Ricoh equipment: what Ikon sells and services
Ricoh makes a wide range of office machines, from small desktop printers to large production copiers. Ikon typically stocks models in the mid-range that work for small offices, departments, and growing companies. These machines handle both black-and-white and color copying, printing, and scanning, and many can collate, staple, and sort automatically.
Ikon's service team maintains these machines under contract. That means you call Ikon when something breaks, and a technician comes to your location to fix it. The company also sells toner cartridges, paper, and other supplies that fit Ricoh equipment, so you can order everything from one vendor.
Oce equipment and large-format printing
Oce specializes in large-format printing and copying—machines that handle wide paper for architectural drawings, engineering plans, posters, and technical documents. If your business needs to print or copy anything wider than standard letter or legal size, Oce equipment is built for that work.
Ikon sells Oce machines and maintains them the same way as Ricoh equipment: through service contracts and emergency repair calls. Large-format machines require different supplies (wide-format paper, specialty inks, and toner for wide rolls), and Ikon stocks and delivers those as well.
How to contact Ikon and get a quote
To learn what Ikon offers, contact the company directly by phone or through its website. Have information ready about your office: how many people use the equipment, how many pages you copy or print per month, whether you need color, and what size paper you typically use. Ikon can then recommend specific models and pricing.
Ikon also offers site visits where a representative comes to your office, looks at your current setup, and suggests equipment that matches your workflow. This is useful if you're not sure what you need or if you want to compare options before deciding.
Service contracts and maintenance plans
Ikon offers several types of service agreements. A basic plan covers repairs when something breaks. A preventive maintenance plan includes regular check-ups, cleaning, and parts replacement before failure happens—this usually costs less over time because it prevents expensive emergency repairs. Some plans include supplies (toner and paper) on a set schedule, so you never have to order or run out.
The cost of a service contract depends on the machine model, how heavily you use it, and what coverage you choose. Ikon can explain the trade-offs: a cheaper plan means you pay per repair, while a more expensive plan spreads costs evenly and includes preventive visits.
Supplies and consumables ordering
Once you have Ricoh or Oce equipment, Ikon delivers toner, paper, and other supplies on a regular schedule. You can set up automatic orders so supplies arrive before you run out, or you can call and order as needed. Ikon stocks common items and can special-order less common ones.
Ordering through Ikon means you get supplies matched to your specific machine model, which reduces the risk of buying the wrong cartridge or paper type. The company can also advise on paper quality and weight if you're unsure what to order.
Training and support for your team
When Ikon installs new equipment, the company typically includes basic training for your staff on how to use the copier, printer, scanner, and other features. This covers everyday tasks like copying double-sided, scanning to email, and changing toner. If you need more detailed training later—for example, on advanced finishing options or network printing—Ikon can arrange that as well.
Support also includes troubleshooting over the phone. If something isn't working, you can call Ikon's service line and describe the problem. The technician may be able to walk you through a fix, or they can schedule a visit if the machine needs hands-on repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if Ricoh or Oce equipment is right for my office?
Contact Ikon and describe your office size, monthly copy and print volume, and whether you need color or large-format capability. Ikon can recommend models that fit your needs and budget. A site visit lets you see the equipment in action before you commit.
What happens if my equipment breaks and I don't have a service contract?
You can still call Ikon for repair, but you'll pay per visit and per part. Service contracts are usually cheaper if you use the equipment regularly, because they spread costs and include preventive maintenance that reduces breakdowns.
Can Ikon help me move from my old copier to new Ricoh or Oce equipment?
Yes. Ikon can remove your old machine, install the new one, set up your network connection, and train your staff. The company can also help you understand what supplies and service plan make sense for your new equipment.
Do I have to buy supplies from Ikon, or can I buy them elsewhere?
You can buy supplies from other vendors, but Ikon stocks supplies matched to your specific machine, which reduces ordering mistakes. Ordering through Ikon also simplifies billing if supplies are part of your service contract.
What if I need equipment repaired on a weekend or after hours?
Ask Ikon about emergency or after-hours service when you set up your contract. Some plans include extended hours or emergency response; others are business hours only. The cost and availability depend on your location and the plan you choose.
