I really love this all in one Digital Color Copier. The reason why, is that it produces awesome 8-bit color which rivals offset print quality! 8-bit color means this machine will render any one of 256 available shades of color rage upon one single pixel. Whereas its comparable competing machines by Canon, Ricoh, Xerox and Gestetner are for the most part, still imaging in 4-bit or 16 gradations. Bizhub also is built like a tank and has superb options for booklet making, etc. But the Bizhub C250 comes out of the box with more included features than any other copier you'll buy. The base model includes networking, duplex ADF, and a internal hard drive.

Office Machines and whether to Repair or Replace?
First Consideration: If your current machine is broken, is it worth getting fixed? Ans: Usually machines are repairable, and i can do any general repair for $75 flat rate plus cost of parts. It's your call, but this option always saves you on the higher cost of buying another machine. My rate for repairs are the best around, I think.
Second Consideration:If your machine is obsolete, slow or you just want to get the latest and greatest? Ans: Yes. The time will come to upgrade and replace the old model printer or copier with a current model and compelling benefits will come to mind. Benefits such as, newer models have newer functions, are often faster, print or copier cleaner, new machines come with new and advanced features add user-friendly presets to accomplish programmable jobs -- and a new machine is not prone to have technical problems or break down anytime soon. While all these reasons are true and give one the motive for ditching the old machine and investing in a new machine, one must fall into the warehouse stationery store mentality of buying cheap low-end table-top machines designed to drain you on ink costs. let me explain.
Third Consideration: The choice to buy the right machine or the least expensive machine. Ans: Before you assume I'm trying to guide you into investing in one of my high-end machines so as to make money off you -- please consider one fact first; that I make more margin selling those little ink and toner cartridges for use in the smaller ink and laser jet machines, than i make in profit on toner for the larger machines. This is a little known fact among consumers, about buying small-scale printers, copiers and inkjet machines at the local stationery store for under $200-$300 range. You don't invest much for the machine, but the "You get what you pay for" law applies very predictably to low-end office machines.
Final Consideration: Spend low on a cheap machine, pay high on ink. Or Invest on High-end machine, save big on toner? Ans: This is just the way the industry works. You could easily spend 4x's the cost per each page when you print with an inkjet printer, than if you instead printed the same document using a higher quality color laser printer. Another example: Studies show that inkjet printers last about 1-2 years before they break. They are not repairable unless the printhead is replaceable. Larger machines are repairable, and can even be serviced by yourself if only a user maintenance is called for. But the big advantage when investing in that higher end machine, is that your lifetime cost of ownership is much less since the bulk of your expenditure is the recurring cost of toner and ink supplies. But then it isn't common knowledge to be able to calculate the cost per page based upon page yield of a cartridge, given a known average page coverage? Otherwise, most consumers would make the smart buy. The best buy.
