The pirates are not "in cahoots with the leasing companies" they are subscribing to an SEC filling data service, like EDA Online. You can set up a notification when a new copier lease is filed with the SEC.

6 Reasons Why Flat Rate Service Program Will Change the Copier Industry

I remember when plain paper copiers used rolls of paper and not sheets. I remember when the glass on the copiers had to move back and forth. I remember when copiers used liquid ink (toner) to produce an image. I remember when you used a dial to set how many copies you wanted to make. Yup, it's been a pretty incredible journey to see the industry evolve over the last 38 years! Back in the early eighties their was only one plan for a copier maintenance agreement.

Re: Are you Buying HOT Copier Supplies?

These toner pirates are still a problem. They have all of the customers contact and copier information, call to confirm an auto-ship for toner replacement and then send them an invoice. I've had several customers call me about it because the phone calls seemed suspicious.

Re: Toshiba Erasable Toner Copier

Art Post ·
ink is blue, option is $1,600 or so MSRP and also has a scanner unit in the system to archive the data before the toner is erased. There is a latent image on the paper (you really can't even see it). Good idea, however re-using the paper after it has been printed (ran through fuser), handled, marked up, and then erased. I'm thinking you won't be able to get that many clean sheets (no folds, dog ears, pen marks, wrinkles) to put back into the feeder to erase the blue toner.
