10 cents for all inks and service repairs for an A3+ is pretty cheap! You don't want to know what the locals are asking here!
Let me give you an example:
Ricoh MPC 2000 color. They provide a refurbished machine 5 to 7 years old. They provide the inks and any repair service needed.
They charge:
-90 euros per month + VAT (23%) = 110.70€ (that covers the lease for the first 1500 copies, 1000 B/W and 500 colored). They set this cost as a plafon (ceiling price) in case you just print 200 copies. You stil have to pay 90+vat.
After the first 1500 copies the price is:
2 eurocents +vat for B/W copies =2.46 eurocents
15 eurocents+vat for colored copies =18,45 eurocents
With the ammount of prints i have per month i would need almost another 80-100€.
Thats around 200€ + per month.
Ok, that kind of copier provides A3+ size prints, but i don't need them for now. I have an A3+ B/W that does the job and i need only A4 colored. That's why a Mfp is a better choice for me. New, around 300-500 euros (that is around 2-3 months lease for a copier) and i have a new machine, with a warranty, not a refurbished one that is not even mine. With non OEM toners i would pay in a year only half the cost of a lease, and i 'll own the machine or sell it as used after a while.
