Printing your documents out in color can be eye-catching. When you are trying to get your small business off the ground, attracting customers is essential. It may seem like the world has moved on now, but color copies and multifunction printers (MFP) have not become obsolete just yet. Here is more information about both of them.
Important Considerations for Both
Both machines have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is crucial that you weigh all of your options before making a decision. When you being the process of choosing a color copier or its counterpart, here are six questions you will need to answer:
- How many employees will need to use it?
- How much floor or counter space do you have available for it?
- What is your monthly output in terms of color copies made and documents printed out?
- What is the size of the copies that you produce?
- Do we need to have scanning and faxing functionalities included as well?
- What other factors do we need to address? (two examples are speed and image resolution – pixelation looks unprofessional!)
Color Copies
Now let’s dive into the benefits of using color copies. Photocopiers first appeared in the 1960s and in those fifty or sixty years they have become immensely popular. Nowadays, color copies are versatile products, since you can designate different paper sizes and stock; finishes; bindings; and auto-duplex printing. With these printers you can create excellent examples of the printed products that you can provide your customers with; take, for example, presentation folders, posters, and portfolios. However, one major consideration is cost: you might not be able to fit top-of-the-line color copiers into your budget, especially if you need your resources to be spent for other reasons.
MFP
Multifunction printers, as their name implies, can do a lot for you. Scanning, printing, copying, and faxing are all right there at your fingertips. Your home office has never been this efficient, especially if you have a growing stable of clients, anywhere from 3 to 40. Taking turns and multitasking might become necessary, but you can establish sign-up sheets or virtual queues for whomever needs the printer and limit print sizes to something more reasonable in a single run.
