21 Mar Is a Color or Black and White Copier Right for Your Office?
Modern copying technology allows you to make duplicates in either color or black and white. If you are ready to purchase or lease a copier for your office, you’ll first need to determine which type of equipment will be best for you. There are several factors to consider when selecting the right copying equipment; taking the time to evaluate your business needs will ensure your copier continues to meet those needs over time.
Assess Your Daily Needs
Your copying equipment should first and foremost meet the needs of your company on a daily basis. If those daily needs mainly include duplicating text-based documents that involve little or no color, a black and white copier is likely the best type of equipment to purchase or lease. However, if you find yourself requiring the use of a color printer or color copying service more than once per week, a color copier may be the better selection. While the initial cost of a color copier is higher, if you frequently require color documentation, the long-term cost of buying or leasing a color copier will be significantly lower than producing color documents on a printer or via a printing service.
Assess Your Current Equipment
Another good way to determine whether a color or black and white copier is better for your needs is to take stock of your office’s current equipment. If you already use several different machines to produce documents, it may be valuable to consider the benefits of a single color copier, which is capable of producing documents both with and without color. Rather than paying to maintain several printers in addition to a copier, adding a color copier to your office could allow you to cut costs by eliminating the need for one or more of your existing printers.
