A Critical Look at Total Solution Vendors for MPS, Parts, Toner and Service

2011-09-02T06:47:00.001-07:00

Best in Breed vs Total Solution
A Critical Look at Total Solution Vendors for MPS, Parts, Toner and Service

The MPS “Total Solution” model currently being marketed has some customers asking questions. Metrofuser investigated this issue and prepared this article to help educate and inform.

While MPS is an undisputedly viable method of managing and selling services, the execution of locking in a single vendor to provide toner, parts and service may effect your business adversely. Here’s why.

MPS has a substantial learning curve, and requires significant investment of time and money to implement and launch. It is extremely difficult to make changes once started down the path. It is no coincidence that companies are trying to bundle parts and services to capture/own the customer. Dependence on MPS may lead your organization to compromise quality, free market pricing and service for parts, toner and MPS.

All vendors have strengths and weaknesses. The goal is to know and operate with the right partners in their sweet spots and avoid the sand traps. The idea that one company can do all these things well is counter factual.

The goal of parts and services bundlers is to offer a laundry list of “Disneyland” services (some you will never use) with the hopes it will overwhelm the decision maker and overtake critical reasoning. History and recent events tell otherwise.

Critical Chain Weakness
One weak or undeveloped tooth on the cog of the MPS total solution can jeopardize or bring the whole system down. Poorly remanufactured parts or toner can wreak havoc on the entire system. While MPS is new and promising it is incidental to the customer. The service, parts and toner you provide are critical to the long term relationship.

Historical Weakness/Threats of The Total Solution Model

* Laggards in New Product Development within each cog.
* Slow to no improvement to correct original engineering design flaws.
* Multi person problem resolution challenges.
* Possible abandonment or lagging versions of integrated technology.
* Critical breakdowns more likely with over dependence.
* Next integration cog may be your industry or your customer.
* Layers of management between customer and leadership.

The Solution
Survival of the fittest. The best in breed model is time tested, proven and typifies the best of free markets. Vendors that under perform can be replaced like a puzzle piece as needed with little disruption to your business. Choice and the ability to pick up and switch is the greatest asset we all have and should be guarded as such.
It is notable that the Total Solution model is growing more and more out of fashion. HP is breaking away from the PC market and Motorola, ITT all split off pieces.

Metrofuser Named to INC Magazine “Americas Fastest Growing Private Companies” 4 Years in a Row

ROSELLE NJ, August 23th , 2011 -- Inc. magazine today ranked Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) in its annual Inc. 500/5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

This honor marks the forth year in a row that Metrofuser has been acknowledged by the magazine for its consistently rapid revenue growth. “This is all the more remarkable given the recent state of the economy,” said William DeMuth, Chief Operating Officer. “Our people have worked hard to develop unique one of kind services and products and the quality that goes beyond the industry standards.”

“Between opening up a West Coast Distribution Center, expanding our footprint in New Jersey and adding remanufactured printers to our catalogue, we’ve had an incredibly busy four years,” said Eric Katz, Metrofuser’s Chief Financial Officer. “To be recognized by Inc. in all of those years and in an unfriendly economic climate is a source of pride for us and a testament to our commitment to always being ahead of the curve in product development and offering the highest quality remanufactured parts in our business.”

Metrofuser remanufactures and distributes laser printer parts, remanufactured printers and offers service training for HP, Lexmark and Canon laser printers.

Metrofuser Issues Strong Recommendation for Power Conditioning Products to Improve Print Device Reliability and Savings

2011-07-20T07:45:00.001-07:00

Metrofuser Selects ESP for Power Protection

Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (http://www.metrofuser.com) has issued a Power Conditioning recommendation for business users of laser printers. The company’s research reveals a significant percentage of failures can be traced back to dirty power delivery to these devices. Metrofuser is launching a campaign to educate service providers on the risks of running printers, copiers and MFP’s without power conditioning devices and how to provide solutions.

A quick review of just about every utility company’s website reveals widespread voltage inconsistencies in the power grid. Many end-users incorrectly believe relying on retail surge protectors will protect them adequately. The reality is they will do little, as they don't condition power in today’s sensitive office equipment.

Metrofuser's Engineering department conducted extensive research which revealed power issues to be an integral point of failure. Research compiled from warranty failures, technical support case studies and forensic analysis has revealed power fluctuations to be a major contributor to device failures. Poor power can show up as sporadic problems including paper jams, error codes and image defects. Eliminating the dirty power variable is a precursor to diagnosing most intermittent device errors.

