Pricing & Leasing

You’ve probably been here before.

Your phone is broken, and you need to buy a new one. But buying a new phone costs $1000!

You can’t just walk around without a cell phone, so what do you do?

You probably pay a percentage of the phone upfront, say 10% of the total cost, which is $100. Then, you take the phone home to use.

Wait, did you just walk out of the store with a brand-new phone after only paying a tenth of the phone’s price?

Probably not.What you did was sign an agreement where, after making a small down payment, you pay on credit for the phone.

This means that you will pay a set price per month to use the product until you have paid the full price, $1000, plus interest.

Leasing a printer from a vendor works the same way.

Did you know that the average employee prints 34 pages a day? And of those 34 pages, 17% of them go to waste?  

That statistic, courtesy of Offix, is one of the fundamental reasons why you could be overpaying for printing. 

Being that unmanaged printing costs can take up almost 3% of your company’s annual revenue, it is both an area of improvement and an opportunity if you’re looking to save money on your business’s bottom line.  

What is the most important thing to consider when buying a new printer/copier? 

It actually has nothing to do with the look of the machine, the feel of it or how fast it prints. The answer lies in how much it can safely print per month, or its recommended monthly print volume.  

The recommended monthly print volume of a machine is the essential indicator you need to pay close attention to before buying a new office machine. 

But the question becomes: How do you figure out your current, or estimated, monthly print volume so that you can buy a machine that can rightly accommodate it? 

You would be surprised at how much owning a printer/copier could cost you. 

It’s not just for the machine itself, or the supplies that it takes to run efficiently. Buried beneath the surface are obscure, seemingly minuscule, costs that may catch you off guard if you’re not aware of them. 

Being in the printer industry for over 35 years has taught us a lot of things, but maybe the most noteworthy of them all is how much printing costs can accrue on a company’s annual budget. 

​

 Price fluctuation occurs in almost every industry, and printers are no different.  

Whether you buy directly from a printer manufacturer or through a vendor, the price of machines can change at any given time.    

This is especially true under today’s current circumstances, where supply chains are still disrupted, and inflation is readily apparent across most sectors of society.
