How much for a year

Are you referring to the PA Premium Membership?

Harold, We don't have a yearly price. Our subscribers pay monthly for our services and the cost varies based on the subscription. I'd be happy to discuss your companies needs and provide you with the plan that works for you. I can be reached at 1-877-412-8348. As a side note, our members generate recurring revenue directly from our user management licensing which typically covers the monthly cost and more. So essentially to them it's free!

Did that as well or sometimes would take several sheets of paper that I had done a sky shot with a copier and then looped them together...lol

Loved the reflection on the history of fax. Although this was a relatively low residual product it offered a new way to get in the door. In the 80's, I would follow the fed ex delivery driver who often was delivering some printed pages (agenda's, schedules, documents) that needed to be there next day or sooner. It was an ear opener when you tell them you can them there next minute without the $12.00 fedex charge. Using afterhours timing for reducing long distance charges helped separate...

@John Saramak now that's a cool plan! Follow the fedex driver, wish I could have thought of that one. Could only image how much more successful we could have been in the eighties if we were able to share information like this. Hope all is well with you!

If you know me, or have read my work, you know I come from the 2D printing industry and was selling machines for Xerox back in the 1990’s, when digital (2D) printing was just taking off. For a long time now, I’ve been comparing 2D and 3D printing. Now, others are joining the fray. Last week Eddie Krassenstein wrote an article about the underperformance of Stratasys and 3D Systems. He interviewed Rick Twiggs, who owns a consulting company called Unchained Thought. Near the beginning of the...

Go ahead, you can do it, no one will see you. It's ok to hug your fax, if you still have one.   Funny, just today, I was at an office and they told me about one of their principals that was still using a computer with a 3.5 floppy drive. He...

A Brief History of Printer Paper Human ingenuity for storing written communication has always been high. What started on cave walls quickly became more portable as early people used clay, palm leaves, snake skins, tortoise shells, and other handy surfaces to store and share knowledge. However, the desire for a higher level of permanency beyond the cave wall eventually led from dried or fired clay to papyrus and paper. The Development of Standard Paper How they use to make paper Anyone who...
