You would be surprised at how much owning a printer/copier could cost you. 

It’s not just for the machine itself, or the supplies that it takes to run efficiently. Buried beneath the surface are obscure, seemingly minuscule, costs that may catch you off guard if you’re not aware of them. 

Being in the printer industry for over 35 years has taught us a lot of things, but maybe the most noteworthy of them all is how much printing costs can accrue on a company’s annual budget. 

The number of configuration options and optional accessories you can choose for your printer has increased dramatically over the years.    

One of the main ways you can tailor your machine to match your printing requirements is by adding a print finisher.    

Being in the printer industry for over 35 years has taught us how important print finishers are in building your ideal machine. The thing is many people don’t know all of what print finishing options entail.    

What is a print finisher? How much do they cost? Should you include one with your machine?

There are a few notable documents that come with the purchase of a printer, and one of those will extensively lay out everything you need to know about your machine. 

It’s called the Customer Expectation and Installation Guide, and it is a crucial document to look over before delivery and installation day.     

What is the CEIG? Why is it important? Do I need to sign and send it back? 

These questions will be addressed in this blog, so you’re better informed on what role the CEIG plays in the pre-delivery process.
