Photocopier- How To Make The Right Choice
In order to choose your photocopier, it is important to think about how much the photocopier will be used and what the machine will mostly be used for. Decide on how many copies are made per day or month and what the photocopier will be mostly used for. This will help determine whether you will need a colour or black and white photocopier, how large the photocopier will be and the size of it’s capacity tray.
Another thing to consider is if the photocopier has a duplex option. This allows for double sided printing and the photocopier should have the option to set double sided printing as default. This saves a lot of paper, there will be an option for single sided printing, but make sure it’s only used when completely necessary. To save energy, standby energy can be used which switches automatically to stand-by mode when not in use. New technology means that photocopiers enter into stand-by mode when they are not being used and have very quick start up times. For example, new photocopiers use just 3w of standby energy, in comparison to 690w for some older devices.
Another important thing to consider is if a multifunctional photocopier would be useful. These are ideal for copying, printing, scanning and even faxing all in one photocopier and can save much space if you need a photocopier for a small office, as well as saving money compared to purchasing each of these devices separately.
The resolution of the photocopier can decide the clarity of each copy, for example quality and sharpness of an image and is measured in dots per inch. Some photocopiers can have very high resolutions, but unless you need a number of prints with extremely clear images, this can increase the running cost of the photocopier, therefore extremely high resolution photocopiers are often only really worthwhile for graphic relating work.
