Indicators of copier speed include copies per minute (CPM), pages per minute (PPM), and copies per second (CPS). Copier speeds range from four to more than one hundred copies per minute. The most expensive, digitally connected, multifunctional machines can cost over £100,000, while the slowest devices start at roughly £700.
Copiers that cost more than a few thousand pounds can be purchased outright but are more frequently rented or leased. Photocopier leases normally last three to five years.

Despite the relatively low initial cost of Commercial printer, budgetary decisions must take into account the cost of consumables and maintenance. According to research, consumables and maintenance account for 40% to 45% of total cost of ownership, whereas manageability and reliability account for 55% to 60%.
3. How many copies and prints do you have?
It's always worthwhile to evaluate your existing consumption by performing a short print audit of the average monthly pages printed, the A4 or A3 requirements, the usage of black and white, and the usage of color. Consider your company's or personal office's potential expansion over the long run.
4. Should I use monochrome or color copiers?
Without a question, color is where the future is. Although it's clear that manufacturers want to promote color copiers since it boosts their margins on consumables, keep in mind that the best multi-function business peripherals offer both mono and color at the same time. If you don't require color right now but do in the future, you can also turn off the color on multi-function peripherals.
