Art That industry needs our skills. Terms of understanding and mutually beneficial understanding requires the ART of negotiation. Talk soon. Plan your work , work your plan. Of course we never heard that. Lol.

In the past I've called my self a hunter of wide format devices. I'm know moving on to call myself a hunter for color labels, which will lead me to placing net new label presses. Over the last month or so, I've noticed multiple rolls of color labels in Wawa's, Quick Chek (both of these are gas station/food markets here in New Jersey). In addition I also scoped multiple rolls of labels in McDonalds and Dunkin Doughnuts (or Dunkin as they have re-branded). See and ye shall find color labels...

Over the last few years I've blogged about the importance for dealers to diversify to other avenues of print. Especially if they want to stay in the "break and fix" model for servicing and selling devices that print. One of those opportunities is color label printing. The list of the types of color labels is enormous. Bumper stickers, political stickers, custom groceries, branding, safety, food labels, CBD, beer & wine, cannabis, the list goes on and on. Post COVID19 recovery will...

Many of you know that I'm a huge fan of color label presses. It's my belief that Dealers & sales reps that add Color Label Presses to their arsenal can achieve additional heights of revenue and profit. Color Label Presses can be used as seeding devices in larger Print4Pay opportunities, or help that dealer or rep get a conversation going with an account where they have never had any traction with MFP's or IT services. In addition, the competition is ripe for takeover. Let us not forget...

A few years ago I took at look at one of my wide format MFPs to see how many color labels were used in the manufacturing process. I believe the final count was 37 labels, they included model number, serial number, safety warnings, logo's, etc. In my opinion it was a heck of a lot of color labels for just one MFP. About a week ago I had a chat with a dealer owner and I was curious about what brands of copiers they sold. I then asked what about Managed IT, and found out that Managed IT is not...

Funny, I was hoping to post of these each week for the next 12 weeks or so. It's been a month since I posted the first blog for "Color Label Press University "Glossary of Terms" Part One, Course One". Color Label Presses can be used as seeding devices in larger Print4Pay opportunities, or help that dealer or rep get a conversation going with an account where they have never had any traction with MFP's or IT services.

I'm back on a roll! Just a few days ago we posted up the second blog for "Color Label Press University "Glossary of Terms" Part Two, Course One". We're off and running with Part 3 today. Color Label Presses can be used as seeding devices in larger Print4Pay opportunities, or help that dealer or rep get a conversation going with an account where they have never had any traction with MFP's or IT services. In addition, the competition is ripe for takeover. Let us not forget about the GP!

Living and working in New Jersey is no easy task. I've been doing that for the past 39 years in the same territory, some have said "who has it better than me?". Well not me, even at the ripe old age of sixty-two I'm always looking for ways to increase my sales or knowledge of print. What's really excited me the last couple of years is the huge opportunity that's out there for color label presses. At a recent food market, I noticed that every container of prepared food was accompanied by a...

Thank you

It was about two weeks prior to Christmas that I visited Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA. Peddler's Village offers many shops in colonial style buildings along with dining and lodging. Our mission was to shop for some Christmas gifts and we planned for a day of cold rain and raw conditions. As I was forced to go in out of almost every shop on the campus I noticed that almost all of the shops had custom color branding labels for most of their food products. Below is a picture I took from the...