The explosive growth of the managed print services (MPS) industry model has led service providers to take responsibility for the hardware fleets while leaving power conditioning to the end-users with little support or guidance being provided. For further information on how dirty power and voltage inconsistencies can affect office machines, Metrofuser recommends these publicly available studies:

Industry Analysts
BEI Study

Metrofuser recommends power protection products like those manufactured by ESP as they offer excellent protection at a reasonable price. ESP devices provide unparalleled power conditioning and sophistication that goes beyond protecting the device. These power filters protect the labor, parts and travel expenses to service the device should the power filter fail, or fail to protect the connected device. ESP Power Filters reduce service calls, reduce down time by helping machines operate at 100% maximum efficiency, improve MCBVs by 16%, helping eliminate no-problem found calls, and help avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Preventing just one service call in a year will payback the device in its entirety.

ESP’s latest Power Conditioning System, the NextGen PCS, records power events such as over-voltage, under-voltage, surge, and power outages occurring in your customer’s environment. Using the optional NextGen interface, technicians can connect their PCs to export the filter’s event history or view it onsite, allowing them to quickly diagnose and eliminate power quality issues affecting the dependability and reliability of the installed Copier, Printer, or MFP device.

Metrofuser Issues Hot Swap/Removal Fuser Warning

2011-06-17T06:27:00.001-07:00

Metrofuser Issues Hot Swap/Removal Fuser Warning
Research reveals a significant number of printer failures are due mis-handling.

In an effort to reduce preventable failures and warranties, laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) has announced a warning for business users of laser printers. Removing certain parts when the printer is turned on can harm the device irrevocably. The company’s research reveals as much as 10% of failures can be traced back to improper handling of these devices.

Metrofuser has issued the warning for all makes and models of Laser Printers and MFPs. A Company spokesperson said this is not an engineering or design problem but more of a failure to follow best practices. A significant portion of the failures are occurring when end users are clearing paper jams and/or investigating service errors while the device is turned on.

This problem is so widespread it ranges from devices with older hot roller technology all the way up to the latest instant-on technology. Fault shows up as error codes referencing damage to the fuser, power supply or other electrical components.

Metrofuser is asking the service community to reevaluate procedures and educate their end-users on the proper handling of these sensitive devices. To avoid damage simply turn printer off before removing or installing fusing assemblies. Failing to do so WILL destroy printers’ heating elements, theromistors and power supplies.

Furthermore, Metrofuser is now equipping all of its fusers with warning labels that can be applied to printers to help inform installers and users. Labels are also available by calling Metrofuser at 908-245-2100 Ext 128.

Metrofuser Celebrates Earth Day – Achieves Another Environmental Milestone

2011-04-11T06:46:00.000-07:00

Metrofuser Celebrates Earth Day – Achieves Another Environmental Milestone

Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) is spending earth week celebrating its reclamation of over 1.3 million pounds of used laser printer hardware through its recycling program since the company’s inception in 2003. In April 2011, Metrofuser will have reclaimed over 1.3 million pounds of technology and re-manufactured over 200,000 mechanical and electrical devices, returning them back into productive office use, many having 6-7 generation of life use.

Metrofuser’s Whole Business Model is Based on Recycling and Reuse

Metrofuser reclaims, remanufactures then resells components from office imaging machines such as laser printers and copiers. The business model is designed around acquiring assets which are otherwise destined for landfills and reintroducing the recoverable, repairable parts back into the technology ecosystem. In some cases, individual mechanical or electrical components are acquired while in others, the parts are removed from decommissioned printers. Metrofuser carefully removes, disassembles, cleans and ultimately remanufactures each component. Many of the parts can be reintroduced back into the office ecosystem up to a half-dozen times. The residual effect of these processes significantly diverts tons of electronic office equipment from our landfills.

Highlights from 2010

* Last Year, Metrofuser remanufactured 50,000 mechanical and electronic parts, diverting near 350,000 pounds of technology from ending up in landfills.
* In 2010, Metrofuser recycled over 96,000 pounds of cardboard and paper. The new e-invoicing program uses technology to reduce paper waste, while a companywide paper and cardboard recovery and recycling initiative has ensured that no recyclable paper products are thrown away.
* Metrofuser also recycled over 12,000 pounds of aluminum metal last year and is seeking to make sure that every unusable piece of equipment that cannot be a part of the remanufacturing process is reused and repurposed outside of the Metrofuser offices.
* Metrofuser’s Green Packaging Program boasts a 5-10 times lifecycle. Metrofuser encourages customers to return cores using the original packaging and is often able to reuse molds several times before they are compressed to 10% of their mass footprint with full support of a nationwide return & recycle program from the packaging vendor.

Urban Economic Enterprise

Metrofuser’s technology center is headquartered within Roselle, New Jersey and its West Coast Distribution Center is in Santa Ana, California. Both offices are in designated Urban Enterprise Zones. Through commerce, the company, its vendors and customers make a direct impact into some of the fastest recovering communities in the country.

