Ex Band Manager Keeps In-plant in Tune

Mailing Upgrade Saves Big Bucks
Though he had no experience with copiers or mail, Barron plunged right in. The first major change he implemented, which remains a source of pride, was to install an MCS PrintStation Pro imager, which allowed the in-plant to inkjet addresses and barcodes directly onto mailing pieces.

Barron says this saved more than $100,000 in the first year.
