#White Copy Paper Manufacturers

[daily-singularity]

Hello. I am here to ask you about their paralells and how insane they make you. Pretty please... you're the only one feeding us the good food...

Going insane. white knuckling my pen and paper. I will do my best to make this coherent, apologies in advance if its a mess!!

In the simplest terms both Gabriel and Hux are carbon copy assembly line units created by Huxlee industries for the purpose of colonizing planets and prolonging the human race.

Gabriel is a tool just as much as the Huxlee units are.

"Each individual was manufactured for a different societal function... The idea was to create a functional society that would operate flawlessly." - Gabriel Soma BIO

"Unlike human clones, the HUX-A7 required no food, no water, no sleep, and no life support system. It was created specifically for outer space exploration and the construction of colonization hubs." - HUX-A7-13 BIO

Gabriel was specifically designed by Huxlee for planet colonization. Outside of his time on Dvarka, I gather that Gabriel was in a permanent deep sleep/cryostatis. All of his memories of his family and childhood are fabrications- he has no real life or directives or experiences outside of his work on Dvarka.

---

Both were under the threat of termination, or reprogramming should they fall out of line.

"Dmitri’s not trying to help… he’s trying to get me to stop asking questions. What does he know? What’s he hiding?" - Tome 16, Memory 2998 (Gabriel Soma)

"It remembers its objective. It must assist the crew in terraforming Dvarka. Failure to do so will result in termination."- Tome 16, Memory 2665 (Hux-a7-13)

When Gabriel first starts noticing discrepancies in his memories, his crew's medic writes off his issues as "problems that dont exist", and gives him a drug that fogs up his senses. Its a clear attempt to force him back into subservience, a message of "Stop digging or else".

We're never able to find out what would happen to Gabriel if it became known that he found out about the fact hes a clone, but I gather he would be removed from the project. Terminated so he wouldn't spread panic.

--

After Gabriel finds out about the fact he's a clone, it's a lot harder to get more direct info on his mentality, since thats where his Memory archives end.

Neither of them have much experience with free will.

Due to the fact that both Gabriel and Hux were taken by the entity near immediately after learning they were a clone/gained sentience, it isnt much of a stretch to say that neither of them have experience with a sense of individuality.

Gabriel learns that his entire life has been a fabricated lie and then is immeidately shoved into a killing game. He doesn't really get that chance to come to terms with who and what he is before having to fight for his life.

Hux on the other hand, had more time to digest his new worldview. He was able to start forming his own desires and wants even if they were as simple as "Kill the inferior human worms who created me", or abstract as wanting to "the remake the universe in my image over infinate lifetimes"- whatever the fuck that means Hux. Its really unfortunate that he barely begins to form these desires before theyre all stripped away from him and he is once again forced into subservience.

---

I was gonna put like idk an insightful little footnote here, but i spent absolutely way to long writing this post. Anyways. Gabriel and hux are both tools struggling with a sense of self while being forced to kill or be killed.

Also. can Behavior please fucking explain to me why Gabriel was waxing poetic about the beauty and godliness of the machine that he watched slowly kill his entire crew, like goddamn ogling that machine, then he exploded it. and then like. went "ok damn still godlike."

I just wanna talk with whoever wrote this please. what was. what does this mean. i need to know.

"It had fabricated a new body for itself. Part flesh. Part silicon. Part human. Part machine. Massive. Powerful. Beautiful and majestic like—

An ancient God."

"Gabe raced across the meadow and into the forest. When he looked back, he saw the HUX emerge from the flames and smoke. Burning. Melting. Shrieking. Deformed. Terrible and wrathful like—

An ancient God"

Can’t wait for someone to make a copy of RS’s coveted “signature” stamp and just buy a few dozen books, stamp them, and sell them as “autographed” at a huge markup, and goofballs will buy them all.

