Tabloid Sized Copiers

Before you let the sales representative talk you into buying a copier that prints 11 x 17 or 12 x 18-inch documents, check to make sure that you need it first. Like some of the other additional features of a copier, it will cost you more than necessary. For example, an 11 x 17 copier can cost you up to $3,000 more, and if you didn’t need the feature, why pay the extra? In many cases, a letter-size printer will get the job done. The professionals who might want to look at an 11 x 17 copier include:

• Graphic Designers
• Professional Photographers
• Business Owners Who Want to Create Posters

With an 11 x 17 copier, you do not have to shrink or compress a complex spreadsheet into a single sheet or tape tiled sheets together. Pricing for an 11 x 17 will vary, depending on the other features that you will want for your business. If you want to print bigger-than-letter-size documents, then you have to look at how much you will use it. If you plan to use it a lot, then it will be a great deal for your business, but if it will just cost extra, then find a better salesperson. Your average business owner will not need an 11 x 17 copier, but you have to look at your individual circumstances. If a sales representative just tries to throw it into your copier, you are dealing with a dishonest sales rep.
