Today’s copiers are more that copiers. They are printers, fax machines, and scanners. They are multi-function devices. If your ready to consider copier leasing, there are many factors to consider in order to get the right machine for your growing office demands. Consider some factors that are true in Tyler Tx or New York NY.
1. Printing Demands
What variety of materials will you need to run through the copier and how many per month. Will you be running simply plain paper or have need to run heavier stock? Will you need a printer to handle 10,000 pages per month or 5,000 pages? Whatever the workload, make sure that your chosen printer has a duty cycle that far exceeds that capacity of your print demands. A duty cycle is a maximum rating. It is a rating that suggests what a machine might handle at peak intervals, not a steady diet.
2. Speed Isn’t Everything
A fast machine may seem like a better option, but the speed is often gained at the expense of quality. If you need a machine that can take larger paper sizes and provide you with quality printing options, a faster printer may not be the right selection. Consider the quality, not just the quantity when deciding on copier leasing.
3. Color or Black and White
If you need to match colors or run heavier stock, a machine designed for light production may be the best choice. Machines in the category of light production are designed for print shops, special papers, higher volumes and offer quality finishing options.
4. Terms of Lease Agreement
In deciding the length of a lease, consider where your printer copier will be housed. If the copier’s home will be dusty, a shorter term lease may be preferable. After 3 or 4 years, service expenses may increase. In a more controlled environment a 5 year lease may be more reasonable.
In Tyler Tx, or any other city, the factors remain the same. Consider demand, speed, color and terms before deciding on a copier lease.
