Note:
Whenever I see a desktop copier in a business, I first shake my head and suggest a Konica office copier.
The normal responce is "thats to much money I can buy a desktop for $629.00 - shaking my head
I ask how much are the toners and how long do they last? normal response I get is a blank face and them telling me
the kid at officemax suggest this model and sold me a extra set of toners too - walking out spending 1,200.00.
I walk out of their office shaking my head.
P.S. I still get the toner sales every month from them using desktop machine - not shaking my head.......
Buying these desktop cheap machines
IS LIKE ME GIVING YOU A NEW MID RANGE CAR AND CHARGING 20.00 A GALLON FOR GAS
Hope this make sense if not call me

Please note, where using the HP color laserjet pro 477fdw for comparison in example.
All inexpensive desktop color copiers fall into this senerio with low cost machine but high operating cost.
Same goes with black and white desktop copiers - about the same cost in operating cost.
