This is a stupid elementary question, I know but here goes:

I found a prospect with an old wide format copier using cut sheets.

The could not see a benefit to having a roll feeder. For some reason, I was at a loss for benefits aside from saving on paper which they said they cut their sheets to size.

Can someone help me with the benefits of why someone would move to a roll feeder?

All I have are:
1. Better for multiple copies.
2. Rotate Sorting
3. Longer size capability.

Thanks for any help.

No spoilage due to crooked copies. That has got to be a pretty common occurance whether they admit it or not.

What size do they cut to that we can't accomodate?

Do they inventory cut sheets of different sizes or do they waste a large sheet even for smaller copies?

Also don't rule out that maybe, just maybe, what they have is what's best for them and you need to move on.
Cost of roll paper vs sheet paper!! This is Huge!!! Roll Paper resells for about $30 per 500LF, or .06 per LF or .12 per "D" size drawing.

Sheet paper can be as expensive as $90 for 500LF, usually you will get two paks of 100 sheets!

Storage of the big sheets, along with waste of the big sheets is also a problem.

Do they hand collate? How many copies do they make, why do they want to waste thier time with a sheet for sheet system?

They are also wasting time cutting sheets down, what are they cutting them down to? Once you find out, you can sell them the exact roll size and save them time.
