What age group are you in?

You know what this was a great process, standard 80gsm paper end result glossy! Those fusers never went wrong!

Cold pressure fusing is the way forward IMO

Could you imagine that thing running at 100+ pppm? The clatter of the steel rollers banging together would make anyone deaf.
(Been at it 35 years so far so yes,I have worked on these)

Seniors (15+yrs): " Actually forgot almost everything. " Yes I have pushed a lot of old data from the grey matter... but I have replaced with new and more of "new" life skills have filled some voids.. but after 31 years... I guess some old shit has got to go!

I thought so Mr. 31 year. I am at 35 years. That explains our attitude. Grumpy old men

I swore I posted in here but I guess I just answered the poll. In my 31st year and 53 years old. Looks like there are more of us older guys than not which doesn't surprise me.

Wow. You are all old ass men. Make way for the new generation of HYBRID TECHS with networking skills and not dumping every problem to the customers IT Dept. In fact, even becoming the IT company of choice FOR the user.

I started as the network install tech when I was 23. Been on the industry 5 years. Thankfully, I ask a lot of questions and Google is my best friend.

Just letting all of you old farts know, Hybrid Techs are the future, and the future is now old men. The future is now.

@PhilB

You know that's interesting. To be fair, you're not normal then. If you read the report from Copier careers, it seems like the old gen of techs for the most part refuse to learn, or fail to learn any computational networking skills.

And if they do, it's only extent of driver/ and basic scanning installation.

I started this career when I was 22 (2008). Started with mono machines (Konica) then moved to ricoh. Office based since 2014 doing helpdesk calls and MPS pre sales. Now planning to take on MCSE, unlike Phil, my wife supports me on that.