“We are elated that we not only met our goal set in ’06 ,” said Will DeMuth, Co-President, “but we have far exceeded it, contributing to a cleaner environment, establishing ourselves as an environmentally responsible corporate citizen, and continuing to raise the bar to increase responsibility industry-wide.“

Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) has introduced the Flash-It Tool – a new solution that extends the life of the transfer belt, saving service companies thousands of dollars.

The HP LaserJet 4700 Series transfer belts are programmed to trip off a replacement message, “REPLACE TRANSFER KIT” at 120,000 pages. The only way to remove that message and restore the lifecycle was to purchase a costly new transfer kit.

The Flash-It Tool will set the transfer kit life to 100% and clear the “REPLACE TRANSFER KIT” message. This allows you to reuse the existing transfer kit far beyond the 120k pages that HP dictates. One of the benefits of the tool is that you can flash the lifecycle at any point. You don’t have to wait for the message. You can flash and synchronize fleets allowing scheduled maintenance rather then crisis management.

The ETB Flash Tool performs unlimited flashes, saving companies thousands of dollars in consumables and service calls. It is excellent for MPS environments allowing for maximization of consumables. It is easy to use, comes with instructions and is backed by toll free US based tech support.

The ETB Flash Tool is compatible with the following printers:
HP Color LJ CP4005dn (CB504A) HP Color LJ CP4005n (CB503A) HP Color LaserJet 4700 (HP Q7491A) HP Color LaserJet 4700DN(HP Q7493A) HP Color LaserJet 4700N (HP Q7492A)

“The Best Office Printers for 2011”
Research that reveals the lowest cost of acquisition and ownership within the business community

October 25, 2010- Roselle, New Jersey- Business printer solution provider Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) announced the release of the research publication “Top Office Printers for 2011,” an in-depth study which rates printer devices overall in terms of sustainability, functionality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Metrofuser’s findings show that the most cost-effective printers right now are not new printers. In fact The Best Office Printers for 2011 were built between 2001 and 2009. Laser printer and MFPs evolved very quickly in the late eighties and nineties. Since then, however, the acceleration of that technological development has slowed down, creating a marketplace opportunity for the consumer – these older models offer a huge range of features, workhorse performance and deliver flawless prints. The report represents the best-in-breed for businesses with varying printing needs.

The Selection Process
Derived from historical service data and research from commonly failed parts this list is a comprehensive yet concise look at the print devices that will help maximize businesses print budgets. The printers selected were chosen for their noteworthy;

 Service Reliability

HP 4200 Ripping Sleeve: Problem Solved

2010-09-30T12:35:00.000-07:00

Metrofuser implements 2nd Generation AntiTear™ Technology solving Industry wide epidemic of failing fusers

Roselle NJ – October 1st, 2010 Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) has released its next generation engineering upgrade that has solved the defect than has plagued the imaging industry.

The Delaminated Fuser

The HP 4200 printer is a widely used 35 page per minute printer in the corporate environment however users of HP LaserJet 4200 series printers have experienced printing problems caused by delaminated or torn film on the product’s fuser and occurring long before the end of the fuser’s 200,000-page life. The delaminating causes a catastrophic image defect and has shortened the life of the fuser considerably.

After months of research and development, Metrofuser has built upon its existing technology that has corrected the film delaminating on the HP 4200 Fusing Assembly. The proprietary upgrade has been implemented in the production of the fuser.

The next Generation AntiTear™ Fuser Technology will dramatically change the landscape for the parts and service industry. This breakthrough will move us from reduction of film tears to complete elimination. Most importantly the next generation of AntiTear™ will enable the 4200 printer to be a viable solution in the modern (MPS) manage printer service environment.

Due to high demand, quantities may be limited. Call now to reserve your orders!

Metrofuser Adds Leasing Options To Remanufactured Laser Printers

Metrofuser Adds Leasing Options To Remanufactured Laser Printers http://www.metrofuser.com/newsroom/2010/leasing.htm

Resellers can significantly enhance the value they provide to their customers by offering the option of lease vs. buy at the time of printer quote.

August 1, 2010- Roselle, New Jersey- HP parts provider Metrofuser (www.metofuser.com) has announced today an exclusive leasing alliance between its Resellers and its Leasing Partners. With this alliance, Metrofuser’s resellers can significantly enhance the value they provide to their customers by offering them the option of lease vs. buy at the time of quote.

Resellers, working with Metrofuser, will offer and facilitate leases to qualified end-user customers. Metrofuser can jointly assist resellers to pre-qualify end-user organizations for eligibility. This will significantly expedite the progress.

Pre-qualified companies will have access to a host of tools to help them evaluate the buy vs. lease tradeoff. They will also have the ability to track the status of the lease application and have access to other lease-related support. Moreover, Metrofuser’s leasing partners will provide tools and training to resellers to familiarize them with various lease options.

