Re: Page definitions/form definitions

[Bob Larkin <blarkin@xxxxxx>]

I don't know your volume requirements, but I have used Xerox equipment at 
several client locations to print HIGH volume. Output has run the gamut, 
including logos, shading, tumbled & Head-to-foot tumbling in both letter and 
legal sizes. There are several software packages to assist in developing output 
forms. A good Xerox rep would be able to assist you there.
