Doctors Do Lots

With all the different design options to consider, suppliers still recognize that initial price may be a primary factor in the purchasing decision. If so, Lichon says to share this with the supplier so they can offer a system that meets any budget constraints. "However, regardless of your initial purchasing capabilities, always consider the long-term financial impact of your purchase," he cautions. "Even an inexpensive piece of doctoring blade can have a huge impact on your long- and short-term bottomline. Work with your supplier to help obtain the highest return for your dollar."
