Latest on the Corona Virus

I saw something about that a week or so ago.
Just checked and now the World Health Organization says “it’s fine to use”.
A French healthcare professional was the one who started that rumor, but it has now been “debunked”.

The question now becomes "how long will it take for this information to get out to the idiots who are now hoarding Tylenol/acetaminophen"?

Depending on where you live and the increased regulations about social distancing, I would expect the use of office copiers shared by large work groups will decline for the next few weeks or months.

Some jurisdictions are prohibiting all non essential businesses to operate. Although many copier dealerships provide primarily only business to business services, I am not sure if this is an essential service.

In some cases the machines need to keep on rolling like invoice and statements for big companies.

With many schools going to online instruction or telling parents to home school, the use of their copiers/printers/etc have probably dropped off considerably.

This could put them into a long term mindset of paper use...

Places like Best Buy Electronics are seeing explosive sales in anything related to enabling work from home, including refrigerators.

There is talk that this Corona Virus pandemic will accelerate the office imaging industry five years into the future, not in a good way for printed page volumes.

People may not quickly come back to their shared office workspace when they learn that they can work effectively from home and in an exclusively digital world.

More and more of our customers are going to realize that they do not need to accomplish tasks the same old way they have done it before.

When people learn a new way of accomplishing their tasks, they very rarely go back to the old way.

The new work from home attitude will expedite that 24/7 gig economy.

Gig Economy Definition

In a gig economy, temporary, flexible jobs are commonplace and companies tend toward hiring independent contractors and freelancers instead of full-time employees. A gig economy undermines the traditional economy of full-time workers who rarely change positions and instead focus on a lifetime career.

Very true about paper use, we all know that this need to change luck for us it been a slow change.
Many companies takes advantage of the demand of this crisis. Just thing of a company producing IPA in this time.

so more people working from home.. buying the cheep home printer/MFP..

can WE expect an upsurge in 'end users' coming here picking our brains for a $0 fix?

at least the Contributions to CTN will rise some too! A plus for us and the site.

maybe this could even lead to Indy jobs coming if the user is close by.

Don't use foul language where i can help it, but fuck inkjets...
Some of these inkjets have become too cheap to use.
Can make $30 on a strip and clean service but not my idea of fun.
