Steps To Buying A Copier

The first step to buying copiers in Fort Collins is to identify your copying needs. Think about how many copies you need to be able to make and how quickly, whether you need to make color copies or just black and white ones, and what sizes of paper you need to be able to use in the copier.

Next, consider your budget. Remember to take the cost of toner into account, as some brands of copier require more expensive toner replacements, and some copiers require more frequent replacements.

Once you know what you are looking for, and how much you have to spend, your next step will be to identify retailers of copiers in Fort Collins.  Look in local directories and online — Good job!  You found us!.

When you have identified a Fort Collins copier retailer who appears reliable, find out what they have for sale. Remember to check whether there are any special offers or used copiers for sale in Fort Collins, as this could save you some money. Compare each model to your list of requirements and budget. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask a sales rep for help.

Accessories – How Much is too Much?

Is Your Copier Company Robbing You through Accessories?

Is Your Copier Company Robbing You through Accessories?

Drawers, Fax options, Scan kits, data security kits, extra memory, finishers and extra drawers… all of these have a cost.  Many customers will take “all the bells and whistles” not knowing what this can do to the bottom line.  the average finisher costs about an extra $1,000.  An extra drawer, on average $350. Fax option at least $500.   If you are not using one of these options, you are paying too much.

So, why aren’t the accessories included in the cost?  (If yours are, you are still paying for them…)  Basically, the simple answer is the manufacturers know not everyone needs them, so why put themselves at a competitive disadvantage when a well educated consumer starts looking into these costs.

If you need a printer or copier, do your best to get only the options you need as the additional options always cost more money.

Please call us for all of your printer, copier or toner needs in Fort Collins CO!

Don't Get Pressured Into a Bad Printer Decision in Fort Collins!

Don't Get Pressured Into a Bad Printer Decision in Fort Collins!

Sure you could buy a $10,000 color copier in Fort Collins, but really all you need are some color brochures to give to your customers.  If you do Marketing brochures, the prints are almost always more expensive than advertised.  Why?  A little secret in our industry is called coverage.  If your whole page is covered in Yellow, you will have about 100% coverage.  What if it is Orange…  well, now you are closer to 200% coverage (Yellow + Magenta (mostly)…)

Now, why does this matter?  If you were to buy an HP ColorLaserJet 4700DN,  you would spend about $.12 per color print based on HP’s estimate…  but this is all based on 20% color coverage.  Now you may indeed do 20% color coverage, it is the business document average, after all.  But if this is a Marketing application, it is more likely to average 50% to 60% coverage.  What does this mean for you?  The $.12 per color print has just gone to $.30 – $.36 per color print.  Wow…  What the printer companies won’t tell you.  (It’s really our job to educate you on this, but very few do…)

We have a program that can get you closer to $.06 per color print, regardless of your coverage.  It comes with the Xerox Phaser 8860 color printer.  If you want to see how this program works and if it makes sense for you, please give us a call for your color laser printer needs in Fort Collins!

Xerox WorkCentre 6400 Review

Xerox WorkCentre 6400

Xerox WorkCentre 6400

Have you been looking for a color copier in Fort Collins and want some thing reliable and easy to use?  The Xerox WorkCentre 6400 may be just right for you!  This copier would not be great if you are doing 5,000 color prints a month because the cost per print is far too high for this kind of volume when compare to other Xerox copier products.  However, if you are doing 500 to 1,500 color copies a month, this could be perfect because the cost of the Xerox WorkCentre 6400 is so low here in Fort Collins.

Copier reps in Fort Collins will want to sell you an expensive tabloid capable copier no matter what your volume of color prints are, so this is something to consider if you do not like the typical $7,000 or so price tag on a copier in Fort Collins.  Please give us a call for your Fort Collins Copier needs!

Is Your Fort Collins Copier Costing a Bundle?

October 28th, 2009 No comments »

cash

Many companies in Fort Collins are spending a ton on their printers and their copiers.  The Gartner Group estimates that 3% of a companies revenues are spent on printing and copying.  This is a massive number.  Especially if you conside for a $10,000,000 a year company, we would expect $300,000 to go to printers and copiers.  The biggest issues is most of these remain unmanaged.

If you own a company, do you know how much each page costs you?  If you are like 95% of the customers without a print management strategy in Fort Collins, you do not.  This would be like owning a fleet of vehicles and having NO IDEA what gas was costing you.  Laser Printers which are unmanaged, are almost always expensive.  Copiers are just as bad.

What do you need to do?

  1. Stop Buying!!  Assess where you are, how many pages are being printed, by whom, etc
  2. Have analysis (either internal or external) done so you can look for cost savings or headache saving measures for your organization
  3. Call us for a free on site assessment!
