3 Questions to Ask When You're Choosing a Copier

When you're in the market for a new copier, the search can become a daunting undertaking. There are hundreds upon hundreds of options available these days, which is good for consumers in that you'll be able to find exactly what you need for your business. On the other hand, all of these options can make it tricky to find the perfect fit for your business.

If you're working with a trusted vendor to find a new copier, you should be asking questions. Here are a few we recommend.

Why is this particular machine right for me?

Your vendor should be able to answer this question with specificity. Every copier has a function, and a place, but not every copier fits your business well. Your company should choose a copier that's uniquely suited to the kind of work you do, can handle how much your employees print, and should have features that work well with your industry.

Are you an authorized dealer?

You should ask any vendor you're working with whether they're an authorized dealer for specific brands that you're interested in. It's also important that you choose a copier from an authorized dealer instead of walking into your nearest office supply store. Big-box office supply stores sell printers and copiers that aren't rated for regular use in business.

Will you offer repairs and maintenance?

Many dealers will give you a warranty that allows for routine repairs and service. This is worth choosing—a relationship with a qualified repair technician will allow you to invest in uptime instead of spending money on copier downtime.
