Compare Your Liverpool Photocopier Costs — Not Just the Monthly Rental

One of our established Liverpool customers originally spoke to us because the cost of its existing print environment was too high. The business already had many photocopiers and printers and was dealing with a manufacturer, yet downtime and support were still causing problems. That is why we compare the complete commercial position before proposing another agreement.

• Equipment rental, cost-per-copy, service charges and real print volumes
• Remaining term, settlement position and whether changing now is commercially sensible
• Downtime, support experience and whether the current fleet still fits the organisation
• Recurring charges or contract structures that materially change the true cost

Our approach: the aim is the lowest sensible total cost of ownership with a service structure that works after installation. Camelott combines low mono and colour CPC rates with no minimum billing as its standard service structure, shows applicable proposal/admin costs upfront and does not add a separate toner-delivery charge.

Like-for-like quote beat guarantee: give Camelott a genuine competing quotation and we will beat it where the equipment, specification, agreement term, service structure and usage assumptions are genuinely comparable.

For a deeper explanation of cost-per-copy, included-print structures and other contract traps, see our Cheap Photocopiers Guide.

• How are colour clicks counted? Check how the machine and service agreement count chargeable colour pages rather than comparing a headline rate in isolation.
• Are you prepaying for prints you may never use? Camelott does not normally recommend bundled included-print arrangements unless there is a clear reason for the customer to request them.
• Is there minimum billing? Camelott's standard service agreements do not use minimum billing, so an artificial minimum print volume is not charged simply because the agreement says so.
• Are recurring IT or scanning fees actually needed? We normally configure printing and scanning correctly at installation and do not automatically add a quarterly charge for standard IT or scanning functionality that may never need attention.
• What sits outside the headline price? Applicable proposal and administration costs should be visible before a decision is made.

The practical test: compare what the equipment will cost and how it will be supported over the period you actually expect to use it — not simply which quote has the smallest monthly number.

The better we understand the surface underneath — the current costs, users, workflows, frustrations and future plans — the better the final result is likely to be.

• Current equipment and costs: what you have, what it is costing and whether the agreement is helping or restricting you.
• How people actually work: print volumes, scanning, A3/A4, colour, finishing, departments, remote users and workflow.
• Support history: downtime, recurring faults, driver or scan problems and where the current supplier is causing frustration.
• The IT around the machine: networks, scan-to-email, print queues, Microsoft 365, Google services and compatible apps.
• What should happen next: lease new equipment, buy, use professionally prepared used equipment, add a device, reduce the fleet or keep the current setup for longer.

Why it matters: better preparation can mean lower costs, a better user experience and equipment that remains suitable for longer.

How Camelott Supports Liverpool from Telford

Camelott does not operate a Liverpool office. We are based in Telford and deliberately keep the service personal: we try to treat customers more like friends than account numbers, so it is normally easy to speak to somebody who understands the requirement and can make a decision or get an issue resolved. Our own engineers normally travel from Telford. Liverpool is around 90 minutes away in normal driving conditions, but that is travel time rather than a guaranteed response time; actual attendance depends on traffic, workload, engineer availability and the fault.

• Diagnose first where possible. We take time to understand the fault before an engineer travels so the visit can be better prepared.
• Common parts are already carried. Engineers carry common consumable and service parts in their vans.
• Additional parts are held at our office. If the fault needs something less routine, we have further stock in Telford that can be collected and installed quickly.
• Remote support can start sooner. Driver, print queue, scanning, software and configuration issues can often be investigated before a physical visit is needed.
• Our own print and scanning infrastructure. Camelott operates its own print and scanning servers, helping simplify scan-to-email, print queues and offline cloud printing, with Microsoft 365 and Google print apps available where appropriate.

The goal is not simply to arrive — it is to arrive with a better understanding of the problem and, where possible, the parts needed to resolve it.
