Re: Print Copy Tool versus Plotworks
John, The PrintCopy Tool compares pretty favorably to Plotworks. I attached two documents to this post. The Product Support Guide lists differences between the two products. The PowerPoint has screen shots of all the settings in PrintCopy Tool. I hope this helps.

Re: Cold Calling today

Re: MPS and Linux HELP!
So some clarification first. PaperCut absolutely does support Mac. In fact, it is the only cost recovery/print control solution that I know of that actually installs in an all Mac environment. (Server and Client) It also is the only solution I know of that installs in a Linux environment. So both of your issues are solved with PaperCut. I included the install guides for Mac and Linux to get you started.

Re: Are Step Leases ethical business practise?
The worst one I saw was $180k BOP on a $15k copier. He had been "step leased" several times. The previous Office Manager refused to discuss copier leases with anyone. Eventually he was replaced and the new Office Manager could not believe the situation he was in. Desperate copier vendors like to promote step leases because the big copy Block gives them a large extra chunk of cash up front. The large amounts of paper promised are usually more than the customer can use and another source of...

Re: Booklet printing with saddle stitch using Adobe Indesign CS5
We solved the problem. We changed a setting within InDesign CS5 from "Binary" to "ASCII". I do not know why this works since that same setting in InDesign CS4 is set to "Binary" but it fixed the problem. Much thanks to JasonR for taking the time to call me and discuss the problem. Not alot of people would do that and I really appreciate it. I have attached a screen shot of the change from within InDesign CS5.

Re: New stuff from Ricoh
I never did too much with the MP2000 or MP2500. I like the touch panel on the 2551 and up models much better. especially when scanning. The MP2500 was a good system to bid if customer required a finisher at 25ppm and you need to keep the price down.
