I've heard the same thing here in the uk.Supposedly using the Ricoh Charis machine.Also heard they are launching a 150 cpm mono inkjet developed themselves
I work on both the ricoh production ProC7110 and the full line Kyocera's,if the placement is right the Ricoh Pro's do a good job other than the booklet finisher I'm told,The problem is design wise Kyocera and Ricoh are pretty far apart and the Maintenance procedure etc. on the Ricoh is kind of old school Unit rebuild type thinking whereas the Kyocera is Unit replacement centered for the most part.Ricoh allows a "skilled" customer into some of the tech settings area for adjustment by the key op,not good if you ask me,also Ricoh has a TCRU program that allows customers to replace parts themselves,Drums,Drum and Transfer belt cleaning unit,fuser,etc.,also not good if you ask me,but the registration and copy quality on these machines is pretty good,registration is so spot on that Ricoh actually suggests running copies back through to add an extra layer of white or clear toner to make them more solid.The best thing you caqn do is stress the importance to the customer of using the paper library correctly when loading different brands and stocks of paper,if they do paper problems and copy quality problems will be minimal.
was in Kyocera Chicago class last week. instructor said yes to ink jet high production units. they will be at the show next week and are 2 of them.
was told they are Kyocera 100% they have had them on the shelf for several years and are now going to release them
