Greg Brown breaks down the best ways to handle business copy machines

Guide to Buying or Leasing Business Copiers

A copy machine is a must. But buy or lease? New or used copiers?


 
 

Quick Scan on Copiers

  • Get a copy machine that can be added to your computer network
  • Most business lease rather than buy copy machines
  • Sign an all-in-one copier hardware and service contract
 
 
Paperless office of the future? Ha! Truth is, we use paper more than ever, thanks to the proliferation of desktop computers at work. And generating documents almost guarantees a demand for stacks of fresh copies. The copy machine will be an office fixture for a while yet.

But buying a business photocopier can be confusing. Will you need color? How much volume? Printing, faxing, scanning? Do you need new copiers or will used copiers or refurbished copiers do? These are all important questions that will tip your price point up or down by hundreds of dollars. It will determine, too, how much maintenance your small office copy machines could require. Take the common-sense route toward making your office photocopier as productive yet cost-effective as possible.

Action Steps to Meet Your Copy Machine Needs

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Copiers Action Step Watch out for truly home-office copiers The office supply superstores are full of desktop printer/fax/copiers that seem to be a good deal. But they are, for the most part, designed for occasional, non-professional use. Prepare to buy a copy machine — and to spend several thousand dollars.

I recommend:  A good initial exercise is to sort through comparison shopping sites photocopier listings. Check NexTag, Shopping.com and Epinions for a quick-and-dirty copy-machine budget check. Another site, BuyerZone, offers quotes from local copy machine dealers.

Copiers Action Step Brush up on leasing lingo for copiers You will learn quickly that most businesses lease copy machines rather than buy, to protect themselves from upfront costs and changing technology.

I recommend:  CopierGeeks takes copiers way too seriously.

Copiers Action Step Stand alone copiers or networked? It's a rare small office that can afford to buy two big pieces of capital equipment when one will do. If you office computer system is networked, then a copy machine-printer combo that is part of your PC network is your best bet. You can print to the same machine that copies. A copier that doesn't print is called a stand-alone. Cheaper, but less useful.

I recommend:  Xerox, HP, Lanier, Ricoh and Canon are among the better-known sellers of so-called heavy-duty multi-function (MFP) printers.

Copiers Action Step Consider bundling your costs on copy machines The latest trend in small business is to capture some of the return big companies get by outsourcing tech. In the copier world, that means signing one deal for everything: hardware, installation, maintenance and supplies, like ink and toner for copy machines, then paying one flat monthly rate

I recommend:  HP offers this kind of way to buy, calling it Smart Print services.

Copiers Action Step Check out the deals on used copiers and refurbished copiers Dealers offer deep discounts and warranties on name-brand copy machines.

I recommend:  See the dealer directories on Business.com for used copiers and refurbished copiers

Copiers Action Step Use copy machines lot at once, then a little for a month? Copiers – real copiers – cost as much as new cars. If that's out of range, and your business tends to make batches of copies, like restaurant menus, brochures, flyers or stacks of sales presentations, consider buying a cheaper home office printer (practically free if you bundle with a new PC!) and instead use print shops for high-volume photocopier work.

I recommend:  FedEx Kinko's and the UPS Store both offer this virtual copy-machine service, FedEx going so far as to allow you to print straight from your PC to their photocopier systems.

Tips & Tactics to Get Office Copiers Right

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • A needs analysis is vital. You won't be able to intelligently buy copiers if you have no idea how much you use copiers now, nor might in the near future. Do you collate, staple, and print front-and-back?
  • Technology changes fast, but there's no need to spend on features you absolutely will not use. For instance, if color copies don't figure into your business, buy black and white. Color ink is expensive, and color copiers can be more temperamental.
  • Price ink cartridges before you sign off, as well as any maintenance contract fees. Those two items alone can turn your great deal on copy machines into a stinker.

Features
Your choices include: color, duplex, sort/staple, printer, scan, fax and lease options
  • Color adds to copier cost and you'll pay even more for higher grade color and faster speeds. Save on toner with a hybrid copy machine that switches between color and black and white.
  • Duplex uses both sides of the page, a big paper saver. With "stackless duplexing" the copier's memory captures each side and prints both in one pass instead of two.
  • Sorting, stapling, hole-punching and folding are done by the "finisher" and may have to be ordered separately.
  • A multifunction copier can work as a scanner, fax, or printer if you add the right modules, including adequate memory. Print quality is comparable to a laser printer but per page cost is cheaper.
  • You'll see speeds for copy machines clocked in copies per minute or cpm. For general office use, 20-50 cpm is fine. Color copying, duplex copying and sorting slow copiers down considerably. Also, compare times for machine warm-up and first copy out on a print job.
Max Speed
Your choices include: up to 20 cpm, 20-30 cpm, 31-50 cpm or 50+ cpm
  • You'll see speeds for copy machines clocked in copies per minute or cpm. For general office use, 20-50 cpm is fine. Color copying, duplex copying and sorting slow copiers down considerably. Also, compare times for machine warm-up and first copy out on a print job.
Usage
You'll find systems designed for small business, mid-sized business and enterprise business
  • For light usage -- under 700 copies per month -- you're in the home office or personal copier range. The smallest crawl at just 4 copies per minute (cpm), but the higher side push 15 to 20 copies a minute and can double as printers.
  • Medium usage copiers -- 10,000 copies per month and up -- start the true business copy machines. Expect speeds of 20-50 cpm, automatic document feed and multiple feeder.
  • Heavy usage copy machines are the workhorses at large companies or copy shops, zipping along at 100 cpm and better than half a million copies a month.
Condition
You'll find systems designed for small business, mid-sized business and enterprise business
  • New copy machines are pricey but rarely sold at list; your dealer will negotiate based on machine features and service contract terms.
  • Refurbished copiers can be great deals but make sure the vendor replaces parts and rebuilds assemblies and offers a warranty.
  • Play it safe when shopping for used copiers -- buy from a dealer or manufacturer, get a good service plan, get a warranty and don't buy on an "as-is" basis.
Brand
Your choices include: Canon, Sharp, Brother, Konica-Minolta, Ricoh, Samsung and Xerox
  • If you've seen reviews or advertisements for specific copiers, or perhaps witnessed a copier brand in action, check the Business.com copier lineup by "Brand", sorted alphabetically.
