Choosing a Copier for the Office

When deciding on the right type of machine for your office, there are a few questions to first ask about the use of your copier.  Answering these questions will ensure the purchase of the correct equipment for the application.

What needs does the company have?

Does the company need to print mostly monochrome documents or will color printing be a regular and important job?  One must decide whether the equipment will have the ability to print color documents, and if so, how high quality the color must be.

What other functions must it serve?

Will your copier have to perform scanning and faxing functions?  A multifunction product might be necessary if just copying won’t be enough to sustain the business. 

How much will it be used?

Narrow the choices down by determining the number of copies/prints the business will have in a month.  This will help you determine consumable costs like paper, ink, toner and energy.

How fast does it have to be?

Typically a high volume of printing needs brings with it a need for speedy printing where as a lower volume doesn’t necessitate a high-speed printer.  The speed for a printer is measured in pages per minute so determining the how quickly it must print will help you decide on the best machine for the business.
