To get certified, members must have the equipment to download a file from an ftp site, print it and send the print to the technical committee, then upload a file to another ftp site so it can be printed there. The group doesn't recommend specific brands or machines, trying to keep vendors out of the process. This allows shops of all sizes to belong to the Network as long as they can print and deliver the jobs. As long as they can get the job done today. The cost is incredibly low.

And, if you choose your service wisely and market it well, you should be able to count on that intolerance to strengthen your bottom line.
