Stop Spending Too Much on Prints

When you sign a lease you are often not only paying for the price of the copier, but also for a set amount of prints. It’s more important than most people give it credit for, because this is an area that people generally spend too much money. Leasing agents want you to buy more prints so that they get more money for themselves. At Nashville Copier we believe in honest sales and want to help stop spending too much on prints.

You need to think about how many prints you will realistically will use a month. Think about your busy months and use that as a reference point. When you talk with leasing agents and share with them what you think you need they will always suggest more. They may make it sound like it’s a smart idea because you never know what you might need. It’s better to have more than you need so you don’t have to pay extra for more prints in the middle of them month, right?

Wrong.

Leasing companies know that you will likely never use those prints. The unused prints don’t rollover to the next month. They know that you will just be paying more than you should be every month.

For example:

• You calculate your monthly output and decide that you need 25,000 prints.
• The salesperson might suggest that you buy 30,000 prints, just in case. They offer to knock the price down from $.o15 per print to $.014 per print.
• It may sound like a good deal because you are paying less per print but you are still paying more.

25,000 prints x $.015 per print = $375 per year

30,000 prints x $.014 per print = $420 per year

That’s an extra $45 per month spent on prints that you will never use. No matter how you do the math, it is always cheaper to buy what you will use, instead of wasting money on stuff you never use.
