I’m a history buff and a nostalgia buff, and I’d like to thank John Scher Zeller, grandson of Max Scher, for sharing some of his grandfather’s balance sheets with me, so that I can share this, what I think is very interesting information, with visitors to Reprographics 101. John’s grandfather, Max Scher, who was an…

Well, someone’s going to have that opportunity! Unfortunately, unless you knew about this procurement and submitted a proposal, you won’t have the opportunity to provide scanning services to the LAUSD, at least not this time around. The deadline for Proposals was October 31st. Proposals are now in the process of being considered. This morning, I…

Don’t jump up and down over November’s rise in the HomeBuilder Sentiment Index to 20 from October’s Index of 18. The “press” has a very aggravating way of “shouting out” about things that aren’t really worthy of shouting out about. Any reading below 50 indicates that HomeBuilders have a poor outlook! 20 is waaaaay below…

The AIA released a very interesting paper (see title above), and I think this paper should be read by all who are involved in the A/E/C industry, including reprographers.

Because I’ve posted lots of stuff about the MPS business and industry – and about the opportunity for developing MPS business – in the past on Reprographics 101, I thought I’d mention that The Photizo Group has just released (for purchase) its most recent studies and forecasts for the MPS market. If anyone out there…

Very recently, I received an e-mail from Mark Langdon, President of Eastern Engineering Supply. Mark wanted to alert me to software solutions that he and his associates have developed and are already using (and offering to A/E/C customers) or currently have under development and will soon be using and offering to A/E/C customers. Mark’s e-mail…

Although AutoDesk’s business is not limited to the AEC Industry, AutoDesk certainly derives a significant portion of its revenues from firms and agencies involved in the AEC business and industry, and, for that very reason, I follow AutoDesk’s financial results, since “how AutoDesk does” has, in the past, been a good leading indicator for “how…

Although this blog is about the reprographics business and industry, there are similarities between the reprographics industry and the office supplies industry, and, add to that the fact that Staples operates a fairly large “Copy & Print” business, considering the number of stores Staples operates and the geographic reach of Staples’ operations. Staples’ Copy &…

As I previously mentioned in a post on Reprographics 101 on November 8th, 2011, ARC’s management team (Suri, Dilo and John Toth) participated in, and presented at, the JP Morgan “Ultimate Services Conference” on November 9, 2011. Conferences like this one enable a public-company’s management team to promote investment in a company’s stock (and corporate…
