A4 Multifunctional Devices (MFDs)
The most difficult user community to cater for in reprographics is the small to mid-sized workgroup. Large workgroups and departments need A3 multifunctional devices but their smaller brethren usually end up with one of two options:
- Print-only, A4 LaserJet-type devices with no scan or copy capability
- Unnecessarily expensive, large footprint A3 multifunctional devices
The first option is typically the most common for cost reasons. Businesses have been crying out for a "best of both worlds" option. Now it's here - the A4 MFD. As top-tier partners with Canon and Sharp, Charterhouse can offer a solution that will give all the functionality of larger A3 MFDs at a total cost of ownership that's much lower than HP LaserJet-type devices. This is truly compelling.
Every business still needs A3. But not every workgroup. A4 MFDs offer the following benefits:
- All-inclusive contract for toner, parts and maintenance
- Multifunctional devices - print, copy and scan
- Significantly reduced TCO versus HP - hard costs
- Significantly reduced IT management & service - soft costs
- Small footprint ideal for small to mid-sized workgroups
A total cost of ownership comparison between HP-type workgroup printers and Sharp A4 MFDs shows that just 10 machines over 5 years costs nearly £60,000 less through Charterhouse. We have the figures to prove it - using HP's own published figures - and the audit tools to help you to realise these savings and productivity gains yourselves.
