Re: Ricoh 7000GX Won't Switch On!

Okay, I'm now getting notifications - thanks Justin.

I purchased the printer July 2009 and, we haven't yet used up the first Sawgrass inks! So you can see, it's had very little use - perhaps this has contributed to the failure.

When the printers were first launched, they were considerably cheaper than they are now. In the good 'ole US of A, Conde Systems realised the potential of the printers and bought up the whole stock from Ricoh. At least, this is what I was told by the mand from Conde when I met him at FESPA in Munich. The price of the printers shot up.

I haven't yet spent anytime with the printer, other than trying to switch it on, I've done nothing. I hope to have more time this weekend.

Cheers

John

a new Ricoh 7000 GX costs £700 (£820 inc VAT) according to your website
That includes a full set of SubliJetR cartridges (value £240 +vat) so the printer is considerably cheaper by itself.
