FACTORS TO CONSIDER BERORE BUYING A COPIER

Although the basic function of a copier is same whether it is digital copier or analog copier prices vary according to the add on features and benefits which we get while using digital copiers instead of analog copiers including higher quality copies. If you are interested in buying a copier which produces colored copies i.e. color copier or the one which whose copy count is considerably more than the normal copiers i.e. high volume copiers then you need to invest 20-30% more as comparison to normal copiers.

Color Copiers, Copier Prices

 These are the main factors due to which digital copiers are more expensive than the analog copiers. So the buyers before buying any copier must keep this reason in mind. The older analog copier takes considerable time to warm up. This thing should also be kept in mind while purchasing any copier. The reason for considering this fact is that if such type of copier is installed in any office and there it takes this much time to warm up then it creates a mess in the office.

On the other side there are many advantages of a digital copier. One of the most important features is that all the digital copiers are multifunctional. Hard copies of the original can be produced, electronic copies can be transferred to fax machines or even as text to an email address. Thus there is elimination of several steps at office level thus increasing the efficiency of the work at the office.

Because of these advantages of the digital copiers, many manufacturers have stopped producing analog copiers and are relying on new technology based copiers only. Thus replacement of any part of the analog copier is harder to find. This should also be considered while buying a new machine as you might find yourself in a difficult situation in this case.

The second you need to keep in mind is the paper holding capacity of the copier to hold sheets in its sheet holder, look for a copier with capacity of at least 250 sheets or more. A copier with an automatic document feeder with a holding capacity of 30 sheets or more is a nice option too.Copiers with less warm up time are suitable for homes or small businesses where most of the time they sit idle doing no job.

If your copier is involved with the cartridge system then the average number of copies that a particular cartridge will yield before it is changed will tell you when the unit needs to be replaced. Also a digital copier is more efficient than the analog copier, while analog copier first scans and then produces copies digital copier scans and stores it in its inbuilt memory and then prints as many copies as you want.

Regardless of whether you choose a digital or an analog copier a buyer should always do some background research on the specific product you are into. The best thing is to get second opinion. While taking second opinions you get to know various flaws and disadvantages of different used models, so you try to avoid the purchases of such models.

Scanning feature of digital copiers increases the quality of the final image. As the files are stored in digital format in digital copiers it becomes easy for the users to send emails and faxes using these copiers. While these operations can’t be done on the analog copiers they are just meant for producing black and white photocopies unlike the color copiers. Some digital photocopiers are sold at retail prices which are determined by the manufacturers. Also you can get a considerable discount the list prices of such digital copiers.

Fast scanning and emailing of your important documents gives you the control you need over paper. Scan and send multipage documents as portable document files for easy management and distribution.

There is an increasing trend for new photocopiers to take up digital technology, thus replacing the older one analog technology. With digital copying, the copier now consists of an integrated scanner and a laser printer. This design has many advantages, such as it automatically enhances image quality and scans images on its own. Some digital copiers can function as high-speed scanners and such models.

Many color photocopiers are popular today, like the Canon color copiers, along with various other makes in the market work very much like a computer scanner connected to a laser printer. The color copier first scans the original document and then the information is transferred to a charged image drum (main part of a photocopier). The color toner firstly gets stuck to the areas of the drum that are charged before it transfers it to paper.

Canon is one of the major electronic goods manufacturers all over the globe today.  This Japan base company has a large presence in a number of high technology sectors like cameras, photocopiers and computer printers.  Even though they are main manufacturers of photocopiers and other multifunctional devices, the firm started to manufacture high quality image capturing cameras also.

High volume photocopiers are basically used in those organizations which require more than 5000 to 25,000 copies per month. These are mostly employed by corporate where its usage is more. They take out nearly 20 copies per minute. Medium volume photocopiers are suitable for those corporate or businesses which require copies between 5000 to 25000 in a month. They have an average speed of 20 copies per minute.

Low volume photocopiers atmost make copies between 300 to 1000 copies per month. They work at a low speed of 10 copies per minute. These machines only fulfill the needs of an individual. At times low volume photocopiers were seen as the ones which can only fulfill any individual’s need but new ones are just surprisingly doing their jobs similar to any medium or high volume photocopiers.

The scanner part of the Digital photocopier is very reliable and the only weakness comes from the printing and feeding of originals. With the new technology of the photocopiers the consumer buying behavior is also changing accordingly.        Now consumers demand used photocopiers parts as the prices are rising high day by day. As the photocopiers technology has evolved so has reliability improved and service costs fallen but now that benefit of it has totally failed to be fully passed on to the consumer. Canon devices are more than just office photocopiers. Now the customers also search for the used photocopiers part, this shows how the buying trends of the customers have changed .

Turkey’s Inability to Produce High-tech Products Leads to Economic Loss

As reported by Hurriyet, due to high-technology products, Turkey is undergoing huge economic loss as the country has to import the technological products every year amounting to billions of dollars from foreign countries. The country pays an approximate of $7.8 billion annually to import high-tech products which are not manufactured in Turkey, the report from ISMMMO (Istanbul Chamber of Certified Public Accountants) specifies that such products are 18 in number. Over five years, the total amount paid to foreign countries amounts to almost $30 billion as per the report. The report also specified that the high-tech products which are imported from foreign countries includes medical imaging devices, optical instruments, printer and copier machines and consumer electronics like digital cameras and mobile phones. These products are imported from Eastern Asian countries. Laptops occupies the third place in the import list with the total amount of import being $4.4 million, components of informatics product lies at fourth place with total import cost of $2.6 million. Scanners, printers and copiers total to $1.4 million in import list. Watches sector also has a dominant share in import market with the cost being 1 million of the total amount. Arikan stated, commenting on the debate regarding domestic automobile production “Before discussing the automobile production at domestic level, we should have discussion regarding our economy wherein we are unable to produce motorboats, cameras, camera lenses, watches and blood pressure gauges”. Arikan maintained that Turkey is also able to produce technology, only the planning, investment, cooperation and specialization is required. By harnessing the technological revolution only, our country can be prosperous and socially stable”.

Color copy machine specifics

Color copy machine editing features

Standard features on digital color copiers include border erasing, image centering, color adjustment, and color balancing. Some models offer a whole menu of additional editing functions, such as colorizing, which lets you create color documents from black and white originals.

Although these advanced editing techniques can be impressive, they tend to be difficult and time-consuming to master. And, if your copier is set up as a network printer, you can do much more complex image manipulations using standard image editing software at your computer, then simply print the results. Basic editing functions are enough for most users.

If you do choose to invest in an editor, or a model that includes one, and set out to compare features across models, you may find the process frustrating. Most of these editing features are named differently from model to model, even though their functions may be the same. Ask a sales representative to demonstrate exactly how to use the editing features you want.
