Buying a printer? What is the real cost?

what is the true cost of a printer?

Finding the right printer for your business needs is crucial.

Printing can play an important role in promoting your company. Whether it’s in form of leaflets, business cards or client’s documents, it all becomes part of your company’s public face.

What seems like a good deal at the time may cost your business a lot more in the future. Statistics show that buying a cheaper printer with higher ink prices can cost thousands (if used regularly over a three-year period).

When looking at the cost of a printer for business use there are many considerations not just the initial price of the printer its self.  To get the best money saving solutions you are required to think long term about your usage and running costs.

Cost per page

As well as your current business demands it is worth investigating the cost per page of any printer you consider purchasing. There are many different types of printers including laser and ink jet. The most effective device for your business depends a lot on your company’s requirements. We can save you time and hassle and deal with all these details for you.
