PRESS RELEASES

June Press Releases:

Less than a Month from the Event!

The 3rd edition of ReciclaMaisExpo2004 will be held on June 24-25 at the Green Pavilion of Expo Center Norte in São Paulo, Brazil.
It has been consolidated the biggest Show of machinery,
services and products for the cartridges recycling segment in Latin America.
If you are interested to reach the Latin American Public it is very important to consider this specific moment. The USA is imposing rules to make it difficult the entrance of foreign in North America, an
attitude perfectly acceptable at the actual political circumstance. But we cannot close our eyes to the fact that the Latin American Public is having their access restricted to travel to the US. This situation avoids the majority of this public to participate for the American events. That is why it is so important to be at ReciclaMaisExpo2004 if you want to reach the Latin American Public. It is essential to understand this process and do something to make it possible for the market to keep its natural course.
Reserve your booth and guarantee your presence.
To become competitive and stay competitive, you have to be connected with the whole world.
- 3ª ReciclaMaisExpo

First Independent Website Designed for Imaging Professionals Broadens its Scope

Highlands, New Jersey – The Print4Pay Hotel: The Imaging Professional's Resource Center (www.p4photel.com), has announced that it is opening five new message boards devoted to technicians of Ricoh family group products, making it the first independent Website in the history of the office equipment industry that enables both sales reps and technicians to share knowledge about the equipment they sell and service.
"We're excited about being the first independent support Website that provides such a wide and varied array of information to service technicians in addition to sales reps, our core group of members," notes Art Post, founder and CEO, and a docusultant with Century Office Products in Middlesex, NJ. "Because of the time they spend in the field working directly with the equipment, techs often have a better understanding of the daily issues involved in servicing these devices. These message boards enable technicians to leverage a wide and varied knowledge base. "
The five new message boards dedicated to the technical services side of the imaging business include: Networked Printers, Copiers and Fax; PC Networking Questions; AS400 Applications; Shop Talk; Mac Operating System. "By adding these topics, we're hoping to drive more technical people to the site," notes Post. "Technicians need to get information as fast as sales people, especially if they have a problematic machine in the field. Through the site and the various message boards, techs can post questions and get an answer in hours rather than days."
“This is a rapidly changing industry that's becoming increasingly complex as manufacturer's introduce more solutions that integrate with a customer's network," says Post. "We're looking to enhance the service that we provide to customers and the message boards can strengthen a technician's expertise on specific machines as well as software and solutions issues. We're all here to serve the customer and any medium that enhances that relationship particularly when it comes to expediting resolutions for specific hardware or software issues, then we all
benefit-sales rep, technician, customer and manufacturer."
