Photocopier advice for buyers part.1

A photocopier is often an expensive investment. The hefty sticker prices on new copiers encourage many businesses to consider buying used copiers. Often, this can be a smart choice: properly refurbished copiers can be a dependable part of your office for years.

Most photocopy machines are good for four or five years of reliable use. But if you're looking to replace this office workhorse, you'd best be aware that photocopier technology isn't quite the same as it was the last time you shopped around. Reacquaint yourself with the world of photocopiers in order to find the right device for your company.

Today's digital technology allows the majority of our Photocopier range to be connected to your computer network. Modern digital copiers are sometimes referred to as "multifunctional products" because they can do more than just copy, allowing to print, fax, copy, email and scan in monochrome and or colour using the same device, straight from your computer desktop. You may want extensive document handling and sorting/stapling features. And you also need to decide whether you need a copier that supports color - expect to pay 20% to 30% more if you do.

End of part one. In part two we will go deeper in to copier specifications for client requirements.
