I started a survey on the Print4Pay Hotel "End User Forums" just about two years ago. In that survey we asked
"What Copier/MFP Brand would you pay more for?" With over 750 page views I'm gonna declare a winner. Mind you there's no science to this poll, users who view the poll can vote for their choice. Drum roll please!
Ricoh 17%
Xerox 21%
Canon 29%
KonicaMinolta 21%
Kyocera 6%
Sharp 5%
Toshiba 2%
Panasonic 0%
Oce 1%
So, there it is Canon sits at Numero Uno, Xerox and KonicaMinolta tied for second, Ricoh a close third and the rest of the pack, the rest....right, who cares.

Actually there are quite a few of us that care about the rest! I challenge you, Art, to compare a Sharp MFP toe to toe with a Canon, Konica Minolta or Ricoh! Open the DF and slam it down on each one, open the front doors and trays and see which ones are more durably contructed. I will confidently place my bets on the Sharp! And I am sure that after 100K images are printed on the Ricoh devices, open the front door and swipe your finger across it, then do the same on a Sharp, you will see toner on your finger with the Ricoh, not the Sharp!
