Okay, You're ready to start looking. As you look at various copiers, consider such key factors as copy quality, capacity, paper handling, reliability, speed, and productivity. Some manufacturers may promote one or more of these as characteristic of their products. Your best bet, however, is to invest in a copier that has all of them and more. Ask it is copies solid ink areas and line-work well, and if it offers quality adjustments such as Copy Contrast and Photo Mode.
Every copier is built to meet a specific demand.
You can find models built to make as few as 500-1,000 copies per month, while others are built to make over one million a month. Get the one made for the amount of copying you'll actually do. If you find your volume expanding and exceeding the copier's recommended usage level, trade up to the next level of copier. Better yet, anticipate growth and buy or lease accordingly to meet your needs for the future. Both save operator time, but the RDH has an edge because you don't need sorter bins to have collated document sets.
