Buying a Color Copier:
If you are looking at buying a color copier, the industry has made some pretty significant changes over the last two years. One of the newest things out there is the concept of “tiered” billing. Essentially, what tiered billing means that you get charged different amounts for color and for black and white.
When you are getting a copier quote in Colorado Springs, the idea is to ensure you have this as you will often print spot color and often full color. Of course a good priced single copy rate can still work, it is just a matter of crunching the numbers in your particular situation. Generally speaking, tied billing happens on more expensive copiers.

Doing What's Best for Your Colorado Springs Color Copier
Given the economy, most people in Colorado Springs are looking for every little way to get the most out of their budget. Perhaps you’re one of those people, and if so, this post is for you. Compatibles and remanufactured cartridges (if they’re warrantied and from a reputable manufacturer) can be a great way to save cash on your color printing. Manufacturers don’t want people doing this, and so they (sometimes correctly, but generally incorrectly) tell you using anything other than OEM products will most likely ruin your color printer…NOT true!
However, when it comes to color copiers, the story is much different. I’m generally for whatever is the least expensive and still produces results…which is why I generally recommend compatibles for color printers. However, copiers are much more precise technology, and if you’ve ever watched an old color copier’s prints go downhill fast, you know what I’m talking about. Given their expense, more fragile working parts, and the already fairly low price of OEM consumables, using a compatible ink or toner in a color copier just isn’t worth it.
It’s a little like putting a new bio-fuel in a Lamborghini–it may work just fine, but given the expense and demanding nature of the machine, I’d feel a lot more comfortable putting it in a simple, sturdy Corolla. Feel free to give me a call for a quote on your new color printer or color copier in Colorado Springs.

Color Copiers Colorado Springs: 5 Tips to Keep in Mind
Buying or leasing a color copier in Colorado Springs should be one of those fairly easy tasks. However, like cars, insurance, or financial planning, there is a lot of information you just don’t know unless you’re in the industry. This blog is about pulling back the curtain on my industry and giving you solid advice about your next purchase of a copier in Colorado Springs.
Color Copiers can either save you lots of money by bringing your color printing/copying in-house, or it can break your monthly budget. Here are 5 tips to consider when purchasing your color copier in Colorado Springs:
1. Understand Coverage. This is how much color you’re actually putting on your prints. The quoted industry average is 20%. I saw a church flyer today that was around 180% color on the page. 20% means that it uses 5% Cyan, 5% Magenta, 5% Yellow, and 5% Black. If your page has very much color on it (at all!), you are very likely well over the 20% average. This makes color copiers very expensive if you’ve purchased one that has high toner costs.
2. The less expensive the color copier, the more expensive the toner and supplies. Don’t just buy it because it’s cheap.
3. Buy a common brand. If you’re purchasing the color copier in Colorado Springs, you want to make sure there is a local tech (who has competition) that can fix your machine quickly.
4. Figure out if leasing or purchasing is better for your needs. Both have their positives and negatives, your next color copier here in Colorado Springs should meet your budget needs.
5. Consider a cost per print plan (like Xerox’s). If you have high-coverage copies and regular monthly print cycles, you’ll end up saving a LOT of money. The key here is keeping your print plan right at your monthly needs so you don’t end up paying for prints you don’t use.