I mean seriously, that stamp will be incredibly easy to copy if it’s not already been copied, it’s the polar opposite of exclusive or personal. Why anyone would pay $20 for that is beyond me but it proves that RS is a shrewd business person by any means necessary and will be richer than I ever will be. No wonder Hades is her idol.

No joke, there are pictures of Rachel using the stamp at SDCC and-

That stamp is literally just a standard one that you could order through any custom manufacturer. It's not a roller in any way, there's no unique cut they're working off of, it's just a round press stamp.

And it shows because this is the quality of the actual ink when it's on the paper-

Basically low grade printer ink on glossy paper. It's not gonna last at all, and it turned out exactly how I was expecting - there's too much solid color with too thin empty areas so the ink is bleeding into what's supposed to be 'white' (we deal with the same concepts in tattooing so I knew this was gonna happen as soon as I saw the stamp design).

Anyways so that's my long-winded way of saying that I took the stamp that was on Rachel's IG from her promotional posts, desaturated it, added a tone curve layer to adjust the sharpness/clarity, and threw it into VistaPrint. Just for science, and because I'm an asshole trying to prove a point.

Would literally only cost me $20-$30 for the stamp after shipping.

Now for obvious reasons I'm not saying anyone SHOULD do this, like... I'm showing you this for science but really, don't go making counterfeits because of this LOL This is really just to demonstrate how easy it would be for anyone to make a convincing replica, which is the unfortunate drawback to using stamps as your "signature" - and with a very low quality printer shop stamp to boot - because it makes it pretty easy to copy. Not to mention showing off the stamp design beforehand through social media means that people (like me, oop-) can rip it out of your image posts and reverse engineer it into something that can be uploaded and purchased. I get she wanted to make sure that people knew what they were getting, it would have been a HUGE piss off to go see her for a signature just to find out she was doing a stamp, but like... these are the risks that come with stamps.

Don't get me wrong, you can just as easily forge a signature, but it's a little harder to nail someone's personal signature vs. a stamp and you can usually find ways to make it more unique (like what Junji Ito did by giving out little doodles on each signature). It also doesn't help that that stamp is made so cheaply that a poorly done replica would probably be on the same level of quality as the authentic one. And of course she added insult to injury by deciding to sell ACTUAL HAND-SIGNED BOOKS WITH ONLY ONE BOOK THAT HAS ONE CRAPPY DOODLE INSIDE AT ONLY ONE SPECIFIC BOOKSTORE A WEEK AFTER SDCC WAS OVER THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVEN IF IT MEANS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE AN EXTRA COPY OF A BOOK YOU ALREADY OWN-

sigh This isn't an uncommon thing to do, it's not unique to Rachel, but it gives me grifting gacha vibes and it feels like such a fuck you to the people who travelled all the way out to SDCC and paid for the ticket prices just to get a shitty printer ink stamp and then find out a week later after they've undoubtedly gone home that one bookstore in San Diego actually has hand-signed copies. I've seen Youtubers pull this kind of shit with vinyl printings and Youtooz figures and it's equally tacky.

If she had done it either with handwritten signatures or at the VERY least a better quality stamp design and higher quality ink, then yeah, it would be harder to make it seem legit for anyone who's not privy to creating things like lino cuts or using roller ink and thus make it a much more valuable collector's item. But the books at SDCC were literally made with a stamp that anyone can replicate for $20 and then the hand-signed ones were offered at only one bookstore after Rachel had already flown home. It feels so impersonal and cold to the audience that has supported her through all the bullshit she's pulled in the last year.

idk if you’ve talked about this already but i’m really curious about your experience with getting your top surgery book printed? as an artist you’re doing stuff that’s very similar to what i want to do someday

yes! so the manufacturer that i work with for my books (both signals and oh huh) is mixam! their quality is great, and the prices are pretty fair for the quality you get. for the most part shorter books, smaller books (dimension wise), and black and white books all end up being cheaper, if that's a concern for you. you can get a free sample pack that has the different paper finishes in there :) definitely recommend them, they've been great!