"The vast majority of small and medium size businesses that purchase IT equipment do so through a lease program," stated Will DeMuth Chief Operating Officer "By entering into this leasing alliance, we look forward to assisting resellers to enhance their value-add to their customer base, while allowing them to capture end-of-lease product cycle opportunities."

"Integrating the technology that the customer requires with the right financing, at the point of purchase, clearly enhances the value of the distribution supply chain

Our Certified Remanufactured Printers already have the lowest cost of ownership due to the capacity of the toner cartridge and completive pricing. With the introduction of leasing, this option will be the lowest cost of acquisition at the fleet level. Our resellers will have an advantage when competing for fleet sales or against new OEM product.

With the increased cash flow flexibility offered by a lease program and remanufactured printer, end-user organizations may have the ability to consider other products and upgrades such as MPS / service agreements and accessories without exceeding their budget.

Metrofuser’s Trade-in and Save Program further enhances the cost of acquisition by allowing the end user the ability to trade in his old printer and reduce the cost of the newly remanufactured one.

ROSELLE NJ, July 9th , 2010 -- Inc. magazine today ranked Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) in its annual Inc. 500/5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

This honor marks the third year in a row that Metrofuser has been acknowledged by the magazine for its consistently rapid revenue growth. “This is all the more remarkable given the recent state of the economy,” said William DeMuth, Chief Operating Officer. “Our people have worked hard to develop value-added services and the exceptional quality our customers have grown to expect.”

“Between opening up a West Coast Distribution facility, adding printer repair training and remanufactured printers and continuing to be ahead of the curve in product development, we’ve managed to continue growing in an unfriendly economic climate,” said Eric Katz, Metrofuser’s Chief Financial Officer. “To be recognized in consecutive years is a great accomplishment.”

Metrofuser remanufactures and distributes laser printer parts, remanufactured printers and offers service training for HP, Lexmark and Canon laser printers.

The 2010 Inc. 5000, unveiled, serves as a unique report card on the U.S. economy. Despite the ongoing recession. Making the list perhaps the best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on the economy.

Metrofuser Selected in Manage Print Awards as Logistical Provider to MPS Industry.
Manage Print Industry Association Nominates Metrofuser as a Infrastructure Logistical Provider

Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) was awarded a 2010 Managed Print Services Leadership Award last week by the Managed Print Services Association (MPSA). Metrofuser received second place honors as a top Infrastructure Logistical Provider and was presented the award during the 2010 North American MPS Conference in San Antonio, TX.

The MPSA used a balanced scorecard methodology based on core abilities, best practices and business benefits, giving the nod to Metrofuser in a highly competitive process.

"We are honored that the MPSA recognized our StockWorksMPS solution and other MPS support programs with this award," said Dennis Fotopoulos, Director of Strategic Business Development for Metrofuser.. He added, "We've worked hard to develop software-independent solutions that empowers our customers to be competitive across the growing MPS landscape no matter which MPS software or strategy they deploy."
According to Jim Fitzpatrick, President of the MPSA, "Metrofuser resolved one of the biggest problems that faces MPS Service dealers, which is how to stock and maintain parts for all of these units and still maintain a pofit margin with uncertain usage?"

The challenge is to have enough service parts available immediately to ensure quick service and break-fix response, but the inventory cost can be prohibitive.

Fitzpatrick added that, "Metrofuser applied some really out-of-the-box thinking, and developed a parts consignment
"pay as you go" model, outside of their other MPS offerings. The MPSA believes that with these solutions, Metrofuser shows true leadership in our industry. "

The MPSA said the high level of participation and competitiveness between companies showed the strength of the industry. The awards saw 53 companies from 12 countries competing in five categories.

“Better Then New” P3005, 2015 Formatters
Now Available at Metrofuser

Roselle NJ – September 26th, 2009 Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) announced the availability of Better than New formatter boards for the HP P3005 and 2015 printers.

Toner or Paper light flashing and wont post to ready
“Freezes on Memory Count”
“49.FF”
“Replace Memory Dimm”
“Replace Dimm Zero”
“Flashing HP logo”

Metrofuser’s formatters are now equipped with heatsinks mounted on the processor to extend the life of the board. All re-chipped boards are put through a 24 hour burn in period to ensure reliability. Finally, all formatters are upgraded with the latest firmware to eliminate the 49.FF errors. The original MAC address is maintained.

“This repair solution we’ve implemented for the most troublesome formatter failures we’ve seen in years is a prime example of Metrofuser’s commitment to improve upon original equipment designs,” says Will DeMuth, Co-President, “The evolution continues here at Metrofuser as we roll out more and more parts solutions that make our products ‘Better than New’.”

Service companies can send boards to Metrofuser for repair to have this engineering upgrade installed or purchase the improved design part through Metrofuser’s advance exchange program. These engineering upgrades allow Metrofuser to double the 3-month OEM warranty on these parts to a 6 month warranty.

