A simple financial summary, lets say::

The current Mono/Colour printers cost £2500 per month to produce 50,000 mono and 600 colour prints

We’ll ignore their capital write off as we do not propose to dispose of them just yet

and a 35 cpm copier with finishing costs circa £350 per month rental for three years plus £100 to produce 10,000 copies

Therefore the current total print spend is £2,950 per month

New option 1

60,000 mono prints = £510

600 colour prints = £54

3  x 31 cpm mono with colour systems £400 per month 3 year

Total £964 per month

SAVING about £2,000 per month

New option 2

60,000 prints = £510

600 colour prints = £54

3 x 68 cpm mono with colour systems £900 per month 3 year

Total £1,464 per month

SAVING about £1,500 per month
