    Many moons ago, in the Analog world, I worked for a Lanier Dealership. Their monster of a production machine was made by Kodak. I didn't know Kodak was still in the copier business.

      I know that Kodak at least used to rebrand a high volume Heidelberg series of B&W printers.

      These are beasts. They range from 110 to 185 pages per minute.

      They were also rebranded by Canon and IBM.

      Price wise they ranged from $240k to over $500k if you added all the toys.

      I used to do the software support (all UNIX) for the Canon versions.
