Choosing a Copier: Key Considerations for Any Company

A woman and man talking in a business office.

Office copiers still play an amazingly key role in office operations and output. If you think you could do without a copier, just look at the line of people (and drop in productivity!) when the copier or printer is down. It's an essential piece of equipment!

Just like most office machines, eventually, it's time to upgrade your copier or printer. Technology changes, security advances, and your office needs may shift as well. Luckily, today's machines are ready to meet your needs and even exceed them.

So - what do you look for first when purchasing a new office copier or printer? Read on.

Top Issues

How much does speed and meeting your needs for volume matter? It matters more than anything! Imagine completing jobs quickly that used to take all day on the machine. Imagine waiting for a few minutes for a project to complete instead of leaving and coming back to collect the pieces after it's done. Think about having the right output, supplies, and paper sources to complete your projects on time.

Additional Considerations for Speed and Volume

Speed and volume are your top considerations when upgrading your machine because getting machines with high output - we're talking as high as 50-75 pages per minute - is essential in actually upgrading your whole business.

Volume also matters a lot, especially over time. While your print or copy volume may change daily or weekly, you will want to evaluate your monthly print volume over time. If that sounds a bit confusing, no worries - your trusted vendor can help.

Security and Support

Getting the right office equipment is your first step, but you also want a reliable vendor to partner with for the security and support that you need. Work with American Business Centerr, and you'll be happy you have experts on your side.
