When deciding to buy a photocopier for your office , you will be confronted with a large range of different models and makes to choose from. And if this is the first time that you are buying a photocopier do you know which requirements you are looking and what makes a photocopier a good make? In this article I will give you a brief overview of photocopiers and some terms, which will help you make a better, more informed choice before purchase your photocopier. Quality and Speed: The two most important features of a good photocopier is its speed, and the quality of the printed material it produces. We will briefly go over these two aspects. Quality Firstly we will look at quality. The quality of the copier is evident in the printed copy and if your office requires good clear photocopies with fine print details then it is very important that quality be on the top of your list. Photocopies that do not have a good (I.Q) image quality could have one or more of these problems such as; banding- when there are light or darks bands are running over the image, streaks-usually caused by an oil based printer, and creases. Speed Speed refers to the rate at which a photocopier can produce photocopies over a given period of time. If your business relies on producing large numbers of copies fast, then the speed at which a photocopier can produce a copy is a very important feature that should be looked into. For light duty copy purposes a desk top photocopier can produce up to 10 copies a minute, while for heavier duty photocopy needs it is best to invest in a Copy Centre which although costs more will be able to give you around 22 copies per minute. Desktop versus Copy Centres: Consider the other machines needed for your business before deciding to buy a photocopier, as Copy Centres have multi functionality. If you are looking to buy other office equipment such as a fax or a scanner then why not look into buying a Copy Centre as they perform all the functions of printing, faxing, scanning and much more, which will save you space and money. If however your business requires you to do a few photocopies a day then a desktop version will be better suited to your office, at less of a cost. Analog versus Digital: Choosing between an Analog or Digital type photocopier is another aspect to consider. Analog photocopiers have been on the market longer, they are reliable are great value for money and are perfect for light duty photocopying. Digital photocopiers are better in functionality, give better prints and reduce the price per print ratio, they are however the more costlier version. Remember to only buy a colour copier if it is necessary for your business as they can increase your price per photocopy greatly. Before going shopping for your photocopier, be sure to decide what it is that you need and ask the sales assistance to help you make the best decision for your business.
