Black-and-white Copiers The Plain Truth

"The niche that the black-and-white copiers fill could not be handled any other way efficiently or effectively," says Bartels. "I can't imagine operating without them."

Down in Owensboro, Kentucky, Nancy French finds herself in the same situation at the Owensboro Medical Health System.

"We print a lot of physician orders and chart forms, with most of these runs being less than 100 copies of two-sided forms," says French, supervisor of the Printing & Graphic Design department. "We also run a lot of work for the emergency department that's two-sided. These departments just don't have the room to store lots of forms."
