Sometimes when we walk into a copier opportunity, we are walking into an unwinnable situation, or I have yet to acquire the skills to win the copier deal.  We see people sign up for terrible copier deals and there are some common elements we see in these bad deals.

The biggest mistake we see people make when buying a copier is rushing to get a quote rather than taking their time to ensure the quote they are getting is for the correct copier to begin with.

We will get a call with a question like, “Can we get a quote for a Kyocera Copystar 3060 with 3 trays, the fax card, the saddle stitch finisher, the extra 512MB of RAM and the scanning feature?”  If I ask how they arrived at this machine, I often get an answer back that “we know this is the machine we want, so can we just get a quote?”   Basically, what this tells me is that I have no real chance to get the business.  Someone has already approached them with a copier deal, it sounds good to them and now they just want to make sure they are not getting screwed.  Fair enough, but hard to get excited about the opportunity for me because they already trust the other copier dealer enough that they are sure they want to go with his/her recommendation.  They just want to make sure that company doesn’t make much money.

Now, if they would go through the extra 10 minutes of my questions, they may find out that they don’t need tabloid copy capability, or that this is simply too much machine for them, or they may discover this is indeed the best copier for their needs.  It is hard for me to help when these situations come up and as much as I want to sell them their next copier in Denver, I am still not too excited to even quote as my experience has taught me they will just use my quote to lower my competitors pricing.  Rarely will I get a fair chance.  In these situations, I simply shoot a quick E mail with some prices as I don’t want to get too involved in a quote I cannot win.

The second most common copier buying mistake in Denver that I see is getting a color copier when color is totally not needed.

This is a common issue when a competitor offers a free upgrade to color.  Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to print in color if needed?  Of course it would be, but these companies are generally banking on the fact companies that have color and don’t manage it strictly tend to print way more in color than they would like to.

The final most common mistake I see is getting too hung up on one train of thought.

Some common ones out there are just looking at the speed per minute (and not paying attention to warm up times), deciding on stapling when only used once a year, wanting a specific brand like Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Xerox or Toshiba and nothing else, or resolution of a color copier (and not image quality).  All of these are indeed an important consideration, but when they become the ONLY buying factor, they can add thousands of dollars to the ultimate bill.  We recommend taking all the facts about the copier you intend to purchase and then when all these facts are weighed, rewarding the Denver business that gave you the most appealing offer.

Buying Xerox printers in Denver:

Buying a Xerox printer in Denver can be a real challenge for the buyer who doesn’t live in the printer world  every day.  It is hard to know what differences each printer has.  Are you getting a great deal up front, but maybe paying a bit too much down the road?  How do you know which is the correct laser printer to purchase in Denver when you don’t know all the differences between the products.

Xerox has a myriad of laser printers to choose from.  They start at about $100 and can be as expensive as $6000 for a tabloid color laser printer with a few extra drawers.  When you buy how can you be sure you are purchasing the correct Xerox laser printer?

It is important to consider these factors when purchasing a color laser printer

• What is your coverage?  (How much of the page is covered in toner?)
• Do you need to do letter/legal or are your prints tabloid (11 X 17)
• How many pages a month do you plan to print?

When you understand these factors you can purchase the correct laser printer for the job.  You won’t spend $3,000 for a laser printer when you could have been just as happy with a $500 laser printer.

Give us a call and we’ll help you find the perfect Xerox laser printer for your office.  If you hate Xerox, we can sell other brands too!

The Logical Copier Choice!

Denver: Xerox WorkCentre Copiers

Buying office equipment is easy when one knows exactly what
they want – as it is, this is rarely the case. Denver copier sales offer a
multitude of options from many respectable companies, along with fax machines,
scanners, and printing units. All too often a business owner will overlook the
fact that these necessary tools can all be purchased in one device, which can
save time, money and the stress of having to pour over the selection of what
amounts to probably more than a handful of specialty stores.

Fortunately, the Xerox WorkCentre 7120T is one of the best options to do
all of the above, and worth the investigation by any company seeking out Denver
copier sales.

These are only a couple of the features of the Xerox
Workcentre 7120T that make it such a great choice:

All those functions made simple by a huge 7 inch, full color touch screen

• Up to three fax lines
• Network utilities to make life and business easier, including Xerox’s
  CentreWare service for remote device monitoring
• Scan to print, email, and even PDF
• Environment conscious, space efficient, and low noise

“We only receive faxes from people in our address book.  If it comes from anyone else, we do not see the fax come through, can you help us out?”

More than likely the issue is that of Junk Faxes.  The WC 6400 includes this feature for offices who get bombarded by a bunch of marketing faxes they don’t want.  If you would like to turn on the junk fax prevention, or turn it off, here are some step by step instructions for you.

Enabling or Disabling Junk Fax Prevention
Junk fax prevention disables printing of any faxes sent from fax telephone numbers not stored in the
speed dial directory.
To enable or disable junk fax prevention:
1. At the printer control panel, press the Machine Status button.
2. Touch the Tools tab, touch Service Settings, then touch Embedded Fax Settings.
3. Touch Incoming Fax Defaults, then touch Junk Fax Prevention. Touch:
• Enabled: Prevents faxes from printing if the fax telephone numbers are not stored in the
speed dial directory.

• Disabled: Allows faxes to print if the fax telephone numbers are not stored in the speed dial
directory..
4. Touch Save.
5. Touch Close, then log out.

Xerox Colorqube 9301 Copier

If you do a ton of color copies, the Xerox Colorqube series may be a great fit for you.  If you do 3,000 color copies per month or so, probably not the best fit for you.  The Xerox Colorqube 9301 is for those users who are constantly printing or copying in color.  The appeal to the Colorqube copies is the cheap per print costs for color.  For example, there are a lot of “business copies” of color that are under $.03 per print.  Compare this to the $.065 or $.08 from other color copiers in Denver, this adds up fast.  Some will object to the high list cost (currently over $20,000) and will think they can never make this work.  Here is the math though…

Say your current color copier you do 8,500 color copies a month and you are paying an industry average of $.08 per color copy.  If these are everyday business color, the Xerox will be about $.025 per color print, making a $.055 cost differential per color copy.

$.055 X 8,500 = 467.50 differential in color print costs.  Now if you look at a five year lease and see that your lease rate factor is .021, you can divide the $467.50 by .021 and see that you could finance a copier that costs $22,261.90 — A colorqube can be bought cheaper than this.  So it appears the “breakeven point” could be closer to 7,500.  Now, if you have to buy another copier anyway, that copier may cost $11,000 anyway so you’d only need to save $9,000 over 5 years on color prints which works out to about 2725 color prints a month.  Yes, the Colorqube is expensive up front, we do not deny this. The value proposition of the Colorqube copier from Xerox is the long term Total Cost of Ownership.

Give us a call if you would like for us to run the numbers for you and see if a Xerox Colorqube copier makes sense for you!  Currently there are 6 large Colorqube models, the Colorqube 9201, 9202, 9203 and the Colorqube 9301, 9302 and 9303 as well as the two smaller Xerox Colorcube units the Colorqube 8570 and the Colorqube 8870.
