Evaluate your budget
The price of a photocopier depends on different criteria. And at this price, you have to add the consumables one:
The paper
Ink cartridges: when it is used little, liquid ink tends to dry and it will change the cartridge. That is why it is often advisable to opt for a black and white photocopier, unless, of course, you have real needs in color printing
- Toner: this powdered toner costs more than cartridges, but it does not dry and has a long life
- The drum: it changes after a certain number of copies. Its replacement is often included in maintenance contracts
- Staples: some photocopiers can automatically staple the sheets at the end of the print run
