General Business/Major Topic

A large group assembled in the business front of Aztec Copies and the meeting began at approximately 4:55 as our hosts were anxious and excited to begin telling us about this company. Our group was treated to a presentation/discussion about the business and its employees, its use of technology, its equipment and its services to the public. Aztec is a full service copy business which does all type of copying services. After viewing this part of the business, Ed took us into the "art" section of the business. Here, they do reproduction artwork for artists from across the northeast. One of the services that Aztec provides is that it reproduces artwork for artists that is of the calibre that the copies can be matted, framed, and sold as numbered prints. Ed described the "route" that a piece of artwork takes through his equipment, starting on his scanner (approximate value: $10,000) until it is printed on a large printer that can print on all types of art stock. Ed prides himself on doing all types of jobs and feels that customer service, and job turnaround time, are critical to his business.
