“I am not quite sure how we coped before the ASL and Ricoh solution. If we had a same-day job on Friday, I would worry we wouldn’t do it on time; we’d even contemplate outsourcing to another printer. I always had that niggling doubt the printer was going to break down – we don’t get that now. The reliability of the Ricoh technology is excellent, and the quality is just superb.”
