Page coverage, which is the amount of toner or ink on a page, is one of the most important things you can learn about your printer/copier.  

It is a huge determinator of how much you will spend on printer cartridges throughout the lifespan of your machine.  

But, in all honesty, it’s a confusing concept for most to understand. However, the importance of page coverage cannot be overstated. 

That’s why we want to use our expertise to tackle the topic of page coverage in a simple and easily digestible way. 

Because after almost 40 years in the printer/copier industry, we’ve accrued the knowledge to break down what page coverage is and why it plays such a central role in your printing costs. 

Thinking about buying a machine for your home office or small business? 

The Xerox B305, which we will review today, could be an option for you—but it certainly won’t be for everybody. 

As a Xerox Platinum Status Partner, we have become experts in their product catalog, and subsequently, who would and wouldn’t be a fit for a particular machine.  

That’s what we will lean on in crafting this review blog. In order to make the right printer purchase, you need to have access to honest and accurate information.   

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? 

So, you’re in the market for a new basic printer, which beckons the question: “Does it really matter which one I get?” 

When you’re talking about a simple, print-only machine, you’re not going to be paying much money for it. 

For example, the Xerox B230, which we will be reviewing today, starts at around $210. For most people, that will not be a heavy cost to endure. 

So, if cost is not a significant factor, then what is? Why should you care what brand of machine you get when the cost is more or less the same? 

For most people, making any kind of major purchase is a stressful process. 

Buying your next printer/copier is no different; advanced printers can run into the thousands of dollars, which means getting the right machine the first time is imperative.  

Unfortunately, it can be tough to find access to accurate and unbiased information to make an informed purchase. We aim to change that. 

As a vendor that has sold office machines for almost 40 years, we’ve seen how crucial it is for buyers to be informed before deciding which printer is best for their workplace.
