The host of many POSGuys videos she now pulls the strings in the shadows of Ask POSGuys, plotting total global printer domination. She rules over the kitchen printers with an iron ribbon smashing fist, a BA in design, and over eight years print/design experience. Note: Camille does get this TM-U220 question a LOT and for her sanity, this post now exists.
