Shop Talk – Industry Information and Insights
Early in the pandemic printers were declared essential, but safety considerations forced extreme limits to in-person contact. Our engineers are used to visiting sites, but the important thing is to help in whatever way we can: remote support involved texts, emails, phone calls and sometimes even video chats to see what was happening. Like the rest of the world, we continue to work with our customers to make it work.
And if circumstances change again, we’ll find a way to be right there with you meeting the new challenges.
