. Xerox is doing CPC program, which is really one of my main stumbling blocks. What would you guru's suggest as solution? Thanks, Chris

Need more info in my opinion. Are you competing against the C40 or the 3535? Are the color applications graphic arts or business quality?
How is the color being done currently?
How important is speed? Do they need to print on thick or coated stock? Will it be a copier only or copy/print solution? Do they want color scanning? Is there much potential for mixed color and B&W originals within a single file?

We have so many very different solutions now so the fact finding is much more critical. The 2232C, CL7000CMF and the 6513 could all be potential fits depending on the answers to these questions.

Here you go!!!!

Thanks!

Hey Chris, you might remember me. I used to compete against you in Wilmington. I was with your old buddies!!!! you can probably guess who that is. I think that you used to work for them.

Why can't you do a cpc?

Does anyone happen to have any additional or updated informati

on on why color - why business color or anything along those lines?

Thanks
