    Interesting. I had to google them as I've never even heard of them but it looks cool enough.

    Still getting up to speed again, and I expect this is too late to be useful, but I've worked with several Ricoh printers and found their support to be poor from both hardware and software perspectives. That seems to be common for companies that see themselves primarily as copier manufacturers. In this regard I'd say Xerox sets the low bar.

    But I'm always nervous anytime a hardware manufacturer wants to lock me into a proprietary technology. Remember when when Tektronix solid ink printers were so cheap to run that they gave you free black in for life? Then, Xerox bought the printers. Ain't even close to free no more.

    There's a lot of high quality aftermarket ink and toner around, and as much as I looked, I didn't really find any support for Ricoh's claims about how wonderfully cheap their technology is. For a heavy duty printer, the print speeds certainly aren't astounding, and there really aren't many printers that require special papers, these days, so a lot of Ricoh's talking points left me under whelmed. Don't know.
