Copier printer scanner MFD office equipment is getting more
complicated and the choices are increasing.
The merging of the traditional printer and copier machines has presented
companies with hard decisions. What is
the best manufacturer for the money?
Lowest cost? Best options and
functionality? Most durable? Canon, Toshiba,
Minolta, Ricoh, Gestetner, Xerox, HP, Sharp, Lanier, Copystar, Lexmark, Brother?
Now compound the many brands with companies that only
specialize in one or two brands and it's clear to see why companies have
problems with selecting the right equipment or getting in the wrong lease. If you get your equipment from a company
which specializes in one brand take care.
Why? Because you will receive a
bias view.
If a vendor only represents Canon or Sharp how will you know
if you should get a Gestetner, HP or Ricoh may be better. So what should you do?
Do some basic research online using the buyer's lab
reports. Look for awards and low failure
rates. If the model is brand new; wait a
few months so the manufacturer has time to get the bugs out. Do not assume that a BIG NAME means the best
choice. Did you know the Lanier /
Gestetner/ Ricoh / Savin are the same company? Mita / CopyStar / Kyocera
too! Did you know HP laser printers are
actually Canon based?
It's a challenge to make an educated selection. Be careful.
Ask questions. Get
referrals. Check the service record of
the company you choose.
When is your equipment lease up? Does it offer a lump sum or $1.00 buy-out
clause at the end of the lease? What is
the current value of the equipment? What
is the estimated life of the copier/printer? Most of these questions are simple
to determine with a few keystrokes on the internet.
Get all the answers before you commit. Ask questions. Look at the terms. Know you page counts and be very careful not
to fall for low ball tactics of some copier printer leasing companies.
