First of all, you should be clear about your position. There are three types of copy shops: large, medium and small.
A large copy shop is what we often call a graphic fast printing shop, which is well-equipped and has a large business area.
Medium-sized copy shops are also well equipped, but the business area is small.
Small copy shops basically have no equipment, probably just a small and medium-sized copier and a computer. The business area is very small. They mainly undertake all kinds of chores, and then subcontract them to earn the difference.
Knowing your position makes it much easier to choose a copier.
Large graphic fast printing shops, of course, choose production-oriented high-speed copiers, and decide whether to buy brand-new equipment or second-hand equipment according to their own budgets. Take the black and white machine as an example. The price of brand-new production machines ranges from tens of thousands to millions, and the price of imported second-hand equipment ranges from 20 thousand to 100. Conditional can be brand-new, but most graphic fast printing shops are mainly second-hand. For example, Xerox Fengshen 4 1 12 series, Ricoh 1 107 series and Ke Mei 105 1 series. They are all relatively good equipment.
In some large and medium-sized cities, medium-sized graphic copy shops are now basically upgraded to the above production equipment, while in some small cities, high-speed copiers, such as Ricoh 600 1 series and Canon 6075 series, are used. Although it is high-speed equipment, the production capacity of these equipment is still insufficient. Not suitable for big batch print homework.
Then there is the equipment used by small copy shops, which are basically low-speed copiers. A small number of people choose a brand-new copier below 10 thousand yuan, usually about 20 copies per minute. The biggest disadvantage of slow printing speed is that the cost is relatively expensive, because it is generally original consumables, otherwise the merchant can refuse the warranty.
Most people still choose second-hand medium-speed photocopiers, about 40 copies per minute, and the price generally ranges from 5000 to 8000 yuan. Such as Ricoh, Ke Mei, Canon and Xerox.
Here I recommend a color digital composite machine with good cost performance to my friends, Ricoh MPC4000/5000 series. Forty or fifty sheets per minute, black and white at the same speed, and the effect of color printing is also very good. The cost is also cheap. Rich functions, network printing, color copying, printing, color scanning, fax, automatic double-sided and automatic document feeder. Multi-purpose, cost-effective. The price is around 6000 yuan.
Summary: There is no best equipment, only the equipment that suits you best. In addition, if you choose to buy second-hand equipment, the strength and service of the merchants are very important. Don't be greedy for temporary cheap, unstable equipment and no money. What's the use of cheap equipment?
