It is definitely important that you have a contract for the service of your copier, but that does not necessarily mean that you should just keep signing the same contract with your old copier server.* Of course it is great that you develop a loyalty with the companies that you work with, but this does not mean that you should sell yourself short. *

What to Consider
Buying a copier is a significant investment for any Philadelphia business. Before you commit, take time to evaluate a few things. Start with your monthly print volume. If you print fewer than 5,000 pages a month, a mid-range machine will usually do the job. Higher volume offices should look at commercial-grade equipment built for heavier workloads.
One common mistake is focusing only on the purchase price. The real cost of owning a copier includes toner, maintenance kits, drums, and service calls. A cheaper machine can end up costing more over three to five years if the supplies are expensive or the machine breaks down frequently. Ricoh equipment is known for reliability, which helps keep those long-term costs down for PA, NJ, and DE businesses.
Bottom Line
Take your time, compare total cost of ownership, and work with a dealer you trust. The right copier should handle your daily workload without constant attention.
