Re: Need Help for Duplex, Staple Solution
If the software really only allows for one sided printing your only option I know of would be to force duplexing at the printer level or do a print to file or print to PDF then print the PDF duplexed and stapled.

Re: Need Help for Duplex, Staple Solution
Art, I know on many models you can set the PCL defaults (EX: Two Sided & Duplex). These will be ignored when you print form a PCL Driver because the Driver will over ride the defaults. But if they print from a host system the MFD PCL defaults will be used. The other thing you can propose,(Most Host Admins will hate the idea) is set up a Windows Print Driver on a Windows Server. make sure LPD is running and set the Printing Preferences (I also set the Printing Defaults) to DX & Staple...

Art... you'd make $1 million a year if you sold Canon! Love the idea of the staple-free stapler though - not sure if it would be worth it because staples are so cheap and most companies would probably charge double over a regular staple finisher.

How about an entry level wide format printer based on GelSprinter technology? $3-5K price range. A quality Tabletop B/W with a full sized display and a low cpc.

Is The Imaging Channel's Whitewashing Threatening Its Innovation?
Well, The Imaging Channel is used to the Whitewashing in explaining how great things are even when common sense disagrees. The channel's ability to whitewash is unprecedented.

Re: Imaging Channel, DEX Imaging and Staples oh, Imagine the Probabilities
Here's something I'm not understanding at least with the copiers and distribution. Dex has dealer agreements with with Kyocera, KonicaMinolta and Canon in their geographical locations. Could those dealer agreements be transferred or renegotiate with Staples? If so could Staples then offer all of those devices nationwide? I was just on Dex's web site and at least for now their web sites tells me that they are still is the "push" mode and not the "pull" mode for their copiers aka imaging...

Re: Imaging Channel, DEX Imaging and Staples oh, Imagine the Probabilities
Thanks for the comments. I would say all manufacturers are meeting in their conference rooms and discussing this. Of, course I would also imagine that a couple manufacturers were more than likely presented some hypotheticals before the announcement. This acquisition is a strategic one and there will be many more implications which arise from it. I would believe that there will be another dealer more than likely another mega dealer which joins DEX at Staples. Once staples has a national...
Comment
Re: Imaging Channel, DEX Imaging and Staples oh, Imagine the Probabilities
I agree that in order to move to that next step Staples will need multiple mega dealers to compete on a national level. If only on the dealers would follow the migration of print there is still more than enough to go around if they want to stay in the imaging channel. Yes, office prints are declining, I agree with that. But wide format, grand wide format, and label presses are all in growth mode. One of the largest print events I ever attended was SGIA with more than 20K in attendees that...

Re: Imaging Channel, DEX Imaging and Staples oh, Imagine the Probabilities
Those are vertical products and markets it will take different business plans with different infrastructures to capitalize on them. Selling high end label printers, wide format inside a dealership where there is thousands of MFP in the dealership s MIF makes it easier to offset the delivery cost of products and services like label printers and wide format. When the dealer’s MIF is challenged by new rules and new players. Lots will change.
Comment
Re: Imaging Channel, DEX Imaging and Staples oh, Imagine the Probabilities
ty, thus the reason to change. If I were to get back in the business for my-self I would only target wide format, grand wide format and label presses. I would want to part of a declining deliverable. I would choose growth and that wide format channel is ripe for BTA dealers
Comment
Re: Imaging Channel, DEX Imaging and Staples oh, Imagine the Probabilities
This seems like an opportunity more than anything for the small to mid-sized dealer. People buy from people and I have no doubt that a giant like Staples will put a hurting on the giants of the industry BUT these changes will open as many doors as it closes and then some for the small to mid size dealer who services the heck out of their customers.
Comment
Re: Imaging Channel, DEX Imaging and Staples oh, Imagine the Probabilities
Could one of the goals of Staples be to enter the A3 market? Although the transition from A3 to A4 is 'soon to come' for many, many years now, it still didn't happen. With this acquisition, Staples has possibilities to sell A3 equipment of Kyocera, Konica Minolta and Canon, and that’s where currently the money (still) is... Or am I completely wrong in this assumption?

Re: Kyocera to launch two new color A3MFPs
Since white is "optional" it will be interesting to see whether the machine can be ordered for each color, or if there's setup involved to replace all the panels. If the latter, that seems like a lot of wasted plastic.
