Document scanners and office equipment

A printer is chosen once but paid for over all the years it is used. Over three years the difference between two outwardly similar models reaches several times their price, and all of it is hidden in the cost of consumables.

What the work includes

The model is chosen by monthly volume with headroom: equipment running at the edge of its rated capacity wears out three times faster.

Discuss the scope

Printing

Devices sized to your volume with the functions you need: duplex printing, a tray for different formats, networking.

Scanning

Sheet-fed models with an automatic feeder for converting paper archives and daily post into electronic form.

Network access

Printing from any workstation and from a phone, and by employee code where required.

Consumables

Originals and compatibles, plus drums, rollers and everything that wears out along with the cartridge.

Preventive service

Cleaning and replacing worn parts by page count rather than after a breakdown.

Decommissioning

Writing equipment off and disposing of cartridges properly.

How it goes

Delivery takes a few days; after that the equipment is looked after under a service contract.

01

Volumes

We count how many pages go out a month, whether colour is needed and which formats.

02

Costing

We compare models by three-year cost of ownership, not by the price on the shelf.

03

Installation

We connect it to the network, install drivers and configure access.

04

Running

We deliver consumables on a schedule, clean the devices and repair them on request.

A device running at the limit of its rated load fails predictably. If a model is designed for five thousand pages a month and fifteen thousand are printed on it, repairs become monthly. It is cheaper to take a device with spare capacity from the start than to pay for downtime and technician visits.

Questions and answers

Rental with a per-page charge suits large and changing volumes: there is no need to keep an eye on consumables and repairs. Buying works out better with steady, modest printing. Count over three years; over a shorter period the difference usually does not show.

The most effective measures are double-sided printing by default and release by employee code, where a document prints only once someone walks up to the device. Half the pages forgotten in the tray simply stop being printed.

If you are digitising archives or entering stacks of documents daily, yes: a sheet-fed model does it several times faster than a multifunction device. For ten pages a day the built-in scanner is enough.

We will cost printing over three years

Write how many people you have and how much you print a month. We will compare the options by total cost of ownership.
