Do I need a photocopier?

Photocopiers are still the cheapest and most effective way of copying pages, documents and images. You may want to consider what type of photocopier you need, as there is a large variety of photocopiers on offer in the market. For example, you may need colour, or just black and white. Some companies need to photocopy large documents, up to A3 or even larger in some cases! Additionally, dependent on the size of your business, the print speed and number of trays can be increased or reduced accordingly to suit your needs.

Desktop photocopiers are getting more advanced, and often they have the same functionality to large floor standing devices. These printers and becoming more common due to the advanced functionality offered. However, MFPs are best suited to businesses who have large workforces that rely on printing, scanning and photocopying documents.
