The Good Printer Comparison Guide

Introduction

This user friendly comparison guide has been devised to easily calculate the true running costs (hardware and running costs) of your current machines against the proposed alternative.  The petrol tank calculator shows you over time when the new hardware cost will be repaid and how much you will save over the entered duration of the contract.

This guide enables new machine comparison as well as comparing your existing hardware with the true running costs (called “cost of ownership”) of the hardware.

This guide can be used to compare any product – water rates, telephone system etc where a hardware lease / rental or fixed monthly charge is offset with a variable fixed click or unit charge.  It gives a projection of savings based on usage overtime and aids in decisions about hardware and charges.

For example, is a MFD more expensive to run than service included on a cost per page contract with a separate black and white copier.  This answer will help you decide on the hardware.

Top Tips

• It’s not the hardware but the ongoing service charges that you need to focus on when making a decision to change
• Cash purchase where expressed as £100’s distract you from the real benefits of the hardware when expressed on a lease over a fixed period and where the running costs are expressed in pennies but volume is expressed in thousands
• Little pennies make huge pounds when multiplied by your growing volume – take the test!