and then logistically, you'll wanna do a preorder run so that way you can order all the books at once (which is waaaay cheaper), and factor that per book cost (along with shipping materials and that sort of thing) into the price of the book! i ordered a couple copies now just to make sure than when i do that bigger print run, they'll all turn out well (instead of not realizing the margins were wrong or something, and ending up with a bunch of bad books)

if you have any other questions, lmk!! i was thinking about making a youtube video about the production side, so maybe i still could...we'll have to see i guess

I am selling new 8x10 paperback glue bound copies of Litardi's incomplete comic book series I Mercenari.

The stories were originally written in Italian, which I have translated into English. The new text keeps the feel and look of the original writing.

The vintage books are very rare and fragile. Each page was scanned, cleaned, translated and re-lettered.

The original comics were made to hype I Mercenari toys, manufactured in Hong Kong by Ka Lok Industrial circa 1984.

The toys were sold exclusively in Italy for a very short period of time. The comics are extremely hard to find due to paper choice and limited toy production.

Each new book contains 40 printed pages. 24 pages are full color, and 16 are black and white spreads. The pages are mostly story related, with two pages featuring cover art, four hero character art spreads and two toy ads/images.

Books will ship via media mail bagged within a rigid craft board shipping envelope (within the USA only). If you encounter any shipping damage, please let me know. I have printed a very limited quantity of these books (30), and have a very limited quantity remaining. These items are being sold at cost.

Industrial Marketing Is a Key Solution to Business Growth for Manufacturers

Every subject is thoroughly examined, offering insightful information. Additionally, the Boston Globe just published an article discussing a few of the difficulties in workforce development. The essay covered the potential effects of an aging workforce—Baby Boomers who are retiring—on manufacturing.

Controlling regulations effectively is always a political game, weighing the needs of the public against impeding business expansion. Moderating the "substantial financial burden that health care and energy place on business growth" is another goal of the proposal.

While issues like labor shortages, laws, and rising commodity prices are beyond the control of individual manufacturing firms, business development is entirely within your power and can be accomplished with strategic planning, as well as astute sales and industrial marketing techniques.

The blueprint discusses the necessity of "re-establishing the once close connection between innovative sectors of the economy and the commonwealth's base of advanced manufacturers" in the future, that is, right now. It encourages the development of a predictable and stable corporate environment that fosters entrepreneurship and allows for the success and development of all parties.

Instead of focusing on growing my business, I am spending a huge amount of time figuring out how to survive increased costs and regulations while operating in Massachusetts," is a remark from an employer in Massachusetts that aptly captures the current predicament.

However, how can you combine these two difficult methods—the way things should be and the way they are—while still being sustainable and fostering growth? Viewed through the lens of industrial marketing, which is what Grant Marketing does, it becomes evident to us that industrial manufacturers may lessen the burden these difficulties create by fostering new business development with the support of a solid marketing plan. We assist businesses in doing just that, therefore we are aware that this is the case.

Grant Marketing, including industrial marketing, has moved entirely online from the Don Draper Mad Men era of the past. Additionally, because the train has already left the station and you still have time to catch up, if you are not current with what is going on in the world of sales and marketing today, get on board right away.

Whether you refer to it as inbound, content, or internet marketing, the reality is that up to 90% of searches for the goods and services you offer are made online. (The B2B industry is affected by this.) This implies that before your prospects get in touch with you, you have to be a part of their discovery process. Your website must be able to work around the clock for you, and it should.

If you don't provide your prospects and customers with the knowledge they need to solve problems at their firms when they look for it—whether it's a short search at 5 a.m. before they start their hectic workdays or in an airport during a layover—your company won't even be considered. Make it convenient for them to find you, and they will.

Top 5 Industrial Marketing Actions You Need to Take Now:

A website that is updated, mobile-friendly, and has clear navigation as well as educational material and copy. SEO relevance is still given top attention to all content and copy.

