Should you buy a new copier or just repair your old one? Business owners face this question constantly when their copier or printer needs repairs. But by answering a few questions and looking at some numbers the answers become pretty obvious fairly quickly. The first question to ask is how dependent your business is on your copier or printer? If you're heavily dependent on it and it keeps failing then it makes sense to either invest in a new or refurbished copier or printer and an on-going maintenance program from a certified technician. If you handle it correctly you'll prolong the life of your copier or printer.
If you need the help of printer repair service provider only occasionally it may be annoying but for new or refurbished copiers under warranty it won't cost you money.During the warranty period it may be bearable but what happens after that? Obviously you have to bear in mind the cost of fees and the parts which get replaced. As your cash is eaten up in repairs, it's time to make the choice between repairing and replacing your copier or printer.
Here is the advice we offer customers to calculate whether to replace or repair after the warranty has expired and regular repairs and service are required.
First, calculate the repair costs you have paid for the upkeep of your copier or printer in the last six months. If the costs are more than fifty percent of the cost you paid for the machine when you bought it, you should seriously think of getting it replaced with a If you still want to stay with your old printer or copier, chances are very good that you will pay more for repairs and service than you would have spent to replace it. Another point to keep in mind; replacing your copier or printer will also allow you to take advantage of newer technology that can make your office tasks much easier.
