The Total Cost of Ownership

Discovering the total cost of ownership of any given device is a key factor before making the final decision to purchase. The total cost of ownership of a device is the combined costs of the device, as well as the costs of supplies, maintenance, etc. This knowledge should be your first priority, as oftentimes less expensive machines can have a higher cost of ownership than some expensive machines, due to maintenance and supplies.

Another factor that this information should help you decide upon is the debate of lease vs. ownership. Determining whether or not you wish to purchase a machine or utilize a leasing option can save you money, depending upon the needs of your office. Leased equipment can be packaged with supply plans, and can accrue a very low cost per page when compared with purchasing equipment.

The total cost of ownership can drastically change your outlook on which device you are looking to purchase for your office. With costs per page, maintenance and other factors all factoring into your overall costs associated with purchasing a multifunction printing device, there is much to consider when making this decision.
