To InfoPrint 75 and InfoPrint 100 Users, A Swan Song

The Curtain Call for Some Great InfoPrint Printers

To parody a classic by Paul Anka:  

And now, the end is near, And so we face its final curtain. 

My friends, I'll say it clear, I'll state the case of which I'm certain.

It’s been an InfoPrint that printed each and every nice way

But now, the end of March, it hits the highway!

Ol' Blue Eyes took Paul Anka's words to a long career. Unfortunately for the InfoPrint 75 and InfoPrint 100, their careers are coming to a close.

Just last week, a current user of InfoPrint 75 printers told me they got a 'last call' letter from the supplier of the toner. It advised them to make their last buy of toner soon. After April 1, 2021, they could no longer provide toner. Note: that supplier is the ONLY provider of the OEM toner for the InfoPrint 75 and 100!

As shared before, Ricoh also drops service on March 31, 2021. For those customers that thought about buying extra units for spare parts and trying to go on without Ricoh, the OEM supplies apparently will end as well. We never found any good third-party toner manufacturers to show interest in the IP75/100 market due to the limited volumes. These good printers will run out of supplies and repairs this next April.

We have some great alternatives for these InfoPrint users, and we are ready to help you test, evaluate, and install your printers. Call Printer Connection at 866-430-6202 or contact Warren Neeley at WNeeley@PCIprinters.com to get started!
