Subject:RE: "Print on demand" and "Docutech" From:Daniel Dresner <daniel -dot- dresner -at- ncc -dot- co -dot- uk> To:'TECHWR-L' <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 21 Jun 2000 09:07:09 +0100
Hi,
Get your accountant involved; you may need to be running (and selling) the
output day and night to justify costs such as leases, service/maintenance
and the click (price per image) charges.
It may seem like a good idea but . . .
. . . look at other options: Canon do nice small print on demand machines
(this just an example; *not* an endorsement). You may need two small
machines to guarantee reliability if one goes down; when both run you may
can (with some systems) run one job on two machines simultaneously getting
the same benefit of bigger faster single engines like Docutech.
Best regards
