Does your business face occasional
spikes in required print capacity—but not frequently enough to
justify the expense of additional dedicated printer and copier units?
This can be a common difficulty for many businesses, especially those
with heavy seasonal demand. Fortunately, there are services out there
which can make life easier during those peak seasons.
The most straightforward option is to
simply rent a copier or printer on an ‘as needed’ basis. Many
office supply businesses do, in fact, offer short term copier rentals
of even the kind of high-capacity, full-color, multifunction copiers
that can help meet even a massive temporary spike in demand. This
sort of flies in the face of the traditional long-term lease model
that many office supply businesses like to push, but a copier
rental can make good financial sense in an age of increasingly
agile startups and small-to-mid-size businesses.
An equally important factor to consider
is that printer and copier failures are more likely when you’re
regularly pushing them close to their limits. If it sometimes seems
like these business-critical instruments fail most frequently when
they’re most desperately needed—it’s because they do.
Where do I Start?
In any city the size of Sacramento,
there are a lot of options for where to find reliable copiers and
printers. It can honestly be hard to pick. One place you might want
to consider is Buckmaster Office Solutions, which has been part of
the Sacramento community since before The Beatles struck their first
chord. That’s not hyperbole: they’ve been doing business since
1958.
In addition to long-term leasing,
Buckmaster has a full suite of copier rental options. If your
business needs an extra copier or multifunction printer for a day, a
week, or a month—you might consider looking into Buckmaster’s
selection.
They’ve got
options at just about every price point, ranging from basic
black-and-white copiers to state-of-the-art full-color digital
models. You’ll mostly find models in the Ricoh/Lanier family, which
is good news considering the sterling reputation they enjoy.
I
f your demand is a little bit greater,
or just a little more consistent, you might instead consider
investing in a couple of used
copiers on a more permanent basis. The expense can be
surprisingly low, and if you need the added capacity, it might end up
paying for itself?
