Laser Printer Overload

And then there are quality concerns. Designing a nice brochure or newsletter and printing out an original on a quality laser printer, only to degrade it by running the job on a traditional copier, has, for many, been the trade-off between cost and quality.

Even new generation digital copiers, which are slightly more cost effective, can have similar costs to that of a good laser printer. According to Danka Office Imaging, costs usually range from 4¢ to 7.5¢ per page, with the average being about 6¢ based on a usage rate of 10,000 copies per month.
