Blow up your old way of thinking about copiers!

Copiers have been around for years and so has the way we buy copiers. Nothing changes because we get used to our patterns. What are some of the expensive patterns copier buyers in Fort Worth fall into?

Rather than buying based on need, people buy based on what the old budget was. Copier prices have been going down over the last 10 years and people still pay the same prices as they did 10 years ago.
Purchasing a copier in Tabloid format rather than letter/legal when Tabloid isn’t needed.
Buying from the guy who sold them the last copier by default rather than allowing competition.
Rolling the current copier into the new lease for a “free upgrade” 6 months before the end of the current term. (Is anything really free.)
Not itemizing a contract to see if they want to actually pay $1,700 for a stapler (granted, sometimes it is worth it, but sometimes it’s not)
Only considering a new or a used copier. If you plan to keep the copier 4 to 5 years, new is the way to go… For 1,2, or 3 you can make a case for a used copier at times.

Just try and take a step back to buy a copier in a way that makes sense. Taking time to analyze and assess what you are doing will help you greatly whether you purchase a copier in Fort Worth from us or someone else.

Going Green Saves Money

Are you a business in Fort Worth that has been thinking some about environmental sustainability but are afraid that if you go down the path of “Going Green” you will cost your business an arm and a leg? There is good news for you! Going Green does not have to be expensive! In fact it can save money! What are some of the best ways to go green with your copier in Fort Worth without costing an arm and a leg?

Always duplex when possible. This will save you about $.005 per print. If you do 100,000 prints per month, you just saved $500 per month!
Buy brands such as Xerox or Kyocera who emphasize this more than other copier companies (especially the solid ink and the color copiers)
The TaskAlfa copiers and solid ink mfp’s are awesome because they do not emit ozone which is considered a volitile organic compound.
Look at documents before printing. Do you actually need this printed? If not, just read it on the screen.
Set the wake up and sleep intervals on your copiers so it is in the energy saver mode as much as possible. This will save electrical costs.

Any company can take some steps to go green, you just have to decide to do it. If you need help choosing an environmentally friendly copier in Fort Worth, give us a call!

Copiers Breaking the Bank

We talk to a lot of people these days who are concerned about the economy and want to make sure they are prudent before they make a copier purchase in Fort Worth, Texas. We get this, to be sure, as we have to make a lot of our own decisions regarding what contracts to keep going and what to bid out again.

As we talk to purchasing agents about copiers Fort Worth, we generally hear one of the following answers…

We are going to go ahead and keep what we have because we aren’t allowed to spend more
We already have 6 or 7 quotes
We are planning to purchase, but it will likely not be until … (you pick a date here…)

These all make sense in a tougher economy, but you need to be careful to not get so freaked out by the economy that you don’t look at what makes sense for your business. If you are severly overpaying and want to look at the copier, it is good to know a lot of exciting things have happened over the last few years that may mean you’ll only be paying 1/3 to 1/2 of what you normally spend.
