Displacing Older Printers • Does the primary application (document) of this printer lend itself to color? • Compare the price of replacement consumables with price of new color printer • Compare the cost of any maintenance contracts with the price of new color printer • Sell the benefits of color printing while maintaining support for monochrome printing

10. Displacing Ink Jet Printers • Many of your customers rely on ink jet printers • Ink jet printers are slow, messy, and expensive if best quality output is desired • The “messiness” & slow printing of ink jets dominates customers’ mindset regarding color printing • Not efficient enough for business use

11. Why Color Laser vs. Ink Jet? LASER Print speed consistent regardless ofprint quality High duty cycle sustains use by multiple people on a network High consumable yields prevent workflow interruptions Output durable and resistant No special print media required for best output INK JET Print speed slows dramatically as printquality increases Duty cycle typically not designed for network use Limited consumable yields mean frequent replacement Output subject to smearing and fading. Drying time required Premium media (at a premium price) required for best output
