Many of you may be in the market for a new printer or have
already purchased one only to be shocked by the cost of supplies or unable to
find good service. Here are a few tips to assist you in selecting the right
machine for your company's needs:
·
consider your office needs/use when
determining what kind of printer or copier you should shop for. Will you be
printing black and white or color?
·
As a consumer you deserve to have a
choice of supplies and suppliers. If saving money is more important, you may want
to consider equipment that presents the least restrictions and support
companies that can handle all of your needs.
·
Don't underestimate the importance of
knowing what service and parts are available and where your local service
center is.
·
Before buying a printer make sure about
how much their toner cartridges go for cause the purchase price may be
inexpensive but that saving may go down the drain when you have to buy toner
that is expensive.
·
Take in consideration how much repairs
will be if the printer or copier has to be repaired for any reason.
If your aim is to save money:
Refurbished copiers and printers
The option to buy refurbished copiers or printers is also an
option but always make sure the counter readings is low and that they test the
copier or printer before you decide on leaving the premises, make sure the
copier or printer carries a full factory
guarantee.
Prepaid copiers and printers
This is a first in South Africa, PayAsYouCopy supply you as
customer with a copier or printer, no long term contracts. The customer pay
upfront for the amount of copies needed, after receiving of payment the central
office will load the copies to the copier or printer. There is a prewarning
system when the credits gets low so that the client does not run out of copy
credits. This concept works almost the same as prepaid airtime – very flexible.
