Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ), still seen as a front runner, will go head-to-head with Foxconn in the bidding for Sharp, and its third bailout in under four years. Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, had already offered over 600...

I n 2006, at least for me, wide format was the product to sell! I couldn't have cared less about selling a copier, I wanted to dig under every rock and find those wide format opportunities. On a recent presentation I gave in Texas, I was asked, "why focus on wide format?". My answer was simple, higher revenue, higher GP, DM is usually accessible, AEC market values IT, and I get the chances to sell them a copier somewhere down the road also. It's the two for one thing!

The Transition of the Copier Industry "According to Art" Part One: I can only start from the early eighties. Six months after graduating a copier tech training school, I had sold my first copier.

On a recent drive by that company was no longer in that building, I was kinda bummed because I would have enjoyed to cold call them again If you bought or leased a copier in 1981, the only function of that copier was to copy.
