Finding a Great Copier Deal in Tarrant County!
Are you a company in Tarrant County that needs a new copier, or maybe a used copier would suit you fine. How do you decide what is the best way to get this new copier or used copier in Tarrant County? The first thing that you should consider is the concept of TCO. TCO is total cost of ownership. It is crucial in copier purchases because copiers in Tarrant County have so many details that if the TCO is not measured, you will never get the best deal on a copier in Tarrant County.
So, how do you determine the TCO of a copier in Tarrant County?
- Maintenance — See how much the maintenance of the copier costs. Usually this will be for BOTH the maintenance and supplies, but not always. Add this number for the length of the lease.
- Supplies – If not in the cost per print mode, then you need to see how much supplies will cost over the term of the copier lease in Tarrant County.
- Equipment – Don’t seperate the equipment from the supplies and maintenance. All three are crucial to get an accurate TCO of your copier in Tarrant County.

Make Your Color Copier work for you...not the other way around!
Here in Fort Worth, color copiers can be expensive! If you’re a Fort Worth business owner or office manager you KNOW how much color copiers can ding your bottom line. A lot of this is related to coverage, which most people here in Fort Worth and around the US (sometimes even those in the color copier industry!) don’t understand. When you’re looking at the copier spec sheets, the cost per print is only really that price if you’re printing a certain amount of color on the page (see an earlier article).
I was working with an out-of-state real estate company this summer that was spending over a dollar on their color prints. They were charging their employees $.30, so every print was costing them $.70!! So, if you’re simply writing a check to you Fort Worth color copier leasing company without doing a breakdown of the costs, you’re probably spending much more per copy than you think. Most copier reps will try to sell you something that makes the most money–which makes sense because we’re paid on profit! However, as a consumer, if you’re educated, you’ll make sure that you spend the right amount on your next Fort Worth color copier. Check out our copier comparison tool; it’s an easy way to educate yourself on color copier costs without being subject to a high-pressure sales pitch! We have a lot of options for reducing your color prints (no matter the coverage!), and we’d love to give you a quote or provide a soloution for your color printing needs. Talk to you soon!
Is it Hard to get a Hold of Your Copier Rep?

Can you Get a Hold of Your rep
You signed your contract last month, everything with the copier worked well for the first few weeks, and now you have a few technical questions… the copier rep in Fort Worth that had called every day for a month is now taking 3 or 4 days to get back with you. What can you do? The unfortunate thing is there is not a whole lot you can do. This is why it’s so important to deal with a rep who you can trust. A rep in Fort Worth that will not just deal with the good times, but also with the bad times. How can you find such a rep?
One thing you can do is to inquire of your friends and find out if any of them have an experience with a rep that has consistently been on their side. One that has gone to bat for them on billing issues, one that has helped provide loaner equipment when they were down. One that is not always trying to charge them for every 5 minutes after the contract was signed in Fort Worth but promised everything for free before the contract was signed.
A good and honest copier rep is hard to find. If you have one, we would love to work with you but understand if you want to stay with them. We enjoy this relationship with our customers. If you have struggled getting fair pricing or callbacks from your current company until the lease was about us, wouldn’t it be wise to give another company a chance to bid and make your life easier as far as copiers in Fort Worth are concerned for the next 4 to 5 years?
Take Care of Your Fort Worth Copier Needs…Responsibly

If you're in charge of your Fort Worth copier management, are you being responsible?
Being in the Fort Worth copier business is an adventure every day. I generally divide groups of people I market copiers to into three basic categories:
1. Those who “Get It.”
2. Those who “Don’t Get It.”
3. Those who “Are Skeptical.”
Those who “get it” are by far the easiest to market to. They’re the market I make copier sales to. They are normally decisive, interested in the bottom line, and care about being responsible with their (if they’re an owner) or their company’s resources. They actually study the spreadsheets I make and look at the copier comparison feature of this site. They’re informed and responsible.
Those who “don’t get it” are BEYOND frustrating…they are generally so stuck in their old ways (“we need a huge copier with all the bells and whistles…even though we don’t use them”) that they end up squandering their company’s resources (people in this group are very rarely company owners!).
Those who “are skeptical.” This group is actually fairly easy to market to because after looking at hard cost comparisons, they will normally take several days to do the research. Three days later, I’ll get a surprise call with a copier order!
Take a close look at which group you are in. If you’re not open to looking at different types of Fort Worth copier technology, maybe you’re in group two. If so, there is a very good chance you’re not managing the office finances that have been entrusted to you. Do your copier research before buying or signing a copier lease in Fort Worth…make sure you’re being responsible with your resources!
