"We couldn't run jobs together because they came out totally different colors," says Zipkin, manager of Printing and Mail Services. He had his eye on a new Konica Minolta device, but when the in-plant's distributor, IKON Office Solutions, was purchased by Ricoh last year, everything changed. Suddenly Zipkin found himself looking at a deal on the new Ricoh Pro C900 that was too good to pass up. The Latham, N.Y., in-plant installed the new 90-page-per-minute color printer in April. Life has been much better since then, Zipkin says.
