The Difference Between Commercial-Grade and Store Bought Printers
Are you considering purchasing a Multifunctional printer for your workplace? A new Multifunctional printer is a long-term investment and can be an effective tool to help your business run more smoothly and efficiently. It is essential to research which printer you are going to purchase in order to determine what is the right fit for your company’s needs. Did you know that where you buy your printer from is also important? There is a large difference in the overall experience of buying a store-bought printer versus buying from a commercial company like American Lazer.

Now, we will discuss the key differences between commercial-grade and store-bought Multifunctional printers.
Service
Multifunctional printers are complex machines that need occasional maintenance, tune-ups, and repairs. If you buy an MFP from a store, you will need to either try to figure out repairs on your own or find a company and wait anytime from several days to several weeks for that company to fit you into their schedule. American Lazer’s Two to Four Hour Service Program ensures that one of our skilled team members will be at your office within two to four hours of your call to assist you. This will dramatically decrease downtime in your office and save the time that it would take to research and contact an external repair company. American Lazer will be at your service within half of a workday to service your machine, which they are guaranteed to know and understand.
Set Up
Setting up Multifunctional printers is complicated. If you buy from a store, you will have to figure out how to set up your MFP on your own, or find and hire an external company to do so. If you buy your MFP from American Lazer, we will deliver the equipment, set it up, and hook it up to print and scan. Scanning can be especially challenging to set up and if it is not done correctly, the machine can become damaged. Leave the hassle and confusion of setting up your new MFP to the professionals at American Lazer who know the machine inside and out.
Ease of Part Repairs and Part Replacements 
When you buy an MFP from a store, you need to order a whole new feeder for the printer when it is time for the feed roll to be replaced. If you buy from American Lazer, we can replace just the feed roll for you, which is more efficient and cost-effective. The same goes for other parts of the machine. With a store-bought machine, you will need to replace the whole document feeder if a gear breaks within the document feeder. If your machine is from American Lazer, we will be able to replace just the gear that is broken. Buying a machine from American Lazer ensures that the machine can be repaired and serviced efficiently and in a cost-saving manner.
Cost Effectiveness
The machines that you buy in stores are not designed for business use. Therefore, if you buy one, then it will cost more to run because it is not adept at higher volume printing. American Lazer will help you buy a machine that makes sense for you. We supply a variety of MFPs, from Multifunctional printers designed for low volume business use to those designed for high volume business use. Our team of experts will help you find an option that will be cost effective for your business needs.
