All businesses, no matter where, no matter what size, no matter what industry, need a printer and a copier. Simply because all companies need to produce and duplicate documents, for their clients’ internal use, for their relations with government offices.

Of course, it’s clear that small businesses and the occasional home/office user, or the large corporation printer thousands of pages per day will not have the same needs. Not only has the cost of these machines greatly diminished, for a growing number of features: access to these simple and indispensable technologies has also been made even easier with such financing methods as leasing.

Many manufacturers of fax machines, copiers and printers - it’s more and more often the same machine actually - compete on the market, to meet different needs at different prices.