Remanufacturing Evolution
Metrofuser believes remanufacturing is not only an eco-friendly alternative, but it is also a chance for the part to evolve from its original state. At Metrofuser each repair generation is an evolution to greater quality - a continuous improvement from the original factory model. From implementing engineering upgrades and component-level redesigns all the way through to process engineering efficiencies, the evolution and innovation never stops at Metrofuser.

Metrofuser Implements Command Center Technology

2009-04-29T15:31:00.001-07:00

Metrofuser Implements
Command Center Technology

New Technology Increases Process Engineering Efficiency

Roselle NJ- May 1, Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) has implemented Command Center Technology in its production department.

Command Center is a culmination of 4 years of development by teams within Metrofuser’s production and logistics departments. The technology is integrated into Metrofuser’s ERP software which feeds real-time production and logistics information to a 42" LCD Display located on the production floor providing Metrofuser's team leaders and the production manager with unprecedented visibility into operational statistics. The data feed will enable managers to quickly act on any issue which, in turn, will even further improve Metrofuser's efficiency and quality.

"The live data feed will allow better visibility to emulate what works throughout the production department and make corrections to what doesn't work quickly and efficiently," says Will DeMuth, Chief Operating Officer at Metrofuser, "This technology will bridge the gap between individual judgment and our existing process engineering. "

Metrofuser’s Command Center Technology scales across all departments providing real-time data views to technicians, sales and logistics personnel. "We believe the impact is going to be dramatic, "adds DeMuth, "the technology is intended to reach beyond the walls of production to everyone in the company."

Areas of Impact

Improves management of time and materials
Increases ability to manage capacity with demand
Eliminates "Just-in-Case" inventory
Reduces material trafficking
Provides increased accuracy in measuring individual production performance.

Metrofuser Introduces StockWorks™ MPS

2009-02-10T10:58:00.000-08:00

Metrofuser Introduces StockWorks™ MPS

Advance stock program designed to help MPS providers reduce costs, improve uptime

Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) today announced the release of its StockWorks MPS program for laser printer service companies and rechargers that are offering Managed Print Services (MPS) solutions to their customers. StockWorks MPS, while designed with the MPS provider in mind, is completely software-independent and does not require a specific brand of MPS software.

MPS providers face the challenge of keeping larger inventories and in some cases multiple remote inventory “closets” at customer sites across the country to ensure that they are able to quickly respond to their customers’ printer repair and maintenance needs. Keeping a vast inventory and shipping parts overnight directly to customer sites at a premium eats away at margins already burdened by the current state of the economy. StockWorks MPS eliminates those costs and increases equipment up-time.

Metrofuser Sales Representatives can do a quick trending analysis of an MPS provider’s stock and with some forecasting provided by the MPS provider, Metrofuser will come up with a program that primarily consigns stock to the customer. Customers participating in the program will also be able to enjoy other benefits such as low-to-no cost shipping rates, periodic trending analysis and inventory usage reports, industry forecasting and trending information, ROI analyses, and so on.

“We wanted to come up with a program for all of our customers who have deployed Managed Print Services without mandating or promoting specific software to them,” said Dennis Fotopoulos, Metrofuser’s Director of Strategic Business Development. “In coming up with this program, our intent was to stick with our core competencies – that is, providing high-quality remanufactured laser printer parts along with world-class logistical and fulfillment services.”

“We started this program to enable us to partner with our customers to save on the costly burden of overnight shipping,” said Eric Katz, Metrofuser’s Co-Owner and CFO. “If we’re constantly shipping parts overnight to any one customer, no matter who’s footing that bill or whether we’re splitting it, we’re not optimizing our partnership. We’re both passing our revenues on to the shippers. Metrofuser is willing to take on 90% of our customers’ inventory risk ourselves if we can curtail those practices.”

Metrofuser has been running a controlled introduction of the program and the response has been positive. Says one service provider in South Carolina, “Metrofuser has reduced shipping costs for me, and at the same time has allowed me to increase much-needed inventory without increasing my inventory costs. When I need something immediately, I don’t have to scamper around to get it overnighted.”

Adds Fotopoulos, “We believe that Managed Print Services is here to stay – and while we won’t compete with our customers and throw our hat into the software sales ring, we are committed to focusing on providing services and solutions to our customers that will make their MPS model all that much more profitable.”

Metrofuser Announces the Release of ZeroSet Technology for the Color LaserJet 4700/4730MFP Line of Printers.

2008-12-04T14:56:00.000-08:00

Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) has introduced ZeroSet technology into their remanufactured HP LaserJet 4700 fusers. ZeroSet technology is a new remanufacturing solution that will automatically reset the fuser count to zero upon fuser installation. According to the HP LaserJet 4700 service manual, an OEM fuser "contains a fuseable link that is opened when a new fuser is first installed in the printer. This resets the page cound of the fuser to zero."

