New color multifunction systems allow businesses to create color documents quickly and cost-effectively.  These systems print, copy and scan in brilliant color, equipping you with the tools to create, duplicate, and store your creations.

Make sure you’re staying ahead of the curve by investing in a color-enabled MFP.  Enjoy the same function and added benefit of professional color for about the same investment as a black-and-white system. Compared to ink jet or laser printers, a color-enabled MFP allows you to print, copy, and scan in full color at faster speeds for a fraction of the cost. Digital copiers also produce high-resolution copies with more clarity and detail than analog copiers.

Color ink jet printers are actually the most expensive color output devices to operate.  As high profit items, ink jet cartridges are now the focus of most office supply stores’ advertising.  Similarly, color laser printers are inexpensive to purchase but also have a high cost of operation.

Multifunction systems operate on low cost-per-page agreements that include supplies, preventative maintenance, and on-site service.  The net result is lower output costs. 

Considering the facts, will you put color back into productivity? continue reading...

The most expensive liquid in the world may be the ink located in the cartridges used for ink jet printers.  Did you realize that it costs around $2,800.00 a gallon for this ink?  With expenses like this, it’s not surprising that many new computers now include a color ink jet printer for free—the computer company will probably make more of a profit on replacement cartridges than they did on the original computer.

So how does this affect you?

Ink jet printers may make sense for casual use at home but they can be a huge burden to office budgets. More and more businesses are realizing that a color multifunction system is a smart part of a cost reduction strategy. 

• Lower your Cost per Page: Color Multifunction systems provide output at a fraction of the cost of ink jet printers.  Using an ink jet printer can cost you up to 80 cents per page whereas color multifunction systems operate at fixed costs of less than 10 cents per page.
• Increase Speed and Improve Quality: Color MFPs print at up to 35 pages per minute and in brilliant color.  As well as being painfully slow, color ink jet printers need to use expensive paper to produce a professional image.

• Enhance Business Processes: Many color multifunction systems incorporate scanning, copying and even faxing that will increase business efficiency.
