CLICK CHARGES — KNOW YOUR USAGE

Instead of a flat fee, Kodak uses volume bands that have a not-to-exceed ceiling. If users manage their systems to an efficient degree that yields a lower per-piece cost, it is the user, not the manufacturer, who pockets the difference.

“If you bought a competitive product and paid the click charge—let’s say six cents—you would pay that six cents no matter how well you manage the process,” Blumsack says. “We guarantee you it will cost no more than six cents; but if you manage your system better and it only cost you four cents, you made two extra cents.”