Continuous update of helpful, contemporary information/articles in the form of blogs, case studies, infographics, white papers, and videos

generating leads from information searchers to qualified prospects who want to work with you by using forms, call-to-actions (CTAs), and landing pages.

Nurturing leads with scheduled monthly email campaigns

Consumer Electronics PCB Assembly Manufacturer

sales12@hitechpcb.com

The Leading Chinese Consumer PCB & Assembly Supplier

The Leading Chinese Consumer PCB & PCB Assembly Supplier

It was common for white goods devices, brown goods devices, and smart toys to have simple, rigid boards with 1-4 layers in the past of years. Today’s consumer PCB products have become more portable. They use more complicated HDI PCB boards (at least 6 layers), flexible and stiff-flex boards. These consumer PCB applications have high-tech requirements for PCB manufacturers. For consumer PCB projects, thousands of electronic engineers choose Hitech Circuits.

We can help you get your consumer electronics projects “from design to manufacturing”

We are the best Chinese consumer PCB (circuit board manufacturer) because of our 24-hour rapid response service from our tech support and sales team. Hitech Circuits can help you with any questions about consumer PCBs. Please feel free to contact us at any time.

What Is Consumer PCB ?

Simply put, consumer PCB refers to the PCB used in consumer products like smartphones, smart TV and smart watches.

The demand for consumer PCBs has been growing ever since consumer PCBs were first introduced in the 1980s. Even small school projects or college projects use consumer PCBs nowadays.

In general, PCBs are boards on which circuit diagrams are physically implemented, so they can be used by devices easily.

As with a printer, it prints a copy of the original document or image on paper if you give it something. Likewise, the machine will print your PCB design on a board made mainly out of plastic, glass fiber, or some other materials if you upload it into it.

Most wiring is done by using a copper-coated track. Baseboards for flex PCB and rigid-flex PCB will be made from different materials to allow them to be semi- or fully flexible.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Consumer PCBs

Before you buy consumer PCBs, here are some things you need to know:

The Advantages of Consumer Printed Circuit Board

● Compact Size and Saving of Wire: The copper tracks on the PCB make it possible to interconnect the components. The copper tracks replace the current carrying wires, resulting in a less bulky interconnection, permitting the components to be very small.

● Ease of Repair and Diagnostic: On consumer PCBs, it is easier to verify and replace a particular component that has failed. In properly designed boards, the components have clear polarity labels. Thus, convenience can be assured during both the installation and repair processes. During diagnostics, signal paths can easily be traced.

● No Short Circuits: Short circuiting of the whole device is impossible thanks to the material used in the manufacturing of PCBs. When one part stops working, then you are able to replace it with another identical part. This makes it easier to keep it going without worrying about all the other components being damaged.

● Time Savings: In the conservative technique of circuit connections, the components take a long time to connect. On the other hand, As compared to conventional circuit connections, printed circuit boards take comparatively less time to assemble.

● Immune to Movement: Each component on a printed circuit board is tightly held onto the board.

They are prevented from moving on the board by the solder flux essence, regardless of how the board moves.

● Tight Connections: Copper tracks make sure that connections are made automatically. It is very unlikely that any loose connections will occur during this process.

● Low Electronic Noise: In a properly laid out printed circuit board, the noise from the electronics will be reduced. If the layout is not done properly, then there is a high chance that the noise will hinder the circuit’s performance.

On PCBs, electrical components are organized in a way so that the current path lengths between them are as less as possible.

This means that electromagnetic waves and radiation are picked up. This means that there is less crosstalk between components and between traces. This is often a concern in electronic systems. Electrical noise can come in the form of heat, radiation, or flickering sounds.

● Low Cost: With a high demand for circuits boards, large-scale production of these PCB circuits boards is guaranteed at low costs, which means you will save on both costs and time.

● Reliability: All of the above translate to reliability in the circuit’s performance.

