Common Copier Lease Questions2

Dealing with copier leases over the last 10 years, there are questions that often come up and a few that should come up a bit more often.  I want to address these questions in this post.

Can I Get a Service Plan if I Choose to Purchase a Copier?

Yes!  You can get the same service plan if you lease or if you purchase a copier.  It is like leasing or buying a car.  The idea is that a lease makes it so you can use the vehicle.  Buying the car means you are more committed to the long term partnership with the car.  We do the same supplies and service plan if you lease or buy.

What is the Difference Between $1 Out and FMV Copier Lease?

A $1 Out copier lease means you make all your payments and at the end you pay $1 and own the copier.  This could also be called lease to own.  The FMV (Fair Market Value) lease is a lease where you can own it at the end, but it is based on fair market value.  Instead of $1, it may be $2500.  FMV leases are cheaper per month, but you are responsible to return the copier at the end of the lease term.  The $1 is more expensive, but you get to keep the copier at the end of the lease.

Should I Lease a Copier?  Isn’t that what Everyone Does?

We can’t say if you should lease or purchase.  We sell and lease copiers.  To us, it doesn’t matter.  The deciding factor is cash flow.  If you are cash rich, buying the copier will probably make more sense.  There are accounting reasons to look at leasing vs purchase too.  Operational expenses, tax stuff, all that goodness your accountant is paid for.

I Want a $1500 copier, what is the Lease Payment?

We normally would not suggest a lease when a copier is this cheap.  By the time you pay the paperwork fees and have to insure the copier on your business policy, it could be well over 20% interest rates.  Our generally suggested amount to start thinking about a copier lease is $3000.

If I Lease, I Can Upgrade Whenever I Want?

Kind of – there is a catch though.  Say you leased a copier for 5 years and at 4.5 years, you decide it is time to upgrade, the copier company rolls the last 6 payments into the new copier.  This doesn’t work as well if you are at year 1 year and 3 months.   Then at that point you have 3 and 9 months making the rollover not feasible.

Are Supplies and Service Included?

Maybe.  When doing a copier lease, we can add some cost in to cover maintenance and a certain number of prints to keep the monthly costs the same.  Each client is different.  We can give you an included base, or you can pay for what you use.  Either way, we are happy to work with you.  The advantage to the plan is lower cost per page.  The advantage to no plan is if you take a month off, you aren’t paying for unused copies.

How are Copier Lease Payments Calculated?

The copier company uses something called the Lease Rate Factor to give you copier leasing prices.  What happens is you take the purchase price of the copier (say $10,000 to make the math easy…)  You multiply that number by the Lease Factor to come up with a monthly payment.  First we would ask, do you want to own the copier at the end or ship it back.  If you want to own it, we use the $1 Out Rates.  If you want to send the copier back, we use the FMV rates.

$1 Out Rates

FMV Rates

Now we would make the copier lease cost $10,001 to get the better rate than $9,999 – Say you wanted to own the copier at the end,  and wanted a 5 year lease –

$10,001 * $.0208 = $208.02

(Had we used $9,999 it would have been – $9999 * .0212 = $211.97

By charging $2 more, we can save you almost $250.  Sounds weird, but it is playing the game.

If you wanted to return the copier at the end, it would be about $185 per month.  $10,001 * .0185

When leasing a copier, these are the common questions.  If you have other questions about leasing a copier, we would love to help you out.

Most Popular Desktop Business Color Copiers – 8.5 X 14 Inch

Looking to get a fast letter/legal copiers

Start at desktop models, but can add trays and make any of these floor standing units.  As an editor’s note, we are only authorized on the Xerox models and provide industry data to help potential clients be informed.  If there is a non-Xerox you want, we do cooperate with dealers and connect you to someone authorized for that brand.  We are here to help you with transparent information and fair pricing on a color copier for your office!

Xerox Versalink C505 Copier

 

So here is the list, in order of the most popular 8.5 X 14 capable color copier for business use!  

Copier	Speed
Xerox VersaLink C405N	36
Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C356iF	35
HP LaserJet Enterprise Color MFP M577dn	40
Lexmark CX725de	50
Konica Minolta bizhub C3351	35
Lexmark CX522ade	35
HP Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M577c	40
Kyocera Mita ECOSYS M6635cidn	37
Lexmark CX622ade	40
HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E57540dn	40
Xerox VersaLink C605X	55
HP Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M681f	50
Ricoh MP C407SPF	40
Kyocera Mita TASKalfa 406ci	40
Xerox VersaLink C505/X	45
Ricoh Aficio MP C401SP	40

This one was not very close.  The gap between the #1 copier, the Xerox VersaLink C405N and the number 2 copier, the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C356iF was about 2 to 1.  So the Xerox Versalink C4o5 is by far the market leader in this class.  Now we are here to help you get the right copier, not just the most popular copier.

