    ...Independent Xerox Colour Tech...

    After about 7 years at Xerox I left and now work for myself serviceing Xerox Colour Machines in Sydney Australia, although I have been flown to Broome, Yamba and Papua New Guinea to service machines.

    Being Independent opens up the doors to so many opportunities.

    If you're not independent I reckon you should at least look into it.

    It CAN be harder and is very rewarding. The Buck begins and ends with YOU.

    Small copy spin off of a larger company of 28 people, when owner wanted to retire he said I could take over service. About 5 years later bought him out. Worked for medium company, was service mgr with 22 techs, to my own business with partner that failed ,to wholesaler of Canons to India, mostly NP270's and 400, back by myself , failed again, and to this now. Started in 1974 and was working for a Canon dealer and had the opportunity to train on the very 1st CLC but quit before. Went to another Canon dealer. First trained Canon was the L7/NP70, then 30/50, then 60, then 80, all liquid, then dry toner NP200, 120, 210, 300, 400, 500, and a long list thereafter. We also did Savins, Sharps, Olympia, Saxon, Eskofot, 3M, Mita copiers back then.

    Started with a medium company in 79, went to a large, and last 20 years been with a small ... its pretty good, no politics or backstabbing. With four people we can get on each others nerves a bit though. =)

    It's myself, a semi-silent partner, and a lot of quasi sub-contractors/employees.
