How much does a copy machine cost?

Answer 1

Big, high capacity copiers for large offices can cost thousands of dollars. Models have advanced features of multi-sheet copying, collating, stapling and so on with a variety of paper supplies and enlargement - reduction facilities.

More modest copiers can be as little as $40 for an ink jet printer and scanner / copier. They have nowhere near the same speed or facilities as the big models but still do the same basic job that any other copier does.

Laser based copiers can be bought for less than £100 and tend to be faster than the ink jet types.

Mots of the small, personal copiers are also printers and scanners so work well in small offices and home study areas.

Answer 2

If the copy is part of your work then it should be at cost to the business. If you are doing private copying then talk with your supervisor or manager.

The actual cost to the company of making a copy depends on the type and size of the copier being used and on the terms of the service agreement or sales agreement the company has with the supplier of the copier.

Answer 3

It depends on what you want in your copier. You can buy an inexpensive one for home and small office for about $100. You can also buy million-dollar copiers, but those are the size of a car and will make three copies per second. You can buy a very nice, versatile machine for between $300 and $600 that'll print in color on both sides of the sheet, and that can also be used as a computer printer and a flatbed scanner.
