Morning Kslight, Thanks for your testimonial on the Ricoh experience you're having, I hope we do too. Just curious did you get an additional service contract along with the purchase or lease.?

Morning Edward, Thanks for the reply, yes were liking the 5th Ink unit for some embellishments or clear coating. The rated speed seems comparable and the GSM capabilities. We don't often run duplex more than 4000GSM on our 4100 anyway. I'll try and keep this post updated.

Hi Dominic, Thanks for the input, I figured the Indigo is in a different league we may just start off with a memjet label press it would be a upgrade from the small toner based machine we got a couple years back to get our feet wet in label production, our main core business is digital and...
