Evaluate Value

Performance Features and Ease of Use must be bal- anced against the total cost of owning and operating a networked printer over time.

Find the true purchase price. Include everything needed for a workgroup printer to begin printing right away. If extra-cost add-ons are needed, such as a network card or special cabling, then these costs must be added to the original purchase price.

Count the cost of operation. The total cost-per-print can be every bit as important as the purchase price. It is especially important to consider all the consumables the printer may require over its lifetime and to calculate the contribution each of these items makes to the average cost-per-page.

Estimate the cost of keeping the printer printing. Start with durability: Does the duty cycle indicate that the printer can handle a large volume of printing? And don’t forget the “hidden” costs — especially how often the printer needs attention from users and whether any special skills are required to change consumables or troubleshoot problems.