Before ZeroSet, remanufacturers have been distributing fusers that will either not reset the fuser count or have resorted to selling expensive OEM fusers to customers. Metrofuser's ZeroSet technology employs a fuseable link solution similar OEM fuser proprietary technology enabling Metrofusers remanufactured 4700 fuser to properly reset the fuser count to zero upon installation.

"Technicians have always reset page counts themselves, but HP has designed their fusers to reset the fuser page count automatically," said Mark Makuch, Operations Manager at Metrofuser, "With ZeroSet technology, techs can install our remanufactured fusers and be confident that the fuser count will automatically reset like it is supposed to."

"Remanufactured fusers without ZeroSet technology usually will not reset the fuser page count or clear the "REPLACE IMAGE FUSING UNIT" maintenance message," adds Will DeMuth, COO and co-President, "Not resetting the maintenance message or fuser count leaves the technician guessing about fuser life and risks them changing a fuser with thousands of pages worth of life left, or worse, over-extending the fuser potentially risking the printer going down. ZeroSet saves the technician time and their customer money."

REMANUFACTURING MOVING BACK TO US FROM OVERSEAS

2008-07-31T09:05:00.000-07:00

REMANUFACTURING MOVING BACK TO US FROM OVERSEAS
Reversing the Decades-Old Trend to Outsource Remanufacturing

In May of this year, global imaging company Canon announced plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities. Given the state of the global economy, they haven’t chosen to do so locally in Japan, nor in the manufacturing-rich and emerging economies of the rest of Eastern Asia. Rather, they have chosen to build it in Virginia, the heart of the eastern United States.

Once the epicenter of global manufacturing, US companies have moved much of their manufacturing outside of the country over the past decades. Canon breaking ground on a new manufacturing facility in the US reverses this trend and creates jobs and certainly eliminates some of the supply chain challenges that they would have faced by importing products from around the globe for resale in the US.

What are the reasons for the trend reversal? In Canon's case, one reason is the positive impact on reducing the CO2 footprint. Tsuneji Uchida, president and chief operating officer, Canon Inc. said in a statement released by Canon, “the combination of producing, selling, collecting and recycling cartridges locally, and eliminating the need to transport products around the world, will allow us to have a positive environmental impact by helping to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide.”

Another reason comes right down to the bottom line savings in time and money. Uchida added that “Canon’s new automated production system will enable the Company to maintain cost competitive manufacturing, better manage labor costs and deliver products in a timely fashion.”

There it is – Finally, the perfect storm that results in localized cost-competitive manufacturing. Until recently, these winds have only skirted US shores, not making any significant impact on the economy, the environment and corporate bottom lines. Now, however, the front has a head-on bearing for us, and it has become the perfect time to turn this storm into a domestic windfall for manufacturing and re-manufacturing companies of all sizes.

The Trend is Clear - Domestic Outsourcing is the Answer
Canon's move validates what remanufacturers across the country have been suggesting for some time – domestic remanufacturing saves time, cost and the environment by simplifying logistics and reducing a company’s carbon footprint. Further, considering the weak dollar and the rising cost of energy worldwide, it makes more sense than it ever has to localize the remanufacturing of IT maintenance items and high mortality parts found in computers, copiers, faxes and printers.

Corporations that do not have the manufacturing infrastructure that companies like Canon have can now look to local manufacturing and logistics companies for solutions that were financially and logistically prohibitive in the not so distant past. Larger service companies and OEMs alike are calling on remanufacturing companies like Metrofuser for reclamation, defective inventory management, recycling and remanufacturing, and warehouse logistics.

As larger OEMs continue to consider domestic remanufacturing and logistics solutions to increase margins and reduce logistical overhead, will US remanufacturing companies answer the call? Will DeMuth, CEO of Metrofuser states, “Over the last year, Metrofuser has invested significant time and resources into providing (those solutions).” He adds, “our commitment to develop and improve service solutions has already helped OEMs maintain their commitment to their own customers, the environment, and their bottom line as we provide them with quality remanufactured laser imaging system components.”

Metrofuser’s August, 2008 move to its new technology center and corporate headquarters in Roselle, NJ “will enable us to expand our operations even further,” DeMuth said.

Metrofuser Celebrates Earth Day – Achieves Another Environmental Milestone
Metrofuser spent earth week celebrating its reclamation of over 600,000 pounds of used computer hardware through its recycling program since the company’s inception in 2004. In July, 2006, Metrofuser had announced its reclamation of over 240,000 pounds and set a goal of 500,000 by the end of 2007.
“We are elated that we not only met our goal set in ’06, but we have far exceeded it,” said Will DeMuth, Co-President, “Contributing to a cleaner environment, establishing ourselves as an environmentally responsible corporate citizen, and continuing to raise the bar to increase responsibility industry-wide.”
As promised in 2006, Metrofuser continued to expand its program through 2007 by raising awareness and increasing the rate of electronics recycling among its business consumers in the United States. “Optimally, we want to achieve a 100% recycling rate, and we will strive to improve and continue to expand the program until we meet that goal.” Last year the imaging recycling industry saved 131 million pounds of solid waste from our nations landfills.

