Some business owners may think that a business copy machine wouldn’t be worth the investment for their office. Perhaps when you think of a business copy machine, you imagine a scene from the movies: a drab office, cubicles, the water cooler, bad florescent lighting, and the giant copy machine that always jams. “My business is nothing like that!” you think. The truth is, a good copy machine can be a very helpful tool for many different businesses. Plus, they don’t actually jam that often, as long as they’re well maintained. Here are three types of businesses that may benefit from investing in a business copy machine.

Artists, writers, and creative types

If you’ve been hard at work on a new novel or burning the midnight oil working on your next sculpture, a business copy machine is probably the last thing on you mind. However, to succeed in a creative venture, you have to be able to sell yourself and a reliable copy machine can help you do that. If you need to print copies of your latest manuscript, a business copy machine will be able to collate the pages, staple the document, or bind it using saddle stitch. Also, creating marketing material for your next performance or gallery showing will be a snap with a business copy machine. You won’t have to waste money and time visiting a professional print shop to produce flyers or pamphlets. Something like the Konica Minolta Bizhub C284 Color Copier Printer Scanner would fit nicely into a small studio space and would help you handle the business side of your creative endeavors.

Labor and construction companies

There are two distinct sides of most labor and construction companies: the side that does the physical work and the side that handles the paperwork. If you own a company that does landscaping, home construction, welding, or other types of labor, there’s a good chance that you run the business from your home or from a field office on the job site. Even if it’s not necessary to rent or buy a physical office space, a business copy machine can still be an incredibly helpful tool. A business copy machine like the Konica Minolta Bizhub 4050 B/W Copy-Print-Scan-Fax System has all the features you need to communicate effectively with your customers or business associates. This device makes it easy to quickly print invoices, checks, or contracts. The fax feature will help you send plans or supply orders quickly and easily. Plus, the Bizhub 4050 is small enough to fit on your desk.

Home-based sales

Home-based businesses have become a popular choice lately for parents with young children, students, retirees, or anyone who needs a little extra cash. Whether you’re selling clothes, cosmetics, or something else, a business copy machine can help you build your empire. As you grow your business, your personal printer is going to have trouble keeping up. Personal printers are usually slow and simply aren’t designed to print at a high volume. The Konica Minolta Bizhub C3350 Color Copier Printer Scanner is small enough to fit in a home office, but still prints at a speed of 38-pages-per-minute. When you have to print dozens of shipping labels or run your financial reports at the end of the month, the Bizhub C3350 will certainly come in handy.

While it’s absolutely true that not every business needs a full-sized copy machine, there are still lots of useful tools that you can use to grow your business. Creative endeavors, construction companies, and home-based businesses can all benefit from the great features provided by a Konica Minolta business copy machine.
