In an open forum with ESS
and Sequoia, this question was asked of all the vendors, do you have a BOD
printer. Our competitors answered
in the affirmative without mentioning any limitations. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t? Just trying to stay ahead
of the game. Are we actively
pursuing a complete solution? If
so, what are our expectations? John -----Original Message----- That is a
very open ended question. We do
have printers that will do ballot on demand, but with limitations. As you may or may not be aware, there
was an effort put together a few years ago to market and sell a ballot on
demand solution. It required a HP
5000 LaserJet SI HM (Heavy Material) printer. That printer would allow ballot stock to be printed in
duplex within our AVOS specifications.
That particular model is no longer being produced. Since that time a Minolta Page works
printer has been used to print ballots in one customer site and now a QMS 4032
printer is being used by one of our agents as a solution for BOD. The Minolta and QMS printers do not
support an 18” ballot, therefore the limitation that I mentioned previously. The simple
answer is yes we have a ballot on demand printer. The next question should be, will it provide the
functionality that is required.
Where are you planning on selling this? Larry J. Dix Vice

in the near future, please provide
details. |
