Dear Customer,

We take the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) seriously and the health and safety of our customers and team members is a top priority, thus we have implemented enhanced health and safety measures to safeguard our team and our customers.

At present we remain available for service and will continue to reinforce these practices:

  • increase hand-washing frequency.
  • cleaning of all workspaces and high-touch surfaces at regular intervals.
  • minimising person-to-person contact by wearing gloves when handling customers’ equipment and supplies.
  • thoroughly sanitising all equipment upon receipt and return.
  • team members are asked to remain home if they have any sign of illness.
  • Public health is a shared responsibility and we are committed to doing our part to keep our communities safe.

We ask that customers exercise the same level of caution and diligence when it comes to personal health and hygiene so that we may all stay safe and healthy.

Tax Breaks – Printer / Copier Repairs and Consumables

We understand that many employers have asked staff to work from home for an extended period.

If you work from home, you can claim the equipment-related proportions of household costs such as:

  • Consumables (like printer ink/toners) and stationery;
  • Costs of repairing home office equipment, furniture and furnishings
  • Depreciation of office equipment and computers;

Small capital items such as furniture and computer and Printer / Scanner equipment costing less than $300 can be written off in full immediately (they don’t need to be depreciated).

Check the ATO website for more information and thank you for your support and cooperation as we deal with this unprecedented challenge.

Stay safe.

Choose the best printer for your home or office

Jul 04, 2017

The best printer will always be the printer that fits your budget and suits your needs. But with the increasing amount of new printer models being released into the market, it makes choosing more difficult for consumers. You have so much to consider aside from budget and brand preference – you need to take into account your printing needs and the capabilities offered by a particular printer. Your quest to choose the best printer is something that is worth putting reasonable effort into to make sure you maximise your office overheads in the long run.

Choosing the best printer either for personal and business use or at-home and in-office doesn’t have to be expensive. Any brand of printer you choose may work efficiently, but it depends on how you take care of it and if you use it appropriately. When choosing printers, you must focus first on the features to see if they fit your budget and needs. After you identify potential models for purchase, it is advisable to check the ink or toner prices for each in order to minimise running costs later on. This is one factor that a lot of consumers fail to account for when they determine which printer to buy. The focus tends to be on the actual cost of the printer rather than the long-term maintenance costs.

The cheapest printer or plotter may not be the best choice if you are looking for a long-term solution. Do not get too caught up with the pricing that you fail to consider the quality too. There should be a reasonable balance between pricing and performance, although, you should not sacrifice one for the other. When buying one of the more expensive wide format machines, a refurbished printer may be a good option, but first, ensure it is of good quality and condition and under warranty to account for any issues.

To buy the best printer for the demands of your workload, you need to estimate the amount of usage and volume of printing in advance.

Some relevant questions that you might consider are:

  • Are you the only one to use it?
  • How much is your expected output?
  • Will other people or co-workers also use the machine?
  • What is the volume of printing required per day?

Weighing up your requirements is important. If you need buying advice from experts such as Printer Repairs Sydney, then the answers to these questions will enable the customer representative to provide you with a selection of suitable machines to consider.

The need for speed and performance of the printer should be considered as well. If possible, you should know the appropriate engine speed, memory of the printer and processing power. As a guideline, a printer that can print less than 30 pages in a minute is slow. Most offices find that 30-50 pages in a minute are adequate, but for higher print volume operations, a printer that can print 40 pages per minute or above is a better choice. If you have no idea how to determine this when buying, you can always ask our team to provide you with this information. This knowledge will also be crucial for your use and maintenance later on. You want to use the printer according to its capacity; if not, then it could easily get damaged when it is over-worked.

Not to be forgotten is the warranty. You must ask for warranty and the availability of parts just in case the unit becomes defective in the future.

Remember, if you are planning to purchase a printer, the best printer is the printer that will fit your need and requirements!
