We recently visited the Sato operation in Romeoville, IL, and were impressed with the professionalism and the industry knowledge of the people of this organization.
Not only are the Sato LP 100R laser printers configured, tested, and shipped from this location, but Sato Labeling manufactures customer label products under the same roof. Sato is unique in the industry to be a vendor of both the label stock and the laser printer unit that together can produce high-quality production labels in high volumes. The benefit of this arrangement is that the "finger-pointing" is eliminated. No longer can the printer vendor blame the media, and the media folks say that any performance issue is the fault of the printer. In the heyday of old IBM mainframes, customers called this strategy was called "One Throat To Choke". It is a great concept and marries the key vendor responsibilities in the production printing of large volume label runs.
The Sato LP 100R can be reviewed on the GLM Group's web page by clicking here.
