Copier Reviews and Buying Guide:The Xerox WorkCentre XD100 ($550) was the leader in the desktop copier category creating 10 pages per minute (in black and white of course). It is a digital copier and can also be used as a laser printer when connected to a computer. Xerox is the most recognized name in copiers and they continue to produce quality copiers. HP is a near second with their line of color copiers (HP 160 and 260). They cost about $600 and can give you 8 quality color copies per minute. The Canon PC 400 is inexpensive at around $250 but it does a great job on black and white copies and is perfect for many of us that don't need 1000's of copies a day. Other top Xerox copiers include the Xerox CopyCentre C118 Laser Copier ($1499) with copies up to 18 cpm and 350 sheet paper capacity. The Xerox CopyCentre C20 Digital Copier is another great copier with up to 22 cpm and 2 sided printing for $1299.

Only get a color copier if it's essential to your business or home needs. Color copiers greatly increase the price per copy of everyday things you may only need a black and white copy of. Experts agree that digital copiers are better because they help reduce the price per copy and you get better duplicates, but analog copiers are cheaper and make sense for someone making copies a few times a day. There are machines that handle printing, scanning, faxing, copying and more, so keep that in mind if you need more than once fucntion. No need to have 2 machines when 1 can handle the job. Lastly, the price per copy issue is important if you plan on generating lots of copies. Some Xerox models have copies below $.04 while HP's were near $.09/copy.Copier Repair - Toner - SuppliesOne thing is for sure, you will need a reliable source for copier toner, copier supplies and a good service company to handle your repairs.

Choose from HP, Xerox, Sharp, Brother and many more top brands. The sales crew at Staples was knowledgeable and very helpful in answering questions. Have a general idea of what is important to you in terms of copies (black and white or color, double sided printing, etc) and it will be much easier to select the one that fits your needs since they all do many functions. One thing to keep in mind, if you buy an all in one unit, if 1 function needs repair, the whole machine is often rendered useless until it is fixed. This could cost you time and money, so perhaps having a copier, a printer and scanning as stand alone units is the right choice.
