LONG BEACH, Calif., Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Veterans Financial, Inc. is spreading the word about a little known benefit that is surprising many wartime veterans and their families – who may be eligible for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Aid and Attendance benefit to help with costs for independent or assisted living, nursing homes or in-home care. One of the cost-saving office tools that Veterans Financial uses to keep veterans, families or senior-living companies up to speed is the Epson B-510DN business color ink jet printer.

"The Epson printer is a valuable asset in our office – fast-paced, dependable, inexpensive to operate, and low maintenance," said Emily Schwarz, president and owner of Villanova, PA-based Veterans Financial, the leading provider of Aid and Attendance information to the assisted living industry. "We've seen clients cry with gratitude after we deliver the good news about this under-used federal program, and we view it as our responsibility to help the VA spread the word to those who have already given so much to our country. This valuable benefit along with careful financial planning is the cornerstone of our business."

Low-cost Color Network Printing

The staff uses the B-510DN network printer for fast, economical color printing of labels and documents like brochures, training manuals, VA paperwork, applications, letters, and reports. A key benefit of the Epson printer, with its affordable ink cost per color page, is that it allows them to print high-quality color documents more freely without worrying about the cost. Work groups or small- to medium-size businesses like Veterans Financial can now purchase a color network printing alternative for less than $600.

"Printing color on the Epson network printer costs about half as much per page as printing the same on our high-volume laser printer," said Schwarz. "It affords us the luxury of printing documents in color that we would have previously printed in black and white. There can be no doubt that the use of color boosts productivity and the effectiveness of the message we're putting out there."

Office workers can easily use the high-capacity front-loading paper cassette, which holds up to 500 letter or legal-size sheets for uninterrupted printing, or the rear-sheet feeder for specialty media such as labels and envelopes. Veterans Financial has especially found the Epson B-510DN useful for printing typically 40,000 mail labels per month, which it then provides to assisted living facilities to send to prospective residents as part of its customer outreach.

"We no longer have to deal with the frequent paper jams of the other printer when fed our routine stacks of label sheets," said Schwarz. "We just load the label sheets in the feeder and leave the printer to work its magic."

Dependable Resource

The dependable network printer also stretches the company's budget with features like an automatic duplexer for double-sided printing and individual, high-yield ink cartridges for less downtime and more productivity. "We don't think twice when using the Epson B-510DN," said Schwarz. "We know that the printer is getting the job done in its own efficient way."

Aided by technology tools like the Epson B-510DN, Veterans Financial advisors have counseled more than 35,000 families. They continue to conduct hundreds of workshops each year, and share information about Medicare/Medicaid, prescription drug benefits, taxation, long-term care insurance, annuities, and asset preservation. Teaming up with senior living professionals, home care agency administrators and financial service professionals is a key part of the company's business model. The Epson printer helps Veterans Financial keep that kind of vital information flowing to the families of veterans and the company's valued partners.

"Veterans Financial will continue to grow and develop better ways, like using the Epson B-510DN printer, to give back to our nation's senior citizens who have served this great country," said Schwarz. "Helping these World War II heroes and their families during their time of need is a great honor for us."
