Thanksgiving for this Copier Technology

Thanksgiving for this Copier Technology

The Office Copier.  A device we all take for granted.  Yet, this piece of equipment has helped to shape minds and hearts across this great land.  Churches and Schools have used copiers to get their message out to the people in mass.  If there is a lesson, we can make it avaialble to hundreds or even thousands of people and then let them take home the notes.  Really, copiers are pretty darn amazing pieces of equipment.

Now, there are some things that are way more amazing than copier technology.  One thing I am particularily grateful for is the fact that God has forgiven me for my rotten attitudes and ways I have mistreated people.  Maybe you have divergent religious beliefs…  If you do, I just ask that you also seek to give the god you serve thanks during this holiday because we are a really blessed people!

When you have to come back from the potlucks and all the family stuff which is super important, we hope you’ll consider us for your copier needs in Colorado Springs!

It May be Snowing, but Don't Get Snowed

It May be Snowing, but Don't Get Snowed

Snow is falling in the area and it is a fun time of year.  The Holidays are right around the corner and people are trying not to spend as much time at work.  This post is to help make sure that your lack of time does not wind up killing your bottom line as you are unable to really look over all the revenue coming in and the costs going out.  So, what can you do about your printer and copier fleet?

  1. Check your bills to make sure the billed amount and the printed amount match.  We have seen a lot of companies cut staff so that this is now overlooked.
  2. Check and make sure you have their best pricing at all times.  Feel free to ask the hard questions!  Make sure they are always being competitive with printers and copiers in Colorado Springs
  3. Look for other value.  Can they provide software to maximize efficiencies?  Can they take more work on without an additional cost.

Copiers are not sexy, but they cost a lot of money!

The Scary Thing About Copiers in Colorado Springs…

Protect Yourself From Dishonesty...

Protect Yourself From Dishonesty...

What’s your company’s data worth?  Your customer list?  Your customer’s private information?  Do you ever wonder how much it would cost if a competitor or someone who is not magnanimous got a hold of all of your company’s important data?  Did you know that your copier, yes the copier sitting in there right now might have that very risk attached to it?

What do I mean?  Say you are an accountant in Colorado Springs and you make copies of all of your clients info, which includes their SSN among other things.  If you have a fast copier with a hard drive, did you know there may be images of all the copies you made on that copier just sitting there on the hard drive.  Is this a problem for you?

What kind of data is on your copier’s hard drive?  Did you purchase a data security kit or enable the disk wiping feature?  These are questions you need to ask and things you need to know about your copier in Colorado Springs!

Don’t Forget Installation Services with Your Copier Purchase

How Do I Scan? How Do I ... ??

How Do I Scan? How Do I ... ??

You spend a lot of money on your copier in Colorado Springs.  Why spend all that money and then feel frustrated with the fact you don’t know how to use all of the features?  It is becoming more common for us that customers are trying to get away from some of the “optional” services, trying to keep their expenses as low as possible.  Installation services is not one of the things you should scrimp on.  A 40 page per minute copier used well will be better than a 50 page per minute copier used poorly.

Installation services matter with your copier.  If you need a copier quote in Colorado Springs, please give us a call!

Juggling Paper and Expectations in Colorado Springs

Is this You?

Is this You?

There are many companies with rows and rows and rows and rows of filing cabinets.  They are always paper filing everything.  Is your company in Colorado Springs this way?  Do you lose files?  Misplace files?  All of these are dangers when dealing with hard copies of documents.

Almost all new copiers come with scanning these days, so there is really no excuse to lose documents.  Its a simple matter of properly tagging the file and making sure it follows the destination rules.

Most people that have 20 filing cabinets could pretty easily cut this number down to 2 or 3.  Why don’t they?  Change in process can be hard.  This is why you should give us a call so we can show you how scan to network could work for in Colorado Springs!

Where’s There’s Mystery, There’s Margin…

What are you paying per print?

What are you paying per print?

There’s a phrase in the business world, “Where there’s mystery, there’s margin,” which happens to be extremely true in regards to color copier or plain copier purchases in Colorado Springs.  What’s the point of this saying?  Basically, the more you can “hide” or “wrap” together, so that people don’t know all the details, the more margin (margin as in profit margin) you can derive from that client.  So, I give you the following scenario

Copier — $269 per month for 60 months with 5,000 included pages…  

 —  or  —-

Copier  — $3,899

Extra tray — $600

Fax Option– $600

Supplies + Maintenance is at $.02 per print for 5,000 prints ($100 per month)

Which is a better deal?  You probably don’t know unless you figure out the second one…  (Which by the way works out to be around $225.00 per month)…  Now, what if you don’t really even need fax, or extra trays?  Those numbers can be removed from the equation.  When the mystery is gone, the margin goes with it.  You can see how this $269 a month sale can easily get down to $179 or so for the same term if you don’t need all the options.  This is precisely why you should get all the options itemized so you can make sure you are getting a fair price on everything as well as getting what you need and not just what pads the sales reps pockets.

Don’t Miss the Bus With Your Copier Lease Return!

Missing the Bus is Expensive!

Missing the Bus is Expensive!

Today I come as the bearer of bad news. I am here to remind you to do something that your copier rep in Colorado Springs never seems to want to remind you about.  You have a lease?  If you do, pay attention!  There is always lingo buried in that lovely fineprint which talks about things like”auto-renewals” and such.  There are provisions like “This contract will auto renew on a quarterly basis if we do not receive written communciation from you that you intend to cancel the contract at the end of the lease term.” Practically, what does this mean for you and I?

Here it is in a nutshell.  If you forget to send a letter over three months before the contract ends, you get to pay the current rate (no break) for at least 3 more months…  and what if you wait a few months before sending that letter?  The 90 day provision still applies.  If you are sloppy, you could end up paying for 6 extra months on a copier contract.  The timeframe to write in is called the bus.  When you miss the bus, you pay for it!
