IS YOUR COPIER READY FOR WINDOWS 8?
Why would a copier company be talking about the launch of Windows 8 from Microsoft expected by the end of 2012? Because it will impact the copier's ability to print and scan. When Windows 7 came out it obsoleted half of our inventory. Some copier manufacturers didn't bother to make new print and scan drivers for the older copiers. In other words; many XP installations could not go online and find a scan driver for their copier once they upgraded to Windows 7. What does this mean to you? If you are going to be in the market for a copier this year you better try to get something new or near new which will cost a little more than the older cheaper copiers which may not be able to scan when windows 8 launches at the end of the year. We are committed to selling and leasing new copiers (MFPs) near the price of used copiers so you can be assured of print and scan drivers when you eventually upgrade your PCs to Windows 8. A copier will typically outlive a PC so you … [Read more...]

IS IT TIME TO CONSIDER PRINT MANAGEMENT
The answer is becoming yes for more and more companies. What is driving this is the steady erosion of prices for printer service and supplies. Once upon a time a Print Management Program was only practical for large companies with many printers. It was easy to show a cost savings because they often had a fleet of suppliers with different prices and you could simply quote $.05 per print and show the savings. Well now quotes in the $.015 area are becoming more common which means you don't have to own a bunch of printers to get the cost savings. The best way to see if this makes sense for you is to call a copier rep since it's copier companies pushing Print Management. That's because the copier business is flat and people buy about 6 printers for each copier. So they took cost per copy maintenance agreements for copiers and adapted it to printers For those new to Print Management here are the main benefits. All printer service and supplies are quoted on a per print … [Read more...]