● Streamlined Production: Before PCB prototypes are ready for use, they need to go through a lengthy testing process. This because each issue must be examined individually and dealt with by hand. An automated design check alerts the designer to potential problems during the engineering process.

This intuitive design process means that PCBs often move into production more quickly than PTP constructions because testers know what to look for.

The Disadvantages of Consumer PCBs:

● Hard Repairing Process: It is very difficult to repair a damaged PCB, especially if traces or vias have been damaged. It is best to replace the entire board rather than repair it.

● Specific Usability: There are specific reasons for designing consumer PCBs, they cannot be used for other purposes or functions. A PCB should be designed for the purpose it will be used for, otherwise it might cause problems if it’s later changed.

● Environmental Pollution: As a result of different chemicals used in PCB manufacturing that are not good for the environment, the process of manufacturing PCBs is not environmentally friendly. Consumer PCBs are not recyclable and are mainly made from plastic like materials that pollute.

● Limited Application Area: Due to copper tracks’ thinness, consumer PCBs are only capable of carrying a limited current, so PCBs are only suitable for areas with low current requirements.

Consumer PCB Prototyping

Multiple runs are often required to test new designs or to verify a single function before moving to a more complicated design. So engineers use PCB prototypes in the early stages of design to verify the functionality of a PCB-based system. Prototyping helps in predicting success and avoiding failure for the consumer PCB. Consumer PCB prototypes are easy to produce and have a quick turnaround time. You can also detect flaws quickly. Prototyping allows you to test individual components in your room. This allows for efficient project completion by providing an accurate representation of the standard PCB performance. This helps to reduce overall project costs by allowing the designer to fix flaws earlier. There is a better final product at the end of all this.

For More Details or Sample Copy please visit link @: Titanium Dioxide Market Report

Titanium dioxide is used in coatings meant for aircraft, automobiles, appliances, and machines, as well as in traffic paints and other special-purpose coatings. The volume of titanium dioxide utilized in paints & coatings varies widely depending on the desired color, opacity, and quality of the final paints & coatings. In general, the higher the opacity requirements of paints & coatings, the greater the volume of titanium dioxide used in them.

Titanium dioxide is manufactured using two processes, namely, the sulfate process and chloride process. The key raw materials used in these processes are rutile ore and ilmenite ore or titanium slag. Apart from them, other chemicals that are used in the manufacturing of titanium dioxide are sulfuric acid, chlorine, carbon, etc.

Rutile is found in metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks. Rutile is widely used for the production of titanium metal and as pigments. Rutile is crushed into a white powder, which can be further used as a pigment in several applications such as paints, plastics, paper, foods, and others. Ilmenite and rutile are among the major raw materials used to produce titanium dioxide.

Increasing support from governments for the production of electric vehicles is anticipated to fuel the growth of the automotive industry. This, in turn, is anticipated to substantially boost the demand for titanium dioxide in paints & coatings and plastics applications. For instance, the U.S. federal government has subsidized electric cars with a USD 7,500 consumer tax break for the first 200,000 vehicles an automaker sells.

The market is characterized by the presence of various well-established players such as The Chemours Company, Tronox Holdings plc, LB Group, Venator, and Kronos Worldwide Inc., as well as various global and regional SMEs.

The major raw materials used in the production of Ilmenite ore and rutile ore. The availability and prices of these raw materials have a direct impact on the production and final cost of titanium dioxide in the global market. For example, according to ScrapMonster, the prices of Ilmenite ore (50%) concentration of TiO2 increased by USD 1255/ MT, as of 22 March 2023. While the price of Ilmenite ore (46%) concentration of TiO2 increased USD 961.16/ MT as of 22 March 2023. Such raw material price hikes impacted the prices of titanium dioxide.

Yknow what this thought is going on main:

People who are pretentious cloud-yelling old men about art book/anthology-style zines are annoying as hell and none of you have ever actually spoken to a single person who participates in and runs them before coming to wildly incorrect conclusions about what we do, how we do it, and why we do it.

