Color Copiers Buyer's Guide Introduction
Color Copiers Buyer's Guide
A staple of the office for decades, the copier has come a long way since Xerox introduced
the first fully automated plain-paper photocopier in 1959. Today's models have more in
common with computers than they do with that first Xerox 914: modern copiers combine copying,
laser printing, faxing, scanning, and more into one networked machine.
The copier industry generates $24 billion in revenue by selling over 1.5 million
new copiers each year. This huge market drives manufacturers to constantly improve
their offerings and leads to a highly competitive market among the vendors who install
and service copiers.
Analog vs. digital
One of the main questions to ask when comparing
multiple copier providers is whether you should buy a digital copier or analog machine.
No longer: the answer now is a resounding "digital."
It makes little sense to buy analog these days - most manufacturers have stopped introducing
new analog models, and there is little price difference between analog and digital copiers
with similar features.
The advantages of digital machines are many:
- They combine the functions of copiers, network printers, and fax machines
- Fewer moving parts means less mechanical breakdowns
- Less noise makes for a quieter office
- They are better reproducing fine lines and photographs.
Some people like the simplicity of analog copiers - they can be simpler to operate, with
just one button to press to make a copy. However with even minimal training, your staff
will quickly get used to operating a digital machine.

Leasing a Color Copier:
Due to the high base cost and the rapidly advancing technology of color copy machines, copier leasing
is a more attractive option for many businesses than purchasing one outright.
