This is one of the questions which are always asked in the
minds of people who have printers or copiers that are often ceasing to function
properly. How frequently your copier or
printer asks for a repair, is how often, it is used, and how is it your
handling the use of it? If you handle it
in a respectable, proper manner, the life of the printer or copier gets
prolonged in spite of calling for frequent repairs with negligence in the
handling of it.
If you need the help of a printer repair service provider, once or twice in a blue moon, it’s okay, but
things seem annoying, when you have to call a printer or copier repair
professional even once or twice a month. During the warranty period it is bearable, but
what about after that? Obviously, you
have to bear the charges of his service fees and the parts which get replaced,
that can get very expensive sometimes. This begins to only burn a hole in your pocketbook
and create a lot of down time. Now, you
have to make a wise choice between getting your printer or copier replaced or
repaired.
Here are a few ways to bail you out from this situation,
with some good sound advice. Keep in
mind though, that this advice will only work, if your printer or copier'swarranty period has expired and it keeps asking for frequent and regular on
going repairs.
First, calculate the repair costs you have already paid out,
for making your printer or copier work again in the last six months. If the costs are more than 60-75% percent of
the cost of the printer (when you bought it), you should seriously think about
getting it replaced with a new one. In
this case, you will definitely need to consider recycling your printer or
copier. If you still want to stay with
your old printer or copier, then it is for sure you will end up paying more, at
the end of the year, than what a new printer or copier would have probably cost
you. If you think, you can't afford to
purchase a new printer or copier; then you always have the option of getting it
financed.
This way, you will not only
get a new printer or copier with a warranty period, but will also get rid of
all the stress which your old printer or copier gave you. Secondly; if that option doesn’t work for you,
then you can go a less expensive route and get a refurbished copier that can
sometimes even save you thousands and also can come with a warranty. You can then take the EMIs as monthly costs of
getting your old printer or copier repaired, but at the same cost you can
expect reliability, efficiency and you will have a much more dependable product
that will probably never let you down.
This way, you can easily judge for yourself if getting your
old printer or copier repaired is worth the cost or should you just replace it
with a new one to make you feel much more relieved and tension free.
