Hi,
I own a company called Dial a Copier and my recommendations would be as follows;
Find out who of the larger copier companies provide service in your area, specifically service contracts. Then try to find a decent colour laser to rent or purchase outright, that can be placed on a service contract. The larger machines are cheaper to run and on service contracts the toners are included. Also, should the machine break-down, the repairs are covered. These factors need to be weighed against your business needs and the exact number of copies printed.
To give you an idea of what Dial a Copier would propose;
R220pm - Monthly rental of HP Colour Laser
R24pm - Insurance
R105 - Minimum service billing (includes 100 colour prints - high quality)
R349 - Total fixed monthly costs including all toners, maintenance, service calls. Excess colour copies at R1.05 and Mono prints at 17 cents each. When you run out of toner you simply make a phone call and a new cartridge is dropped off. Depending on volumes, these costs should be extremely competitive and also offer you peace of mind, back-up, quick support, and a far superior machine to the R1500 jobs you buy at Makro and similar stores. This machine would also become your after 60 months - rent to own.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
The Dial a Copier Team
