What to do if Your Copier Rep Quits/Gets Laid Off…

February 5th, 2010
What to do when your copier rep is laid off...

What to do when your copier rep is laid off...

Your copier rep in Denver has just been laid off or they are quitting for greener pastures elsewhere.  This is always a frustrating time because in general people don’t like copier reps really well so when you find a good one, it really stinks to lose them.  If your copier rep in Denver has been laid off or has quit, there are a few things you need to do before it is too late!

First of all, in any business relationship, there are always unspoken modes of operation.  Maybe your copier rep knows you won’t pay for shipping, so they take care of this detail for you.  Maybe you need to have everything in a formal PO, maybe you overpaid on something, so they have been giving you cheaper toner.  Whatever arrangements you have made, it is wise to get these into writing (It is wise to do even if they are not quitting!).

I know it feels awkward to ask your rep to send an E mail outlining these procedures.  If you don’t it is unlikely the copier company will honor these special arrangements.  You will get frustrated and probably find a new copier company “because they don’t do things right.”

If you are looking for a new copier company in Denver, please give us a call.  We will do everything we can to give you a good copier buying experience!

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

January 29th, 2010
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.

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

January 8th, 2010
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.

Lexmark Printers and Copiers

December 30th, 2009
Our Favorite Lexmark Product!

Our Favorite Lexmark Product!

When you sell as many brands of printers and copiers as we do, it gets a bit overwhelming at times trying to keep up on all of the options.  As of today, we sell HP Copiers, Kyocera Copiers, Copystar Copiers (same as Kyocera), Ricoh Copiers, Lexmark Copiers, Okidata Copiers, Xerox Copiers and a few other copiers here and there.  It gets overwhelming because of the sheer volume of devices out there.  If we look at Lexmark, for instance, here is what is in their product line along with a little summary of some of the devices…

Lexmark Black and White Printers:

Lexmark E120 -Small office or personal use only

Lexmark E260/E360 – Still for small office use.  Maybe 2 reams a month or so of paper.

Lexmark E460 — Still small office, up to about 2,500 sheets of paper a month.

Lexmark T65o Series, This series contains the Lexmark T650, the Lexmark T652, and the Lexmark T654 printers.  These are god high volume black and white printers which we would feel comfortable having up to 15,000 pages a month printed on.

Lexmark Color Printers:  There are a bunch more printers in this lineup!

Lexmark C540 Series, includes the C540, the C543 and the C544 printers.  These are solid low use devices.  These get expensive if you do a lot of color printing so that’s not recommended.

Lexmark C734, Lexmark C736, and Lexmark C780 and Lexmark C782 are excellent color printers for a mid sized office.  They compete well with the HP Laserjet 4700 series. The cost per print is reasonable, but not the best in the market.

Lexmark C935 color printer.  This used to be a Xerox printer as you will find it looks very similar to the Xerox Phaser 7760 or the Xerox Phaser 7750.

Now these are just the laser printers of one brand.  When you multiply this by 7, you might be able to see how this can get confusing.  This is why we built our free printer comparison tool (to the right of the page…) 

Please give us a call if you need a printer or copier in the Denver area.

Happy Thanksgiving — A Non-Copier related post…

Let's Be Thankful Before Buying Copiers in Denver

Let's Be Thankful Before Buying Copiers in Denver

Yes, we are a copier company in Denver, but this is really the time of year where buying a copier in Denver is secondary to being grateful for what we have and showing thanks to those we love.  Let’s be real, in 20 years, who will care if a copier was 20 pages a minute or 75 pages a minute?  These things, though important to help a business be efficient with copying needs, is not what we look back on at the end of our days.

Who looks back and says, “man, I wish I would have bought that Konica Minota copier rather than that Sharp copier when I owned that company in Denver!”

These pieces of technology are fleeting, they fail, they die.  Really, they are not that much different than we are.  We all have the same end as these pieces of equipment at the end of the day.  This is why it is important to take inventory of what we have and give thanks!  You may have differing religious views, different philosophical views, but really, I would assume we all can find something we can be grateful for this holiday season.

Of course we will help you buy a copier.  Sometimes a copier purchase in Denver is not the most important thing in the world.  I am just hoping I can remind you of this simple fact!

Don’t Bury Your Head in the Sand About Your Copier Purchase in Denver

August 1st, 2009
Don't Have Your Head in the Sand for a Copier Purchase?

Don't Have Your Head in the Sand for a Copier Purchase?

Most people are concerned with offending their copier rep by getting a competitive quote.  Instead of asking some tough questions, they don’t have the time to really look at quotes and see exactly what they are getting charged for.  If you are in the market for a copier, here are some things to ask your copier rep.

  1. Does this copier create ozone? Most will in relatively small amounts, there are a few “green models” that don’t.
  2. What happens if I do full color copies all the time?
  3. Is installation included?  How much is being added to my quote for this service? 
  4. How many PM calls are expected given my workload?

Thes questions will start opening some doors for your Denver Copier purchase.  If you have other questions about purchasing a copier in Denver, give us a call!

Lexmark Refreshes Product Line

October 25th, 2008
Lexmark Multifunction Device

Lexmark Multifunction Device

Lexmark has just done a product refresh of massive proportions.  80% of their product line have received a refresh.  The Lexmark X642e/X644e have been replaced by the X652e/X654e.  Even the Lexmark T640, T642 and T644 have been replaced by a T65X series.  I am always skeptical when a manufacturer does a refresh as it is generally more about having products which a compatible toner cannot be used rather than massive product upgrades.  This seems a little different.  Some upgrades to an already awesome X644e are as follows…

The 8″ color touch screen has been upgraded to a 9″ color touch screen

The scanner has shown a 250% improvement in quality labs

The ADF has gone from a 50 page max to a 75 page max

Speed has gone from 50ppm to 75ppm

Real finishing and mailbox options now exist

Some vertical market applications are simply added (even at a later date now).  There is a solution for Education, Medical and Legal markets.

The drawer system now works without a massive headache if you were going to have multiple drawers

The improvements made were definately noticeable on this line.  If you want more information on the Lexmark line of printers and multi-function devices, you can visit our sister site and choose which device you want to see and get detailed specs including a downloadable .pdf file.
