InfoPrint 75 - Enjoy It Now At A Reduced Price

InfoPrint 75 Laser Printer Availability


The InfoPrint 75 is a nice continuous forms laser printer unit that unfortunately did a disappearing act in the market.

2020 EDIT: RICOH DROPS IP75 SERVICE ON MARCH 31, 2021. NO NEW REPAIR PARTS AVAILABILITY. TONER SOLE SOURCE HAS ANNOUNCED END-OF-AVAILABILITY OF IP75/100 TONER PRODUCT 03/31/2021. THESE GREAT PRINTERS WILL BECOME UNUSABLE FOR KEY MISSIONS. NO RICOH ALTERNATIVES. RICOH WALKS AWAY FROM IP75 AND IP100 INSTALL BASE. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT PRINTER CONNECTION, (866) 430-6202.


Once sold by the InfoPrint Business Partners and the nationwide team of InfoPrint sales reps, the machine went into hiding after the end of 2011.  Ricoh shut down the InfoPrint operations, canceling all the resellers and laying off all the reps, save for the very few RPPS reps that continued to sell the $500k+ roll-fed mono and $2MM color units of the InfoPrint 4100 and 5000 product families. 

Customers still have needs, and resellers could still sell these machines except the InfoPrint 75 is not available to them.  Ricoh could certainly take an order and take the reseller's customer and run, but there's nothing in it for the folks that know the customers best.

It is now effectively an orphaned unit.  The former Ikon sales reps could sell it, but they are not typically in the enterprise industrial marketplace enough to invest the time to know the product and its usage.  The RPPS reps could sell it, but why spend time on a $75,000 unit (before discounts) when your quota is high and you are tasked to sell $500k or $2MM units?

Printer Connection has access to a few of these Infoprint 75 units, lightly used and ready for new homes. The same reliable Ricoh RPPS (former InfoPrint) maintenance service and technicians are still available to maintain the printers, with RPPS service contracts also available from Printer Connection.

Mobile data traffic will rise sharply in the coming years

Thanks, DocPath!

We found this on the website of our friends at DocPath and they give the source as: Cisco.  Visit www.DocPath.com to see our partner's great document software solutions.  Here's the very interesting article --

Mobile data traffic will rise sharply in the coming years

According to a detailed report by Cisco VNI (Visual Networking Index) about data traffic on mobile phones, global mobile data traffic will multiply by 13 times in the next 5 years, from 2013-2017, and will reach a staggering 134 exabytes per year. As an example, this number equivalates to 10 MMS-type images produced by each person globally in an entire year.

The increase in mobile data traffic is due, among other causes, to significant growth in mobile Internet connections. In fact, Cisco's report expects that smartphones, laptops, and tablets will generate 93% of the global mobile data traffic in 2017.

In addition, Cisco points out that global mobile data traffic will exceed 3 times the fixed global data traffic during the period of 2012-2017. The Cisco report notes the following trends to be the reasons for this development:
  • More mobile users. In 2017 there will be 5,200 million mobile users (from 4,300 million in 2012)
  • More mobile connections. In 2017 there will be over 10,000 billion mobile-connected devices (from 7,000 million in 2012).
  • Faster mobile connections. The average speed of mobile connections will multiply by 7 between 2012 (0.5 Mbps) and 2017 (3.9 Mbps).
  • More mobile video. In 2017, the Global mobile video traffic will account for 66 percent of all global mobile data traffic (from the estimated 51 percent in 2012).
