How many color copiers are you looking to purchase or lease?


Would you like to use your color copier for black and white as well as color copies?

Color Copier Basics

A color copier is a digital machine that combines the benefits of a laser printer and scanner in a single unit. You can choose color copiers that feature different capacities and a variety of functions, with the better quality color copiers typically yielding faster copying speeds.

“Hybrid” machines that can print in color when needed but generally just product black and white copies are becoming increasingly common – but, if you need very high quality color output or rely on color copies most of the time, you’re probably better off selecting a dedicated color copy machine (perhaps to go along with another machine that handles any black and white copying needs).

A reputable copier vendor can help you find the copier that best fits your budget, but you should plan on spending at least $1,500 for a decent color machines that will stand up to use in an office environment. When budgeting for a color copier, make sure to factor in consumables, which will need to be replaced periodically. The major consumables color copiers require are paper, toner, developer, and fuser oil.

When spending with potential dealers for your new color copier, note what you will need your machine to do, what your standard volume will be, and how quickly you need to install the copier in your office. In addition to the features and functions available, it’s important to think through the trade-offs and benefits involved with purchasing the machines versus leasing it – any dealer should be able to offer you either depending on what best meets your financing needs.

Points to consider:

  • How many color copiers do you need?
  • What type of copying volume do you anticipate each month?
  • Are you interested in leasing your copier(s) as opposed to purchasing?
  • How fast do you need your new copier to produce copies (price typically increases with speed)?
  • Will you need your copier to produce just color documents or also black and white copies?
  • What is your approximate budget for each color copier?
  • Are looking for a multifunction machine (printing, scanning, faxing, etc) or just a copier?
  • Would you like a service contract with the copy machine?
