I would recommend the Xerox Versalink C500

That would be wrong. He has a copier now and any office will always need that functionality.
I never buy anything that is not an MFP for a workgroup.

I wanted to ask the OP, since the OP mentions printing. But to your point if it is MFP the only remotely close to HP from Xerox and on the price range and pages per minute it will be the VersaLink C405

Oh yes, sorry, definitely MFP.
I guess I just assumed everyone needed that these days.
-
I don't need to stay in a price range, per se, either.
Almost anything is going to be significantly cheaper than what they are offering.
Per page costs (including maintenance) are hitting around
.013 for B&W and
.10 for color -
Last little bit of info, we average around 13000 B&W pages per month (split 11000 and 2000 on our two machines), and 2000 color.

Though ... we mainly print to the one big printer we had. We could also spread out 3 or 4 of the HP 500s around the office as well.

I would never add MORE printers.
If you add it, they will print it. So, just don't.

Get a single copier and replaces the old one.
Get rid of both the old ones if possible, but likely the users will balk at that and cuase management to not let that happen.

Oh yes.
The owner has already said (and stipulated to the people quoting) he wants a private one for his office.
It is a pretty far walk. I'll give them that.

Anyone out there ever use HP copiers?
Down to deciding between a Canon and a HP. Same specs, but the HP is about $2K cheaper than the Canon over the term.
HP is new to the copier market since 2016. They entered after buying the Samsung line.
Both machines would be under a service contract.
I've always been pretty happy with HP machines in general.
What would ML do?
-
HP has made the parts of the copiers, but not copiers themselves. So while new to the market, it's kind of a technicality.
-
The sales guy (take it for what it is worth) said they've replaced all the insides with HP technology, for the most part.

What did it use previously?

@brrabill said in Printing Costs:
Samsung, I guess.
Or whatever Samsung was using for the guts.
Samsung printing IP got purchased by HP and Xerox, HP wanted them to shutdown. (supplier told me)
I know this cause Xerox printers recently are 100% copy of Samsung.
I started with Samsung m2070w and for the price it was amaze balls. I go another one (Samsung Xpress C460W )that supports color , it was great too but used color like crazy.
Everythung you need from small printer, the menus of it was like of smartphone and the scan from network feature was so easy, any idiot can do it.
I know longer can get the 140$ samsung printer in my country, but I can get 200$ Xerox 3025 that is software compatible with the Samsung one even the cartridge swaps but due to software logic and checking it wont work.
So Samsung really wanted to do something major and cheap and reliable in the printing business.

Yeah and they will bring their home work and print it at work, anything they think to print of like personal stuff they would print it at work, I do this all the time and crank up the resolution and color quality ... gotta print like pro.