New Partnership Solidifies LeadershipTeam at Metrofuser

2008-01-25T11:17:00.001-08:00

New Partnership Solidifies LeadershipTeam at Metrofuser
Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) announced that it has implemented a new partnership agreement between co- founder and current Vice President of Marketing and Logistics, Will DeMuth, and current Chief Financial Officer, Eric Katz. Todd Katz, former Vice President of Sales has sold his share of the company. "Todd played an integral role in starting this company," Demuth remarked in a statement issued to employees. "His talents and hard work were vital to the early success of Metrofuser. We all wish him the best of success in his future endeavors."
With the new partnership agreement, Eric Katz will become Co- President with DeMuth while continuing his role as Chief Financial Officer. DeMuth will continue his role as Marketing and Logistics lead. The new partnership is intended to solidify the leadership team at Metrofuser. Mark Makuch remains the Director of Operations and Ken Lang had already stepped in and taken over Todd Katz's position as head of the sales department in 2007. "With Eric as Co-President, we can strengthen the foundation that has made Metrofuser the world-class printer parts manufacturer that it is today," DeMuth stated. "We will continue to improve upon that legacy and provide our customers with the best solutions that the industry has to offer."
Since 2005, Eric Katz has been instrumental in establishing the momentum that Metrofuser has created for itself. Katz's entrepreneurial experience began as co-founder and Director of Research of Jumar Technologies, a New York-based software company. Katz, a graduate of Yale University, also spent several years teaching math, English and creative writing at a public school in the South Bronx and currently sits on the Board of Advisors for the Bronx Academy of Letters.
Katz joined Metrofuser and his diverse skill set and versatility have been invaluable in Metrofuser's rapid development. He has helped steer the ship through three consecutive years of 60+ percent revenue growth and proved his executive value by taking the lead role in Metrofuser's expansion to the West Coast, where David Burchell currently runs Metrofuser’s Santa Ana distribution center. "I don't think we could have pulled off opening our new facility in southern California without Eric's leadership and meticulousness," Demuth said. "There are so many operational, logistical and administrative challenges associated with taking a successful small business and making it a national entity, but with the team we've assembled here, I feel confident that we can handle anything."
Next on the horizon is expanding the production, engineering and distribution facilities in New Jersey. "I look forward to this partnership with Will," Eric Katz added, “and I’m really excited by the opportunities that our relocation will afford us. In a larger facility, we’ll be able to service more customers and explore more markets, build our dedicated team and maintain our obsessive commitment to our customers’ satisfaction."
What else will this new partnership bring? Katz and DeMuth both agree that Metrofuser must continue to explore strategic partnership and acquisition opportunities, launch incentive programs for employees and partners, and more. DeMuth added, "We will, of course, continue with our never-ending new product developments and commitment to product quality."

Metrofuser Enters its 5th Year

2007-12-14T11:20:00.000-08:00

Metrofuser Enters its 5th Year
From a basement to “better than OEM,” Metrofuser’s growth continues

September, 2007, marked the onset of Metrofuser's 5th year. Metrofuser, a printer parts remanufacturing company that got its start refurbishing HP LaserJet printer fusers in a co-founder's basement, has grown into a multi-million dollar national corporation that has built its reputation on pioneering “better-than-OEM” remanufactured printer parts.

“I admit, even from those humble beginnings, I have said that our mission isn’t to be the biggest – just the best at serving our customers and employees,” said Will DeMuth, Vice President of Marketing and Logistics, “As we enter our 5th year, and I take a moment to reflect on how far we have come, I truly believe that we have accomplished being the best at serving our customers, and it is only because of our dedicated and talented team here at Metrofuser.”

From out of the basement came a company that got a shot in the arm when they moved to its current facility in Roselle, New Jersey in March of 2004.

Since then, Metrofuser has developed solutions for some of the most frustrating issues that printer service companies have had to experience, namely, in September, 2005, when Metrofuser developed a fix for the defective HP 4200 fuser sleeve. Under the guidance of Mark Makuch, a charter associate and Operations Manager for Metrofuser, the Metrofuser technical research and development team devised a proprietary repair that solved the problem, thus increasing Metrofuser's credibility and reputation within the marketplace.

