What is Cost Per Copy?

Cost Per Copy(CPC) is a management tool to shop, compare, and maintain office copiers. Cost per copy may be used to budget office copier expense.
CPC is sometimes made into a product by dealers to be offered to their clients as an alternative to rental. CPC, as a financial tool, is simply the total maintenance cost divided by the number of copies. This ratio takes into account the cost of toners, drum, fuser roller, developer, feed rollers, ADF belts, and all parts. Service charge is also included. PM kits and Overhauls are sometimes not covered depending on the dealer. In order to calculate an accurate CPC, PM kits and overhauls should be included.
Cost per copy calculations may sometimes be complicated.
Please feel free to contact one of our friendly consultants to figure out your exact cost per copy so that you’ll be in a great shape to shop for your next copier.

What is considered as a low cost per copy?

Lowest cost per copy is achieved by heavy users.
For most business applications, 2 cents per copy is considered expensive for our customers. Some of our larger customers average as low as 1 cents per copy.
This can be guaranteed by subscribing to a full coverage service contract. Please contact our service department for more information.

Would you recommend Multi Functional (Copier/Scanner/Fax/Printer)?

Multi-Functional products are recommended for light users without specific needs.
If you start generating lots of copies, your cost per copy will soon be both unreasonable and unbearable.
