The fact is that it cost you only the cost of power and ink to produce that neighborhood leaflet, plus wear and tear on the printer.
And the costs associated with the huge building around it. And the costs associated with calibrating the damn thing for one run. And the fact that you can just ask 100 copies but that it immediately spits out a few thousands at a minimum. And that you need a crew of 10 to run it instead of the single guy pressing a button on the copier. etc. etc.
Maybe you don't have any experience with manufacturing through processes that are set up for scale? The engineering reality is that you can't scale them down and expect running costs per unit to stay the same. It just doesn't work that way.
Anyway. I don't think we are getting any further. Let's wait and see what happens next quarter. I think I said the same thing to @vgrinshpun when I had about the same discussion with him last quarter. We've been waiting for how many quarters now for the TE ramp up now? One more will hurt no-one, right.
