Many businesses may hesitate to buy a photocopier for their office. While it makes sense to buy a simple printer, a full-scale photocopier may seem like a luxury that you can’t afford. Or, perhaps you feel like you don’t have the space or the need for a copier. Although this may be true for a few businesses, most offices would greatly benefit from the added convenience of a photocopier in the office.
No more trips to the copy shop
The most obvious reason to have your own copier is to eliminate the need to make trips to a print or copy shop. Having copies made at an outside business requires you to come up with a design, get it to the copy shop, then wait for your completed project. Most businesses have better things to do with their time. Plus, modern photocopiers are fully capable of handling projects that previously may have required a copy shop. For instance, the Konica Minolta Bizhub C284 Color Copier Printer Scanner can hold paper up to size 12” x 18” and up to 90-pound cardstock.
Print, copy, and more
When is a photocopier just photocopier? With the current technology, the answer is: practically never. When you invest in a photocopier, you know that it will also be able to print documents from your computer. What you may not realize is that multi-function printers also usually include scan and fax features. The Konica Minolta Bizhub 4050 B/W Copy-Print-Scan-Fax System is a 4-in-1 system that will handle all your office needs and still fit in a fairly small area. You’ll be able to easily scan, build, and save projects at a rate of 48 pages per minute. You’ll also be able to fax using the machine itself or directly from your computer, saving you the trouble and cost of printing a hardcopy of the document you need to send.
Quality and quickness
Personal printers are great for a home office or for students who need to print homework assignments, but they usually can’t cut it in a professional setting. Photocopiers allow you to print and copy documents fast enough to keep up with the business world. The Konica Minolta Bizhub C554 Color Copier Printer Scanner churns out 55 pages per minute for color and black and white. Plus, it scans 80 pages per minute. Another bonus of commercial photocopiers is that they usually come with finishers, features that allow you to automatically staple, hole punch, or fold documents. All of these benefits will save time and employees will be satisfied with their job and working environment.
Increased accuracy
High-quality photocopiers improve the accuracy and efficiency with which you make copies or print documents. One great thing about digital copiers is that they can collate copies. Older copiers forced you to copy each page of your document, then assemble all of the pages. This not only wasted time, it increased the chance of errors. It is also much easier to duplex documents on professional copiers because modern photocopiers scan and print both sides of a document at once. This means no more flipping documents over, re-feeding them into the machine, then cursing when you realize you did it wrong. Konica Minolta photocopiers also have a Proof Copy/Print feature, which allows you to print a test page before printing your full project.
Having a photocopier in your office provides lots of convenient features. You can enjoy the ability to print, copy, scan, and fax from one device. You’ll be able to print high-quality documents quickly and accurately. Best of all, you will save time and money at the copy shop. Contact us today we’re just a phone call away.
