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.
