This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (First Week of October 2004)
I had this short chat with my VP of Sales today. I exhausted my pipeline in recent months, not as much time to prospect during that time. Put the foot on the pedal this week with almost 70 calls, and 40 plus emails. Resulting in 10 appointments and 3 opportunities for about $50K. Need to do the same for the next 3 weeks! Enjoy these awesome threads from 15 years ago this week!

HD Ultra X 42-inch Scanner Gains Lion’s Share of Sales in Contex’s New Series
Chantilly, VA — October 3, 2019 — Contex, the world leader in large format scanning, today announces that the new 42-inch scanner has outsold all other models in the HD Ultra X series.
The new series, which boasts unparalleled technological advancements, is outpacing sales expectations, while garnering rave reviews from the scanning community. Of the three available widths in the series, 36-, 42-, and 60-inches, the 42-inch model is the most popular to date.
“The HD Ultra X scanner series is proving to be one of our most successful scanner series in Contex’s history, and much like the 36- and 60-inch models, sales for the 42-inch has exceeded our expectations,” comments Steve Blanken, General Manager, Contex Americas. “Many customers are choosing the 42-inch scanner because its width is well-suited for a variety of applications, but the scanner is in close competition with the other models in the HD Ultra X series.”
Reprographic shops, museums, government agencies, among others, use the HD Ultra X scanner to capture an array of large format documents such as CAD and engineering drawings, artwork, maps, and more. The HD Ultra X boasts numerous technological advancements that have set a new standard in large format scanning. For example, its unprecedented scanning speed of 17.8 ips and productivity boosters dramatically reduce production time. Customers also appreciate the true size detection and instant-ON capabilities, as well as its throttle buffer control, which eliminates scanner pauses. This allows operators to continuously feed documents without waiting for scanned data to be processed.
For more information, visit a Contex distributor, or contact info@contex.com.

Color Label Press University "Glossary of Terms" Part Thirteen, Course One
I've used the hashtag of #followprintmigration for sometime now. I don't have any facts or statements, I just know what I see. Last weekend the wife and I spent a few days in Wildwood, NJ for a much needed getaway. The main purpose of the trip was to attend the North America Sea Glass festival.
Many artists from the east coast were to there to display and sell their creations. So what did I notice? Branding, branding and more branding from the artists with their creations. I noticed three artists that completed your purchase with a brown craft bag and on each bag was a colorful branding label.
While at another booth I noticed that each of the plastic bags that contained assorted sea glass was adorned with a color label. For the two day event I can only guess at the number of labels that were used for that one show.
While traveling home we stopped at Smithville, which is a re-creation of historic buildings that are now a combination of shops and boutiques that attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year.
My favorite shop is the one that sells all different types of nut spreads. I was tempted to get the sunflower spread but opted for the cashew instead. Every single jar of spread had a color label, on some of the larger jars there were two or more. Let's see, open every day all year, tens of thousands of visitors, well that adds up to a crap load of color labels for the one store.
Yes there is a reduction of print happening in the office. But if I was a dealer principal in the business of putting ink or toner on paper don't I owe to myself to expand my services? The market is huge for digital label presses and there are more opportunities for net new clients than you can shake a stick at. Think about this the next time you make a purchase and take a look at all of the ink and toner!
Label Press University
At the top of each blog you'll see . Clicking that link which is at the top of each blog will then bring you the collection of blogs for Color Label Press University. It's pretty neat, you'll see all of the blogs that we've posted for an easier read and simple way to toggle from blog to blog.
Color Label Presses can be used as seeding devices in larger Print4Pay opportunities, or help that dealer or rep get a conversation going with an account where they have never had any traction with MFP's or IT services. In addition, the competition is ripe for takeover. Let us not forget about the GP!
The market for full color digital labels in huge and the potential to make some serious commissions is enormous. BTW, isn't that why we're in this crazy business?
