Friendly and Excellent Copier Technicians in Sacramento!

When buying a new copier, it’s important to consider a few key factors to ensure it fits your needs:

• Do you need a copier that supports 11 x 17 paper, or will letter/legal suffice?
• Will you be printing in color, or is black & white more practical for your business?
• How many pages per month do you typically print? This will help determine the copier’s capacity.
• How many paper drawers do you need to accommodate your workflow?

We’re here to guide you through the process and help you choose the right copier for your Sacramento business. Contact us today to get started!

How Fast Do You Need Your Copier?

The speed of a copier depends on your monthly printing volume, but it’s often overestimated. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

• For 2,000 or fewer copies: A copier that prints 20 pages per minute should be sufficient.
• For 2,000 to 5,000 copies: We recommend a copier that prints 30-35 pages per minute.
• For over 5,000 copies a month: A copier that prints 45 pages per minute or faster would be ideal.

Understanding the Time Difference

For example, if you're printing 3,000 pages a month, here’s how long it would take to print those documents:

• 20 Pages per Minute: 150 minutes/month, or 6.81 minutes per day
• 30 Pages per Minute: 100 minutes/month, or 4.54 minutes per day
• 40 Pages per Minute: 75 minutes/month, or 3.40 minutes per day
• 60 Pages per Minute: 50 minutes/month, or 2.72 minutes per day

The difference between 20 pages per minute and 60 pages per minute is only about 4 minutes per day of printing.

When you're considering a purchase, especially with a price range between $5,000 and $15,000, it’s important to factor in these small differences. While some businesses do need the higher-speed copiers, it's often because they require less maintenance and are built for higher volume, rather than just speed alone.

Tax Advantages: Section 179

If your business has had a strong financial year, Section 179 of the IRS tax code could offer significant tax benefits. This section allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment, such as copiers, in the year the purchase is made—instead of depreciating the cost over several years.

By taking advantage of Section 179, you can reduce your taxable income, which can result in substantial tax savings.

Contact us today to learn how you can benefit from Section 179 and make a smart investment in your business’s future! Of course, always discuss financial implications with your accountant to ensure these details apply in your situation.
