Straightforward answers to common questions about requesting, reviewing and comparing business printer and photocopier quotes.
Yes. The Copier Check quote request is free and there is no obligation to accept a proposal. Supplier availability varies by location and requirement.
No. You decide whether any proposal is suitable. Compare the equipment, payment arrangement, service scope, usage charges, installation and end-of-agreement conditions before proceeding. See how the quote comparison process works.
Use recent device meter readings or invoices where they are available. Otherwise, record a representative week, separate mono and colour pages, and allow for busy periods or known business changes. Use the monthly print-volume guide.
Cost per page is the stated charge for each mono or colour page under a proposal. Ask what the rate includes, how meter readings are collected, whether minimum billing applies and how the rate may change. Read the cost-per-page guide.
Treat A3 as essential when the business regularly prints documents larger than A4. For occasional A3 work, compare the cost and convenience of an A3-capable device with using another suitable printing route. Compare A3 and A4 requirements.
No. Coverage varies between proposals. Ask which consumables, parts, labour and support services are included, how supplies are requested and which items or situations are excluded. Review managed print and support arrangements.
Printer rental can be compared for temporary offices, projects, events, relocations or short-term additional capacity. State the required dates and ask the supplier to include delivery, setup, support, possible extensions and collection. Plan a temporary printer rental.
Compare the proposed equipment, upfront charges, agreement length, service scope, mono and colour rates, minimum usage, installation, training, optional extras and end-of-agreement arrangements. Use the same assumptions for every proposal. Understand photocopier lease costs and review the printer lease checklist.
