"MFP Wars" Hi Speed A3 MFP's vs A4 MFP's

Thank goodness I've kept the old blog site alive.

It's also true that probably 80-85% of all clients do not have the need to print, copy or scan 11x17. However what most don't chat about is the cost per page of A4 MFP's compared to A3 MFP's. Typically an A4 MFP will have a higher per...

I can't tell you how many times I've lost a deal because a dealer "disguises" their a base amount of copies inside the lease payment. Customers are willing to pay more to not have to worry about monthly print usage and have a predictable monthly payment. This seems crazy at first, but then I thought about it and it's everywhere...

Hi Art The Pagewide service model is the one we use for our Canon ImagePROGRAF plotters. Based upon customer's needs, we quote an annual contract for service. This contract, like the original 1- year warranty from Canon, excludes user- replaceable items (ink, paper, printhead(s), and maintanence cartridge). If the system includes a scanner, we account for that in the quoted price. So essentially, we will repair / replace any item not user-replaceable. Canon offers the same "service" contract...
