What Are The Advantages of Office Copier Leasing—or is Cash King?

Here at AIS, current and potential clients ask us lots of questions about our selection of copiers. One of the most frequent (and important) questions we receive is, “should I purchase or lease a copier? Which is going to be best for my business?”

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 copier prints. The copier copies.  For most users, that's all their copier is used for (with maybe the occasional fax or scan).  If that's all you're using your copier for, you're wasting the potential of the copier to make your life easier. Copiers today include more functionality than ever before. As software becomes more embedded in copiers (and even larger laser printers), functionality will continue to explode. Today, if you aren't using the apps available in your digital copiers, you're missing out on more productivity and saving money for your business. The following six apps are available on Kyocera Copiers. While some of these apps are Kyocera-specific, similar functionality exists for copiers from other manufacturers.
