Re: WHOA!! You Need to Check Out National AZON!
Art, you're right. National Azon is a great asset to us as reps to hit the AEC vertical. In addition they also sell just stand alone large format scanners. I worked with them (but didn't win) on an opportunity at a state archive for scanning super old documents. The rep was super helpful and if it weren't for a prior relationship we would have won. Also, they offer a pretty robust media selection for wide format. We've got several customers we order media for from these guys. They have a...

Five Reasons to Consider the Contex SD One MF Color Wide Format Scanner

What is a Zero Turn Scanning Productivity Center?
Hand feed a wide format sheet of paper to be scanned, baby sit that sheet of paper while it's being scanned, then remove the scanned sheet of paper from the scanner.

I re-posted these on the site and the first one was titled "Pamper the Sweet Tooth in Wartime". Having never lived through rationing (except for gas), I found these articles to be interesting in the lives of the Americans during WW2. Check...

Got one of these placed with a customer who had high-volume large format doc scanning needs and they absolutely LOVE the product. Nothing better on the market and it works with pretty much any large format printer on the market today. Customer support from sales through technical is always top notch.