Here are some of the things to consider when purchasing a letter/legal color copier for your business.

The first thing to consider is the print costs, especially in this class.  If you were to go with the Xerox Versalink C405 and do 10,000 color page a month, you would pay roughly $400 per month just in print costs than if you went into the A3 copier class with something like a Xerox Altalink C8030 which is more expensive up front… but the $400 per month you would save in print costs would have the TCO at breakeven at about 15 months.  For those who plan to run their copier for 60 months or more, this matters.

However, if you are only printing 200 color pages a month, it becomes a no brainer to get a solid copier like the Xerox VersaLink C405N  or the Xerox VersaLink C505.  We work with you to help you determine which copier makes the most sense for your business.

Will I be happy with all of these?

The short answer is no.  Not because the brands are terrible or because the copiers other than the Xerox VersaLink C405N are lemons.  The idea is the copier performs as well as the servicing dealer helps it perform.  It is very likely most of the copiers, when purchased from a reputable dealer, will actually work just fine for you.  So our focus is not to say why the other brands won’t work – they probably will.  Our focus is to let you know why working with us is a good idea for your business.

Here are some benefits of working with us on your next copier:

• We can auto-ship toners and supplies so you don’t have to keep close track
• We have the copier auto report meter readings so you don’t have to send that in each month
• We work with your team to get scan to network and scan to email super simple – including things like scan to Dropbox, scan to Google Drive, Scan to One Drive.  We know the copier needs to connect to your network and to the Cloud.
• We answer our phones and we really want your business to have an easy time with the copiers.
• We avoid nickel and dime fees whenever possible, like automatic escalations, paperwork fee, toner shipping costs, etc.
• We are on your team.

So, yes, there are a lot of copiers in this class.  We can sell the Xerox copiers and help you find authorized partners if you just can’t buy a Xerox from us.  We are here to help you out.  We know these copiers can all work great, but we believe we will do an amazing job for your business and getting you something that works.

To help you not have to scroll to find the list again:

Most Popular Black and White 35 – 45 ppm 11X17 Copiers

                            Xerox Altalink B8045

Your company is searching for the best work-horse copier and you want to know what is out there in the market while you are doing your research.  There are a lot of units that are popular and that have sold more than 1000 units all the way up to more than 16,000 units in 2018 to 2019 (one year starting at the end of quarter 2, 2018).

According to data analytics firms we get out information from, here are the most popular models of Black and White 11X17 copiers in the market.  (Just to be clear, we only sell the Xerox brand, but we thought you might want to see it across all brands while you are doing your research.  There are dealers who sell the other brands we would be happy to connect you with, but we cannot sell the Ricoh, Kyocera, or Canon – for example.)

Without further delays, here is the list of the popular copiers you can lease in the market today:

 

Copier	Speed
Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4535i II	45
Ricoh MP 4055SP	40
Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4545i II	45
Konica Minolta bizhub 458e	45
Xerox AltaLink B8045	45
Konica Minolta bizhub 368e	36
Kyocera Mita TASKalfa 4002i	40
Xerox VersaLink B7035	35
Toshiba e-STUDIO 4518A	45
Toshiba e-STUDIO 4508A	45

Ricoh MP 3555SPF	35
Ricoh MP 3555SP	35
Sharp MX-M3570	35
HP LaserJet Managed Flow MFP E82540z	40

 

What this list of copiers should tell you is there are A LOT of players in the market.  It is also why when you are trying to get copier quotes, why the reps are so aggressive.  This is a brutally competitive market where most dealers can only sell one or two of the brands above.  So if a client is out getting a lot of quotes. it makes it very competitive.

Why are there so many copiers?

Copiers and paper is big business and many of the companies above are multi-billion dollar a year organizations.  To give you an idea of the size and scope of the market.  Now, we know you probably don’t really care about all that, you just want a solid copier that works.  So, how do you know which one is the best?

