Evaluating Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Cost/Value Benefits Consider how a printer or multifunction printer can help you reduce costs. Affordability is a big consideration when choosing a printer or multifunction printer. Is the product priced competitively with comparable products? How does a multifunction printer compare with purchasing multiple stand-alone devices? When evaluating a printer or multifunction printer, remember that the total cost includes several factors besides the initial purchase price, including the cost of supplies. Are supply costs competitive? Does the vendor provide fact-based tools and methods to help you assess current TCO? With Xerox® printers and multifunction printers, you can add color capabilities to your office for a surprisingly low overall cost. Low cost per page Laser printers and multifunction printers are good choices for fast-paced businesses on a budget. Once ink costs are taken into consideration, inkjet printers, initially perceived as being low cost, often turn out to have a higher TCO than the higher performing laser devices. Having a choice between high-capacity and low-capacity cartridges can help you manage your budget. Choose high-capacity for cost savings and nonstop printing. Choose standard capacity at a lower price, if printing loads are lighter. Reduce toner costs by taking advantage of cost-saving features like toner-saver mode. Run Black feature allows you to print color documents in black when a color cartridge is empty. The cost of space The compact design of Phaser® and WorkCentre® printers can save space on your desktop while smaller toner cartridges with minimal packaging use less precious office storage space. A multifunction printer can add new capabilities to your business and consolidate several office products (along with their supplies) into one. Consolidate and save Multifunction printers are useful assets to help manage and control costs by eliminating some of the need for hard copy documents. You can avoid printing altogether with such features as fax forward to email and by saving scanned files directly to a USB memory drive for easy portability. Reliability and ease of use TCO can increase significantly for devices that are hard to use and maintain, unreliable, or lack the features and capabilities to efficiently and effectively produce the results you need.
