Gain an Edge - with Edgeline

The word "change" has rightfully become the buzzword in today's political landscape as America moves forward in a historic election year. But as many of you already know, change is to be expected in the technology industry. I am both pleased and excited to inform you that, in the coming weeks, MAPS is scheduled to become one of a select few HP Elite partners throughout the United States authorized to resell HP's Edgeline series multifunctional products which feature revolutionary ink-based processes designed to improve work flow capabilities, presentations, productivity and associated costs! This innovative and environmentally friendly technology by HP will positively change the dynamic and landscape of the copier and multifunctional industry. Both the LOW cost per page and total cost of ownership along with its quality, features and workplace productivity capabilities make it a must see and must have. This is something special!

Award-winning MAPS' service with award-winning HP technology! The 2008 BLI (Buyers Laboratory Inc.) Spring "Pick" Awards gave the CM8060 color MFP withEdgeline technology its award of the BLI Special Achievement Award for Innovation. This review had some notable quotes like: (1) “The CM8060 Color MFP proved itself admirable in BLI’s testing, separating itself from the pack with innovative features not regularly seen on its copier MFP competitors for a price that is the lowest of competitive models. Featuring a very large, well-labeled color touch-screen control panel, the CM8060 Color MFP also raises the bar for ease of removing misfeeds, providing live-action video on the control panel and LEDs throughout the device to guide users" and (2) “The HP CM8060 Color MFP takes leaps and bounds forward in regard to being an environmentally friendly machine as well. Whereas the photoconductors used by competitive models have to be disposed of, with the HP CM8060, the imaging unit is the print head. The device also ships with no Styrofoam and no cardboard.”

Key Edgeline features and benefits:
• Print a wide range of business documents at an average of up to 60 pages-per-minute (ppm) in black-and-white and 50 ppm in color with the CM8060 Color MFP and an average of up to 50 ppm in black-and-white and 40 ppm in color with the HP CM8050 Color MFP;
• HP Edgeline Technology, designed with printheads that span the width of a page, allows the printer to distribute ink across paper rapidly and precisely in as little as one pass. With HP Edgeline Technology, the paper moves, not the printheads – resulting in faster print speeds and excellent print quality;
• Reduce operating costs with HP usage-based payment options including an exclusive two-tiered color pricing model – Professional color and General Office color – that makes the product significantly less expensive to operate than similar competitor offerings. HP Color Access Control also provides the tools to manage employee use of color;
• Add a dash of color at no extra cost. The HP Color Accent feature keeps overall printing costs down by charging pay-per-use users the black-and-white price for pages that use a very small amount of color (logos or references to website links);
• Optimize print quality with Original HP supplies: Specialized HP Vivera office inks produce vibrant color images and crisp text at any speed and deliver water resistant prints that resist smearing on plain papers;
• HP Easy Select Control Panel features a color 10-inch touch-screen with 12-key number pad, providing effortless interaction. HP AutoNav empowers users to resolve problems, including locating and removing paper jams with the help live action video and a series of LEDs that act as “digital breadcrumbs” to guide users quickly and easily to the source of the problem;
• Easily control devices with Web Jetadmin device management software that enables efficient installation, configuration and management. The HP Universal Print Driver simplifies operation with one intelligent driver for all HP and non-HP network peripherals;
• Increase efficiency with the embedded HP Jetdirect print server that provides outstanding performance, advanced security features, and support for a broad range of network operating systems and protocols;
• Meet specific company needs by adding forms, fonts, and barcode printing capabilities;
• Rely on MAPS' services and solutions to provide single payment convenience and a comprehensive menu of scalable, usage-based services and onsite support that are tailored to meet business needs;
