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?

Simple: Factory dealer select used recent model laser printers and copiers at less than half their original costs.  Instead of spending $400 on a high per page cost low end laser printer or digital copier end machine get a quality refurbished laser printer or copier mid-range end that still has many, many years of life?

Buying Verses Copier Printer Leasing Programs: Some Thoughts and Ideas

One of the major problems with businesses today is cash flow. Companies need copier printer scanners faxes and other office equipment to maintain competitive. However, the poor economy has made replacing old outdated printers and digital copiers on hold for many small businesses. Did you know cash flow is the number one cause of business failures in the United States?  How does a business stay competitive by obtaining new copier printers, MFD copiers and other business equipment? Does you company purchase printers or lease them. Are you stuck with old outdated slow poor quality copiers or laser printers? Leasing new or very recent dealer select used copier scanner printer models may be an option for you.

Why Lease Instead Of Laying Out the hard Cash?

I’m glad you asked

7 reasons to consider leasing copier printers instead of buying:

Reason 1: It keeps your cash free to help your business grow instead of tying it up in expensive equipment. Your business needs cash to survive.  Every time you tie it up to purchased instead of leasing copiers or printers, you limit your cash available for marketing, inventory and other useful purposes. Why constrain your company’s growth with old printers copiers and scanners?

Reason 2:Your company gets to write off complete monthly lease of the copiers printer scanner equipment.  The write off of  the copier printer scanner lease helps year end tax relief too.  The US government classifies most office equipment including digital MFD copier printer as five year or longer equipment.  This means you have to depreciate (expense) the cost in over a long period if you own the equipment.  Leasing laser printers and copier MFD office equipment gives you the ability to write it 100% at the time of the expense.  This lowers the taxes and simplifies your accounting!

Reason 3: Concerns of equipment obsolescence is no longer a factor.  Technology moves so fast that computer, copier, printer and fax machine companies are introducing new equipment and discontinuing others daily.

Hewlett Packard introduce new laser printers at least once every 6 months.  You no longer have the luxury to think that the equipment you buy today will do the things you want it to do in 3 years from now. Stand alone digital copiers are the way of the past. Now it’s a MDF copier printer scanner fax and more.

Reason 4: Steady payment with no surprises and payment interest rates never change even if interest rates go up!  This stretches the costs of your digital copier printers and scanner MDF.

Reason 5: Through a lease get the printer or copier equipment you NEED now to stay competitive or lower costs instead of just equipment you can afford due to cash on hand and budget concerns. How many times have you purchased a laser printer or copier based on price instead of what you need to grow your business?  Does cash on hand limit your purchasing abilities?  Would a faster printer or computer get you more business or reduce your direct overhead costs (labor, outside printing, etc.)? Leasing diital copiers or printers gives you what you need now to stay competitive.

Reason 6: Low buyout option at the end of the lease of your printer copier or all in one printer (usually just 10% of the cost of the equipment or $1depending upon the program).  You have a choice to buy the equipment, upgrade to newer models, quit or continue the same lease at reduced rates. It’s your decision.

Reason 7: Yes, you can even bundle equipment together: software, installation, training, supplies, freight and more. Plus, copier printer scanner leases usually includes complete repair, maintenance and supplies as part of hte lease program at no additional cost.

Leasing office equipment  provide a hedge against inflation.  Instead of using today’s dollars, spread the cost out with tomorrow’s cheaper dollars.

Colliding Machines: Copier verses Printer Verses MFD – Which one do you choose? (and save a bunch of money and hassles)

by Michael Klein Advanced Business Computers, Inc.

The major players in the copier business are attacking your printers. The copier leasing companies are trying to get you hooked into longer term contracts and many times it causes headaches and more expense!

Has your copier company approached you to take over your printers? Copier companies hole angle is to get you hooked into a 3 or 5 year printer copier agreement and then keep you going for even more years!  And then half-way through the copier leasing companies attached you again and get you for another 5 years in a never ending cycle.

Now they are attacking your printers and desktop MFD’s. Which way is better? It depends upon your work area. The copier maintenance cost per page use to be lower with the centralized copier printer machines. However, the wasted staff time usually counter any savings from central MDF copier printer.  It takes time to leave your desk, take to you co workers, sort through the jobs at the all in one printer copier scanner and then finally go back to your desk. It is estimated that each job produced on a central copier printer scanner costs $1.76 in labor hours. So you cost per page just skyrocketed. Printers cost per page were traditionally higher.

The printer and copier based multi-function devices,  if you get the correct one to fit your business, ha an average life span of 7 years. So what is the true cost difference? Very little! Which one should you choose? If there are areas very close to each other (a couple of steps) of high printing volume then a centralized copier printer MFD would work.

However, if your staff needs to get up, walk to the centralized copier printer fax scanner machine, visit other staff members on the way and have a coffee break then the centralized so called copier printer lease cost saving device will cost you a bunch more in staff productivity. In addition, most companies own their own printers. Whereas, in most cases copiers are leased. Leases are great when you do not have the capital to spend on equipment. However, if you already have good printers why replace them.

The best way to determine the best mix is through an audit process. The audit will determine your true copier lease paper usage (how many pages per device), true service cost and actual per page cost. Be careful of per page programs if you do not know your printing volume.   Low per page cost sounds great, however, the minimum monthly requirement of lease sometimes double and even triple your cost per page.
