Before you purchase a multifunction device (aka: a copier), it pays to look beneath the hood. You’ll want to know the MFD’s speed rating, duty cycle, supply costs, and available bells and whistles. This kind of information is provided by the manufacturers, so you won’t have to go far to find it.
In addition to the manufacturer's ratings, getting a more personal option from a real user can also be helpful. Working with a knowledgeable sales team can give you the perspective you need. The sales representatives at JD Young get feedback from our customers, and they are often end users themselves. By understanding what experienced people in the industry are saying about the product you are researching, you can make a more informed decision.
