In the 5 years that I have been a dealer for QMS and The Laser connection, I have never known them to sell to end users. 3 or 4 days ago I had a talk both with my QMS rep and IMAGEN. I was told that the Ultrascript product won't work on an IMAGEN 8300, even though it supports EPSON mode???? (Told That by Imagen). I was told in detail, about what was going on with Imagen, (by The Laser Connection), and that "they had had a fight with Imagen, and that they were allowed to sell only to dealers, and only in 10 unit lots". Now I am very good friends with LOTS of people at The Laser Connection and QMS. The particular person who told me this, was Pam Callicott, whom I've dealt with for years. I am willing to believe that I may have not gotten the entire answer, but I implicitly trust my source.... Imagen told me that I'd have to get USPC from The Laser Connection...... ThThese people( Imagen), I don't know. e Cheers Woody