Drawing from increasing revenues, Metrofuser continued to invest in its Research and Development efforts to expand its line of remanufactured printer parts. In October, 2006 the company devised repair and replacement parts solutions for Lexmark printers, thus beginning the effort to ensure its scalability across a very competitive market environment. “I believe that our entry into the Lexmark repair market has provided our customers with the answer they have been looking for,” stated Ken Lang, Director of Sales, “a single, reliable repair depot for ALL of their laser printer needs – not just for HP.”

With national sales and product inventory on the rise, Metrofuser opened a West-Coast printer parts distribution center in Orange County, CA to significantly reduce shipping costs and times for their growing customer base in the Western and Midwestern United States.

“One of our goals this past year was to provide balance across both coasts – to provide our Western U.S. customers with the same fast and reliable service that we have provided our Eastern U.S. customers since the company opened its doors,” added Eric Katz, Chief Financial Officer, “we continue to grow and now we are preparing to move our corporate headquarters to a larger facility.”

The immediate future brings big plans for the growing company, including expanding the production, engineering and distribution facilities in Roselle by moving to a larger facility, exploring strategic partnerships and acquisitions, and launching incentive programs for employees and partners, not to mention continuing new product developments.

Can Metrofuser maintain the momentum? DeMuth says yes, “I have no doubt that we can maintain our status as a world-class logistics and repair center,” he adds, “better than OEM (printer parts) – that's our goal, and the fact that we have been achieving that goal for the better part of 5 years is truly a testament to the commitment of all of the people that work here.”
From out of the basement came a company that got a shot in the arm when they moved to its current facility in Roselle, New Jersey in May of 2004.

Technician ID: Allows Metrofuser to isolate, quantify, track and grade the performance history all of the company’s technicians.

Industry Friendly Part Number: Allows experienced and industry newcomers to quickly and easily identify parts and cores which speeds up your reorder process and reduces the chance of ordering incompatible parts.

Generic ID: Allows your technicians and buyers to easily identify Metrofuser products while the company remains a silent and trusted partner.

STOCKWORKS- A Better Way To Plan Your Parts Inventory.

2006-03-14T12:49:00.000-08:00

March 15, 2006- Roselle, New Jersey- HP LaserJet printer parts provider Metrofuser has announced its new inventory management reporting tool, STOCKWORKS.

A Better Way To Plan Your HP Inventory
Profitability in parts results from a delicate balance between inventory turns and coverage. Coverage that's too thin may result in lost sales opportunities or missed customer expectations. Coverage that's too broad fills your shelves with slow-moving parts that sit rather than sell, negatively affecting your cash flow. STOCKWORKS will help you achieve a successful balance between turns and coverage, taking the guesswork out of inventory stocking and replacing it with hard data.

STOCKWORKS leverages Metrofuser’s experience and collected sales data to effectively identify how well your printer parts are selling and, in turn, helps you to narrow down the critical inventory choices that make sense for your business.

STOCKWORKS gives you greater control over inventory turns and order filling. Inventory ranking is sorted by the total cost of part number purchased over a specified period of time in relation to the total cost of all parts purchased, so you'll know what to stock based on value. The data from STOCKWORKS lets you fine-tune inventory for the order fill you want. You can adjust any product level by adjusting the specified period, and percent coverage desired.

The way that we help you apply STOCKWORKS to your own business Is, first, we analyze three months of sales history. Next we generate reports that illustrate the inventory model that suits you business. Even if you don't purchase Metrofuser parts, we maintain various printer parts inventory models to choose from. Finally your Metrofuser representative will make inventory recommendations to match your business objectives.

Metrofuser Develops Fix forHP 4200 Fuser Film Factory Defect

2005-10-27T05:11:00.000-07:00

Metrofuser Develops Fix forHP 4200 Fuser Film Factory Defect

"Metrofuser's 4200 fusers are by far the most reliable on the Market"Rick Cohen- Laser Technologies

Monday, September 19, 2005-Roselle New Jersey—Printer Parts remanufacturer Metrofuser has announced a solution to a notorious defect than has plagued the imaging industry.

After months of research and development, Metrofuser has developed an engineering upgrade that has corrected the film delaminating on the HP 4200 Fusing Assembly. The proprietary upgrade has been implemented in the production of the fuser and has resulted in a 98% reduction in film failures. Service companies and resellers now have access to a low cost, quality fuser that will not let them down or their customers down.

The Delaminated Fuser
Users of certain HP LaserJet 4200 series printers have experienced printing problems caused by delaminated or torn film on the product’s fuser and occurring long before the end of the fuser’s 200,000-page life. The delaminating causes a catastrophic image defect and has shortened the life of the fuser considerably.

Customer call backs for service companies have sky rocked due to the premature failures. Collectively this problem is estimated to cost service companies hundreds of thousands of dollars nationwide in repeat service calls. HP has published service notes on this issue dating back to March 2004. The problem is so wide spread HP has developed a revised model fusing assembly. The failures are seen in printers with the following range of number serial numbers.
