Trying to figure out “how much a copier costs” can drive you crazy. You can go to all of the manufacturer sites and scroll through all of their products: some have prices; some don't. You can search eBay. If you're looking for a small, simple MFP; you can find small inkjet ones for under $200. Finding out how much a copier costs for your business though? That's hard. I'll use Kyocera copiers as an example and give you an idea of pricing and functionality you can expect based on a range of budgets. As you review, keep in mind that you don't have to buy a copier outright. Leasing is an attractive option that replaces a large, up-front capital expense with an easy to manage monthly payment.

When you’re looking for a new copier or multi-function printer in Las Vegas, you want to make sure to choose the best company. Whether you are going to purchase a copier or lease it, it’s like buying a new car—you’re going to be using this machine for years, and you want to make sure it’s going to last. Do you need a new copier or printer due to increase in business growth? Do you need more functionality like stapling, folding, etc.? Is the company that’s servicing your copier not responding fast enough to meet your expectations? Or is the existing machine on its last leg and ready to be put out to pasture? These questions are what brought you to this decision, but now you need to decide where you’re going to purchase a new copier or printer from.  If you want to get the lowest price, you’re going to need to know who the players are and ask for multiple companies to bid for your business.

The services provided by IT managed services providers often look similar. On the surface, all cloud data backup plans look about the same – and the technology often is a bunch of servers in a very well air-conditioned room somewhere (not very exciting). Unless your job is phone support, business phones all look the same other than color. Network monitoring and IT support offices all look roughly the same – a bunch of folks in a room staring at monitors and/or talking to customers on the phone. This surface sameness can lull you into thinking that any IT managed services partner will do. Don't fall into that trap.
