Re: Ink Based MFP's In The Market Place
Product acceptance may be the key. Have you ever seen a business class ink product that can match the image quality of a toner machine? I know they can in the production space. If they can go head to head with toner in the business class, then you have a possible game changer. My 2 cents...

I think Canon may think a lot of the quality. They listed Photo paper as an acceptable paper type.

Re: Ink Based MFP's In The Market Place
Ink is here to stay, however it seems like a slow adoption rate from many of the major manufacturers in the SMB market. Ink based MFP's could be the salvation to many service departments that have aging service technicians.

Re: Ink Based MFP's In The Market Place
I think that all may change with the Big Dog (Canon) coming to market with a great machine. Hey, we ain't talking HP Edgeline. The machine will fit in SMB and it looks similar to other machines.

The Power of Pull Marketing
Note from Art: I'd like to introduce Nathan Dube to every one. I contacted Nathan a few weeks ago and asked him if he could write a few blogs in reference to "pull marketing" and the power of adding video to your web site and You Tube. Video is the go to choice for clients that are searching for a product or a service. It's even more popular than blogs. I sure Ray S can attest to that. Please feel free to leave a comment. In the near future I'll also be introducing video here and on You...

New Players, New Rules, New Game.
One thing few in the Imaging Channel want to discuss is the innovative processes which will replace much of the old way’s deliverable. The glory days of selling print equipment and its services are just beginning for some innovative thinkers and ending for some others. All things do in-fact change. Even those who refuse, eventually are forced to change. No one can circumvent progress regardless of their marketing strategies or their hopes that current circumstances remain a little longer.

Ink Based MFP's In The Market Place
How fast will the new ink-based products take over the A3 MFP laser market? Can we expect faster market acceptance with news from the Number One Copier Manufacture? No, I don't mean Sharp or Toshiba. Canon is moving forward with an ink-based A3 MFP. My opinion is that the market will accept the product and features faster than A4 products. Big changes coming to the marketplace when machines that require less service hit the market.

Re: Share The Wonder of New Technology With Your Prospects and Clients
Darrel, nice post. I've actually made the commitment to develop my own list of clients that embrace technology. From here on in, once a month I will publish my own "technology hub" newsletter and send through constant contact. May take me a few hours to do the first one, however, after that it should take no more than an hour per month. That one hour per month is time well spent and I hope to generate additional sales by keeping my clients updated with technology. Art

The client then needs to submit that information to their insurance agent in order to produce a rider for the leasing company. Let me back up a moment.