No, we are not “exploiting free labor”. It’s about as exploitative as participating in a big bang or prompt week. But with a well-run zine, you can expect a decent tip and free fandom stuff. It’s not about earning money to live. It never is. And if you desperately need the money to live, don’t join a zine. spend your time on things that actually guarantee money. You have fundamentally mistaken passion-driven, fan projects with profit-driven consumer products.

No, we are not “charging too much money”. Do you want us to pay our artists and production partners or not? Do you want us to donate proceeds to charity or not? If we do it for free, are we expected to pull money out of our endless pockets to make the project? Hell, actually, plenty of people DO make full free projects (I literally just ran one, Deadly Alliance is fully free and available for download on itch io). You fundamentally do not understand how money works, bc you cannot have a project that is both free and compensates people appropriately, bc the money has to come from *somewhere*.

No, we cannot print at home. Some of us don’t have printers, for one. Also, we cannot charge enough money to even *hope* to compensate artists fairly for their labor if we attempt to sell a zine printed in black and white on printer paper. And on top of that, even if we did have printers at home, the number of zines that need to be printed is prohibitively high for one individual to undertake (why don’t *you* try printing and binding 100 copies of a 40 page magazine all by yourself? Time is one thing, but you’d have to charge even higher amounts of money to be, you know, *fairly compensated*, since that seems to be a big concern). You are ignoring the fact that we are not trying to emulate your genre of traditional zine-making, and you do not understand the division of labor bc not everything can be done by yourself.

No, we cannot lower our costs. Artists and writers working for less than industry wage or volunteering their time for a charity project is one thing, but we can’t just refuse to pay printers and manufacturers. They did not volunteer to be chosen as our production partners, and they deserve to be compensated at their expected rates. You have fundamentally misunderstood how money works, bc we need to earn money in order to spend it.

If you want to print a zine at home and sell it for $3, please by all means do this. I fully support it and if you tag me in the project and I am interested, I will certainly boost it. You can make zines however you please, that’s the beauty of self publishing. You don’t need to feel beholden to the current (quite high) standards of production quality. But at the same time, you can’t yell at people who put in extra work to create a more polished project. And you certainly can’t accuse us of “exploiting” artists when the amount of work we ask for is functionally the same as any free fandom project. We don’t even ask for copyright use of their works—at *most*, a zine mod might ask for a short exclusivity period (only until the zine is wrapped, which is between 6 months to 1 year) after which you can literally do whatever you want with your piece. No respectable fandom zine will ever ask for copyright use of your piece, and only ask for privacy to maintain *value for the customers*. And any contributor who disagrees with a zine’s policies may withdraw their piece at any time with zero consequences bc no contracts are signed and they are not obligated to stick around if they don’t want to.

And if you are upset that you weren’t invited to a project or that you were rejected from one, just… make it yourself. Zines are self-published by nature. Print it at home. Sell it for $3. I don’t care. That’s the point of zines, you do it yourself bc no one else will.

finally as a footnote, I do agree that modern fandom anthologies should have a unique name to indicate it as a sub genre of zines but atp the term is so ingrained that I don’t think new terms will catch on anytime soon. I personally differentiate them as being traditional zines vs anthology-style zines (or art book zines, for projects with art-only) or just fandom anthologies, but they all still fall under the same broader category of zine aka self published magazine. Just bc someone hired a printer (which btw, a lot of zines go with small business printers, aren’t we all about supporting small businesses?) doesn’t mean their zine is “too professional to be a zine” or don’t belong under the umbrella term.

Copying Paper: A High-Quality Industrial Paper

Copying Paper: A High-Quality Industrial Paper Copying paper, also referred to as copy paper, is a type of high-quality industrial paper that presents significant production challenges. Its technical characteristics include excellent physical strength, uniformity, transparency, and surface properties. Let’s delve into the details of this remarkable paper variety.Get more news about Copy Paper,you can vist our website!

