Are you in need of a small printer to conduct your basic office tasks?  

The Xerox B235, the all-in-one printer we will be reviewing today, could be a fit for you. But in order to know for sure, you need access to the right information. 

It can be difficult to find accurate information in the printer/copier industry, and too often, this lack of information leads to you, the consumer, purchasing a machine that is inadequate for your printing needs.  

This can directly lead to lost money and frustration as you are forced, once again, to look online for another printer.  

Our goal as a long-time print vendor is to close that information gap and give you the unbiased and honest information you need to make your next printer purchase yourself. 

When you’ve spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on purchasing a new printer/copier, you want it to last a long time.   

A lot of times, though, consumers take their printers for granted; many people think of a printer as a basic functional machine that doesn’t require much care or maintenance. 

This thought process can actually get you in trouble, though. Believe it or not, printers are complex machines that can be costly to upkeep if you don’t follow sustainable best practices. 

What are the best practices for maintaining your printer?  

That is the question we will use our almost four decades as a printer/copier company to answer in this blog. 

Learning these tips will help you become proactive with your printer so that the machine you spent good money on will last for the amount of time you expected it to.  

So, you’re in the market for a new basic printer, which beckons the question: “Does it really matter which one I get?” 

When you’re talking about a simple, print-only machine, you’re not going to be paying much money for it. 

For example, the Xerox B230, which we will be reviewing today, starts at around $210. For most people, that will not be a heavy cost to endure. 

So, if cost is not a significant factor, then what is? Why should you care what brand of machine you get when the cost is more or less the same? 

If you’re like most businesses, you want to get the most efficient office equipment possible to speed up your daily operations. Furthermore, you want to get a machine that can safely handle the amount you need to use it. 

Forgoing these crucial details could result in wasting money on an inadequate machine, which adds more stress to your day than you needed.  

What should you look for in a basic office printer? 

If you’re looking at a machine that will sufficiently perform only the basic functions of a printer, you’re not going to be paying a lot of money for it. 

For example, the machine we will be covering today, the Xerox B225 multifunction (print, copy, scan, fax) printer, starts at around $300. 

That is a price that most companies can afford. But we’ve learned over our almost four decades in the printer/copier industry that buying a machine just because the cost is cheap can bring serious consequences. 

If you purchase a printer that can’t adequately sustain how much you print in a month, you will open yourself up to service issues and eventually a complete breakdown of the machine.  

For most people, making any kind of major purchase is a stressful process. 

Buying your next printer/copier is no different; advanced printers can run into the thousands of dollars, which means getting the right machine the first time is imperative.  

Unfortunately, it can be tough to find access to accurate and unbiased information to make an informed purchase. We aim to change that. 

As a vendor that has sold office machines for almost 40 years, we’ve seen how crucial it is for buyers to be informed before deciding which printer is best for their workplace.  

To that end, we will be using our expertise with Xerox machines (the products we sell) to give you a comprehensive review of one of their machines, the Xerox VersaLink C7030, so you can feel confident in making an informed decision on whether it’s the right one for you.
