Pricing & Leasing

You’ve come to the end of your printer/copier lease and decided to upgrade your equipment, signaling the start of a new lease agreement.   

Because you’re working with the same vendor, you assume the previous billing process will remain the same.    

When the first invoice comes in for the monthly lease payment, you pay it the same as always, foregoing attention to the minute details of the invoice.   

What you missed during that passive look at your printer bill was that your leasing company changed, which means the address you’re supposed to send the payment to has changed, as well.     

So, the payment you sent in the mail was shipped to the old address instead of the new one, causing an unfortunate situation based on a minor mistake.    

Used….

It’s almost a derogatory term for some buyers and even sellers in the buying process. And it’s understandable why.     

Who used this before me? What kind of lifespan does this product have left? What did the company do to prepare this used product to sell? How have other customers fared with this used product?      

All these concerns are completely understood when it comes to buying a used product.   

Just like any industry that sells used products, the printing industry is no different in getting plenty of these same inquiries about used printers and all that encompass them.     

The truth is, buying a used printer comes with a good number of pros and an equal number of cons.  

Picture this: It’s a busy day at the law firm you work at, everyone’s rushing around trying to get work done, while you’re standing at the printer, waiting for your court transcripts to finish printing.  

Suddenly, the printer goes down, and a warning sign flashes on the screen. All those documents you needed to be printed are gone, as well the contracts, manuals, NDAs, and other papers that your coworkers needed to print too. The whole office essentially comes to a halt, and no one really knows what to do.  

Now for some organizations, this could be just a minor inconvenience. But for others, this can really affect the workplace and make it incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to get work done. Luckily, there’s a pretty easy solution for a problem like this: a backup printer.  

While it might seem like a minor inconvenience to some, constantly looking through apps just to find the same one that you use every day is a waste of valuable time that could be spent working. That’s why we’ve found one of the best solutions for organizations with multiple users assigned to print is personalized individual user accounts, made possible with Xerox ConnectKey Technology.

As a big organization, weighing out your different pricing options can be a big hassle, especially when it comes to something you might not be well-versed in, such as copiers and printers. You know you need them, but you’re not sure how to tell you’re gettingthe most out of your spending and receiving the most competitive prices possible.  

That’s where a bid comes in. Putting a bid out, or going out for a bid, is the most common way that big organizations like schools and local governments choose to view all of the different contract options available to them, from all the different vendors in their area. 

As a print vendor of Xerox devices ourselves, we are quite familiar with the bid process and have gained a lot of knowledge over the years on how to help companies receive the best prices possible for the right equipment they need, and we've compiled 5 of the major things
