It's amazing what features and functionality are available in an under $12,000, copier/printer.

Following are some of the comparative numbers that we discovered in a recent evaluation of major entry-level copier machines.  Each comes with software to make features and functionality available to every PC on a local area network, as well as to more traditional walk-up users. 

We were finally persuaded by the Savin's $8,000 purchase price and good quality color copies for just $.06 each, but it was clear that any of these devices would have been a bargain compared to the costs that were already routinely being paid, particularly for color copies!

                                         Pages per minute   Price per page     Lease 
Model Type          Price       BW Color              BW      Color       3-Year  5-year
============  =======  ===  =========  =====  ======  ======  ======
Cannon-IR2880i    $11,000    28   26                 .0119   .109          222.00    156.00
Savin-C2525            $7,995    25   25                 .016     .06            235.00    159.00
Sharp-MX2300      $11,445    23   23                 .016     .085          294.00    200.00

These purchase and lease prices do not include 'extras' that include stapling, hold punching, envelope feeders and more.
