Re: printers v. copiers

I've done the arithmetic here. We have a big copier, color and black and =
white, a few medium size color laser printers and many black and white =
laser and color ink jets.

The copier is the most expensive. It is under a lease contract that is =
set up so that we only pay extra if we go over the contracted number of =
copies. It is still the most expensive way to reproduce things. From =
there it goes down just like you would expect, color ink jet, color laser =
and black and white laser.

I'm currently in the process of evaluating our printing strategy as well.
Doing a lot of research into the feasibility of phasing out shared color
printers and transitioning to color multifunction printers/devices. The
MFP's present the possibility of much savings; as opposed to have multiple
printers scattered around the school.
