LD Products launches video series

May 16, 2023

LD Products Channel Partner Division has launched a video series based on the comments dealers are making about printer OEM authorised reseller programme issues.

The company explained that this 6-part video series brings light to the issues dealers are expressing about the increasing trend of OEM programmes that are making dealers vulnerable when sharing end-user information.

Common dealer challenges include:

Exposing end-user information to OEM
Increasing OEM toner prices
OEM security firmware updates blocking aftermarket toner
Mandatory and burdensome reporting to the OEM
Lack of end-user control

“Printer OEMs are using their power to unfairly restrict competition, obtain sensitive information from dealers about their customer, and are prohibiting dealers from offering the brand of toner they want to offer,” Christian Pepper, President of LD Channel Partner Division remarks, “We’re showing what imaging dealers are saying behind the scenes and exposing the risks associated with the direction OEM authorised reseller programmes are moving towards,”.
