Corporate budgets are tight and most companies do not have the time to research all the laser jet printer and copier models. HP changes printer models every 6 months. Other brands of laser printers and digital copier come out with several new models every year.   Why?  To get you to replace perfectly good used printers and copiers before you need to.

What is the estimated life of your equipment? When you purchase new equipment how do you determine what best fits your needs now and in the future? Or do you just look at the hardware cost of the laser printer or copier printer digital.

Office equipment prices have dropped drastically over the past few years. You can now purchase a 25ppm laser based printers for under $300.  Ink based machines start at $49 or less. However, are these low end digital copiers and printers laser based right for you?  What will it cost you over the life of the equipment? If you purchased based on cost are there alternatives.

Did you know that the least expensive laser printers and ink based machines cost the most to use? Ink based printers costs, on the average, 12.8 cents per page. Low end black and white toner based printers cost 3.5 to 5 cents per page.  How can this bee when they say it cost 6 Cents to 8 Cents per page?  Because they are quoting you a page at 5% ink or toner coverage. Most people pages produced from deskjets, laser jet and copier are 12% to 17% coverage.

Plus, most of the low copiers and laser jet printers have a very short life and many of them are considered throwaway equipment.   Can you afford to throw printer, copiers and faxes machines away every year? Over the life of the HP laser printer, copier printer the mid-range and higher equipment save their owners over on the average $3,479 dollars verses low end machines based on government studies.

What’s the alternative?

(Are You Getting the Color Laser Printer Copier Raw Deal?)

by Michael Klein Advanced Business Computers, Inc.

Color printers are getting less and less expensive. However, the actual cost of using them is very high.  Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Minolta and Dell are practically giving away color printers with some models as low as $300.  However, there is a catch and many companies, government agencies and schools are getting a raw deal.

What Raw deal?

It’s simple. HP, Dell, and other color laser manufactures just about give away their machines and stick it to you with the cost of supplies. You get hit with ultra high operating costs and the manufacturers makes a bundle off you.

Did you know the actual cost of a color page printed on a low cost printer copier (cost of supplies, maintenance, repairs, etc.) is on the average over $0.16 per page and in some cases much higher depending upon the amount of text or toner used on the page?

“How To Select the Right color printer, Copier or MFD”

First, remember the cost of the actual color printer copier scanner has a DIRECT relation to the cost of operating it.  Hewlett Packard, Dell, Sharp, Xerox, and other equipment manufacturers have a scheme.

Color Laser printer copier companies hook you with a inexpensive printer and pound you with high supply costs

Simply put the low end printers cost the most to operate. If you purchase equipment by price you will lose you shirt in the long run!  before you buy determine the actual cost per page.

Calculate per page cost supply cost:

Black/White pages  = (Cost of black toner divided by number of estimate pages at 5%) + (cost imaging unit divided by  number of estimate pages at 5%) + (Cost of fuser unit divide by number of estimate pages at 5%)

Color Pages = (Cost of black pages) + ((cost of yellow + cyan + magenta pages)  divided by number of estimated pages at 5%)

Most color printer copier fax manufacturer all provide the estimate number of pages a toner cartridge, drum unit, imaging unit and fuser assembly last. Just plug in the number and get your actual supply costs.

Now are you printing at 5%?  One page double spaced is 5% coverage. One standard page single space is 10% coverage. So your actual cost may be higher due to average your usage of your laser printer color.  Use this number to determine your monthly estimated supply costs on different machines. Times that number by 36 months (3 years) and see which model really saves you the most money.

Ask questions. Consider a lease instead of a purchase which may lower your costs even more. Ask about the PrintSolv program too to eliminate all your equipment hassles.
