The Cluster Contender

by Bob Neubauer

As anyone with a printer or copier knows, equipment breaks down. So what's an in-plant to do if its DocuTech or 9110 goes down in the middle of a busy week? That's what Hal Cypert asked himself.

"If you've got a fast-paced environment, sometimes you can't afford to be down for two or three hours, or overnight, if you're waiting on a part," notes Cypert, duplicating services supervisor for the County of Tulare, in Visalia, Calif. That's the main reason his 15-employee shop installed a T/R Systems Micropress instead of a DocuTech.
