[PrintOwners] Best Tabber Experience

[Bill Werkheiser]

I will ditto everything Dennis said about Kirk Rudy. My partner sold and serviced mailing equipment in his former life. He will not buy anything other than KR. He says it is built like a tank. We have their floor model inkjet and the inline programable tabber. Plus, if you need to, you can call and still talk to the owner of the company. It is not the cheapest choice but the best.
