       • Dear Sun, As I am sure you can understand, we cannot divulge secretive information like monthly sales volume. Based on what you have told me, your volume is enough for us to be interested in your factory, especially given your broad range of products and your focus on quality control. However, my boss is not willing to switch accounts to any new supplier until we prove things out by moving slowly. The steps he would like to follow are: 1. We test a normal and high capacity cartridge internally in our office 2. We test on a broader scale with 100 units, preferably with a different printer line 3. We move to 1,000 units to test happiness with customers in our many channels of distribution 4. Assuming all goes well, we go to 5,000-10,000 units and really begin to migrate to your factory fully for that line
