Xerox ColorQube is Finally Here!

Xerox ColorQube 9201, 9202 & 9203

Xerox ColorQube 9201, 9202 & 9203

You may have heard about the Xerox ColorQube 9201, the Xerox ColorQube 9202 and Xerox ColorQube 9203, this copier in Denver is a beast.  First of all, most Denver customers are not aware this color copier is over $20,000 for the box.  The ColorQube 9203 claims that it goes “up to” 85 pages per minute, but the specs also says that it prints at 50 pages per minute.  What’s the deal with this?  Basically, it is just saying that if resolution doesn’t matter for a specific job, this is the top speed.  50 pages per minute is a better rating.  It is interesting, the wax technology is quite different than traditional toner models out there.  First of all, you can add more wax while you are printing and copying.  It is pretty easy to put the wax in the copier.  I took a picture on my phone with a wax block in my hand which you can see here…

The interesting thing about all of the wax based printers is that you have a non-toxic supply and the petroleum needed to produce the supplies are much lower than the traditional copier companies toner production needs.

Of course the biggest appeal to the Xerox ColorQube 9201, ColorQube 9202 and ColorQube 9203 is that you can get some color for less than 2 cents a page.  Xerox has broken down their cost per prints into 3 color catagories.  These are called Black plus useful color, Everyday Color and Expressive Color.  Even expressive color is in the 5 to 6 cents a page range… 

If you have been hearing about the Xerox ColorQube series in Denver and would like to speak to someone who does not get paid by Xerox about this copier, please give us a call and we will be happy to help you understand the costs, the technology or just answer general questions you may have about the Xerox ColorQube copier!

“We’ll Lease You a New Copier for What You’re Currently Paying and it’ll Go Faster…”

Another Dishonest Ploy from Copier Reps

Another Dishonest Ploy from Copier Reps

You may be nearing the end of your copier lease and you are hearing your copier rep sing a song of “bigger, better, at the same price.”  It sounds great at first, after all, why not go faster and be able to do more and if you can do it at the same costs as you currently have, all the better.  Here is the problem, you are probably paying too much for your copier in Denver!

Let’s change the product to illustrate the point.  You go to your local Starwhatever coffee house and let’s say they are charging you $8.00 per cup of coffee.  (It seems like they do sometimes) Anyway, this is way too much, and them promising to give you 32 oz instead of 20 oz does not make the $8.00 cost a good deal.  A good deal is based on fair market value and what you get for that value.

When you are buying a copier in Denver, don’t get suckered into thinking that just because the copier is faster than what you already have for the same price, that the new copier is a good deal.

Xerox Phaser 6180MFP/D Unit — Perfect for a Small Office

Xerox Phaser 6180 MFP/D

Finding that perfect multi-function unit for the small office in Denver can be brutal.  We have had customers asking for a good color copier under $1,000 and we have joked these copiers are delivered by unicorns and set up by gnomes.  The Xerox Phaser 6180MFP/D is a surprising exception.  It seems like this desktop copier is going to server Denver businesses well.  The copier is 31 pages per minute in black and white and 20 pages per minute in color.  The best part is that after the rebates, this copier can be as cheap as $550 or so!

One awesome thing about the Xerox Phaser 6180MFP/D is that it uses the same toner as the $6,000 to $7,000 color printers and copiers from Xerox use.  Of course, it is in smaller yield since this is not a high volume machine, however, the Xerox Phaser 6180MFP/D is capable of producing prints which look like they came out of $6,000 or so printers!

If you have an old printer, you can trade it in for an additional $175 off making this desktop copier just over $500 which comes standard duplexing and pretty quick speeds.

Economy Got You Down? Maybe a Copier Rental in Denver Makes Sense?

Copier Rentals in Denver

Copier Rentals in Denver

Now you know you are going to need a new copier in Denver, but you are not really wanting to commit to a $10,000 to $12,000 copier right now.  You could also look at cheap copiers in Denver, but do you really want to deal with the bad quality?  Ultimately, you may want to consider a copier rental in Denver!  Why?  Because you aren’t stuck in a long term copier contract, but you also don’t have to deal with a bad copier.

Copier rentals are perfect for locations where you may be thinking about opening a new office, but aren’t sure if it will be successful or not.  Maybe you find that you are going to go ahead and have a large 6 month project.  These are circumstances where copier rentals in Denver make sense.  Who knows, maybe you are just going to be doing a show or a convention…  These are all good times to get quotes on a copier rental. 

When is a bad time?  When you know you are going to be using the copier in Denver long term.  This is when a copier rental in Denver is rather silly.
