Digital Imaging System Enhances Productivity and Color Output Quality
Art Post (Guest) ·
. When the print shop was established several years ago, it featured a small offset press. Later, the shop went digital and purchased a Ricoh black-and-white production copier along with a small Ricoh color printer. Faced with exploding growth of both membership and staff, the print shop had to outsource nearly all color printing. However, increased cost in outsourcing all color projects led the organization to the decision to bring all printing, including color materials, in-house which required an

Re: GENERIC TONERS
GIntel ·
In legacy HW and MPS scenarios seems like using non-OEM toners makes the most sense. If MPS is ideally brand-agnostic, then why not the supplies too? So regardless what HP says, you know they are using generics in many of their own MPS accounts too. Plus there is a reason that Xerox sells third party Canon and HP cartridges right from its website! Does anyone know if MFRs have a way to ensure that their OEM toners are used in their channel MPS programs or otherwise? Any thoughts?

HP's (on the printing and imaging side anyway) entire business model is built around selling HP toner. As far as ensuring the use of OEM products, I've heard of a couple of programs from different manufacturers where you can sign up and there is a "price" and a "discount". If at any point in the program it's determined you are

Re: Personal Property Tax
wyzguynyuk: We use GE and Great America. The problem with GE is that sometimes they would go back to the customer and say they under estimated and have to collect the difference, thereby defeating the purpose of including it. Great America's rates are higher, but there are no surprises. We've decided to include personal property tax in all leases for tax exempt customers. It is at this time at the sales persons discretion to include it on taxable customers. Sometimes the $1 buy-out is cheaper
