West Union, Illinois | ... a good guess would be an average of 10 per day... OK, so 3,000 per month. Let's say the xerographic copier (ie uses toner instead of ink cartridges) is 2 cents per copy cheaper. It's only $.02 ... or $72 per year. I would suggest for your use you want to look at a small office duty machine. If you are making 10 copies a day ease of operation is a key factor. Simple operation, quick first copy time, these are factors you want to watch when you get your hands on a demonstrator.
A personal copier like you usually find at Staples or Office Max will be OK, but if there is an office machine dealer in your area (they are getting more and more scarce) it may be worth your time to at least talk with them. Your initial cost may be higher, but your total cost of ownership may be less. edit: Yes, I erred. I had a 2 year old helping me run the calculator. It is corrected. The principle is still there. Total cost of ownership must factor in the supplies. It is also one of the toughest questions to get answered (How many pages will I get from that ink cartridge or toner?) and one of the biggest considerations when comparing costs.
