When it comes to laser printers, how old is too old?

 

 

 

“For most enterprises, more than half of their printer fleet is over five years old.”

 

Like any piece of equipment, a printer is more likely to break down more often if it is an older model. Consequently, service costs go up due to the number of breakdowns that occur, and productivity goes down every time a printer is out of commission. 

 

In addition, older printers tend to be inefficient; it is not unusual to find printers tucked away in the enterprise somewhere that print no more than eight pages a minute. 

 

Finally, the cost of supplies for older devices tends to be higher; ink cartridges for older models, for example, often have lower yields and therefore need to be replaced more frequently, adding to the cost per page for printing. 

 

For all these reasons, eliminating older printers helps to reduce hardcopy costs. The older devices may be phased out altogether if the ratio of

printers to users is unnecessarily high. Or, they may be replaced by reliable, efficient new printers or by MFPs, which consolidate print, copy, fax and even scan functions into a single device.