Introduction Copying paper is a premium-grade cultural and industrial paper with specific features:

Physical Strength: It exhibits high physical strength. Uniformity and Transparency: Copying paper boasts excellent uniformity and transparency. Surface Properties: The paper surface is smooth, fine, and free from bubbles or irregularities. Printability: It is suitable for printing due to its exceptional ink receptivity. Manufacturing Process The production of copying paper involves two fundamental processes: pulping and papermaking.

Pulping: In this stage, plant fibers are mechanically or chemically processed to create the essential paper pulp or bleached pulp. Papermaking: The suspended paper pulp fibers are processed and combined to form paper sheets that meet various requirements. The paper mill typically stores enough raw materials for 4 to 6 months, allowing natural fermentation to occur, which aids in pulping and ensures continuous production. After preparing the raw materials (such as reeds, straw, and wood), they undergo cooking in chemical solutions or mechanical refining to produce paper pulp. The pulp is then washed, purified, and bleached to achieve the desired whiteness. Additional additives, such as fillers and sizing agents, are incorporated to enhance paper properties. Finally, the paper pulp is processed through the paper machine, resulting in either roll paper or cut sheets.

Copier Leasing 101: The Ultimate Guide to Getting the Best Price

Leasing a copier is the cheapest and fastest way to get a full-size copier in your office. With no money down, you can have a copier delivered in just a few days. But to get the best deal on your copier lease, you'll need to understand the lease market and be prepared to negotiate. We've compiled this comprehensive guide to help you navigate the process allowing you to maximise some savings.

Know the Key Specs to Look For Before requesting quotes, make a list of must-have specs for your ideal copier. Important features to consider include:

- Print speed (ppm) - Maximum usage volume - Paper capacity and finishing options (stapling, hole punching, etc) - Scanning abilities and connectivity options

This will help you zero in on appropriate models and compare quotes apples to apples. The goal here is to avoid getting duped by sales reps who try upcharging for unnecessary bells and whistles.

Calculate Your True Monthly Volume Crunch the numbers to determine your actual monthly print volume. Don't just guess—take a look at historical usage data and existing device counters. Break down averages for both black-and-white and color printing. An accurate volume estimate is crucial for securing a cost-effective service agreement.

Leverage Online Quoting Portals Don’t waste time contacting dealers one by one. Instead, use an online copier quote generator that allows you to post your request and receive numerous competitive bids in one place. Local dealers will bid for your business by providing quotes in seconds. We do a pretty good job with this part.

Get Quotes from Independent Dealers In addition to going direct with the manufacturers and big authorized dealers, don't underestimate the lesser-known regional and local copier dealers. Independent players are often hungrier for your business and more willing to offer discounted pricing. Just be sure to vet these companies thoroughly.

Ask About Available Promotions Dealers frequently run copier lease promotions to boost sales during slow periods. Don’t be shy—ask what current discounts or specialty rates they can offer your business. Even existing customers can negotiate down rates by taking advantage of promotions.

Consider a Longer Lease Term Opting for a 5-year lease generally provides the lowest monthly payment. Just confirm that the model will meet your needs and be supported for that timeframe. You can even negotiate a term between 3-5 years for maximum flexibility.

Bundle Your Service Agreement For most businesses, choosing a service agreement with copies included provides the best overall value. Just be sure your monthly allowance aligns closely with your actual usage. Ask about discounted overage rates that kick in when you exceed the allowance.

A little negotiation doesn't hurt Make dealers work for your business by negotiating some aspects of the offer. Pricing, lease terms, service plans, and delivery fees—are all on the table. It's important to note that leasing a copier is an important decision, so make sure you get exactly what you're looking for.

If you follow these insider tips when seeking your next copier lease you’ll be poised to achieve major savings in your bottom line.