The biggest factor to consumer happiness and satisfaction is the copier company they choose, not the copier model.  What this means is when you get a new computer and you can’t figure out how to get the print driver loaded, you will get frustrated with the copier.  Most customers think their copier issues are the copier (it certainly can be and is possible that is true), but in the bigger picture, it is more the partner you choose.

For example, half or more of the copiers above can easily be purchased on Amazon or Staples or some other e-comm site.  The question then becomes, who will help set up?  When it jams a bunch in year three, who will help fix the copier.  When your scan to network isn’t working, who will help fix that?  When your toner runs low too fast, who addresses that issue?  There are all kinds of servicing items we work with our clients to ensure the copier they buy is one they are happy to own for years to come.

We would love to show you the offers we have for the Xerox copiers we sell in this class if you need a Black and White 11X17 copier!

Just as a reminder, here is the popularity list again.  The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4535i II sold nearly 10X the amount of units as the HP LaserJet Managed Flow MFP E82540z.   In this class, Canon is the unquestioned market share leader.  Fortunately for us, selling Xerox, these are the easiest devices to maintain and Xerox still does have 2 of the top 10 models in this particular class of products.

Most Popular 45 – 55 Page per Minute Color Copiers in the Market

Xerox Altalink Copier

Looking to Get a New Copier? 

45 to 55 Page per Minute – Current Market Trends:

When you are looking for a copier, sometimes it is nice to know what models sell fast in the marketplace.  We have gotten with some of the data analytics people in the copier industry and they helped us compose the most popular 45 – 55 page per minute A3 copiers in the marketplace today.  Now, it should be stated we are not authorized for all of these brands – we are only authorized to sell the Xerox line of copiers.

Here are the most popular in order of units sold (not revenue – we don’t know how much they all sold for…)

 

Make / Model	Speed
Ricoh MP C4504SP	45
Konica Minolta bizhub C458	45
Xerox AltaLink C8055	55
Xerox AltaLink C8045	45
Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i II	55
Konica Minolta bizhub C558	55
Xerox WorkCentre EC7856	55
Sharp MX-5070V	50
Toshiba e-STUDIO 4515AC	45
Kyocera TASKalfa 5052ci	50
Kyocera TASKalfa 6052ci	60

 

Now what is interesting is the top 5 copiers are more than double the number of units than the bottom of the group, and the gap between 1-5 and the last copier on the list here is almost 8 times the number of units sold.  Now we don’t sell the Ricoh MP C4504SP or the Konica Minolta bizhub C458 which are the two most popular copiers in the category.  However, we are able to sell #3, #4 and #7 in the category.  What we see is Xerox tends to spread their success to multiple models where Ricoh and Konica focus more on particular units.

Who cares about what the sticker says, if the copier does the job?

We kind of agree with the basic premise of this question.  Your satisfaction as a buyer will very likely not hinge on the fact you bought a Xerox AltaLink C8055 instead of a Konica Minolta bizhub C558.  Copiers have all come so far in recent years and are almost all high quality and easy to use.  The bigger issues center around ease of getting supplies, getting service, setting up the copier correctly and getting your staff trained.

We have talked to so many people who have bought a copier like the Toshiba e-STUDIO 4515AC and they think the copier is bad because they have trouble scanning to the correct folder on their network or the IP seems to change on the copier.  This is not a problem with the copier, this is a problem with the setup.  Had the copier been setup correctly, the client would have been happy with the Toshiba e-STUDIO 4515AC.

We believe your happiness with your copier has everything to do with us helping you set up your copier, fighting to get you the best pricing and then training your staff so they can use the features of their new copiers.  For example, the Xerox Altalink C8045 and the Xerox Altalink C8055 have all kinds of Apps to improve your productivity.

These apps include – Scan to Dropbox, Scan to One Drive, Scan to Google Drive, a redaction app for sensitive data, a test grading app for schools, scan to Quickbooks (for receipts and expenses), and all sorts of other productivity improvements.  See them all here.

Can you be happy with the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i II?  Absolutely!  How about the Ricoh MP C4504SP?  Same.  We may push the Xerox AltaLink C8055 in that scenario…  but ultimately, you can get away with any of these.  We believe the key to your happiness is our willingness and your openness to make sure the new copier you are planning to buy is getting fully utilized.  You would be amazed how often I ask people if they use their finisher (stapler) because I see one on their current copier and they say, “Oh, this staples?”

We would love to help your company get an amazing copier.  If you are looking at one of these copiers, please give us a call or fill out a form so we can get you a competitive quote on a Xerox we would sell!
