How to Compare an Office Photocopier Quote

For a useful photocopier quote comparison, start with the monthly equipment payment, mono and colour cost per copy, and normal print volumes. Confirm your figures, send your details and see whether Camelott® could beat the quote. We’ll then call to check the equipment, service and agreement.

  1. Submit figures.Choose A4 or A3 and enter the monthly equipment payment for one machine. Add your mono and colour CPC in pence, normal print volumes and any remaining agreement payments. Type 5 for 5p per page.
  2. Confirm.Check the summary against your quote. Correct anything that needs changing before you continue.
  3. Send details.Add your name, email, phone number, machine quantity and quoted model. We’ll receive your figures and the comparison decision by email.
  4. See comparison.The result tells you whether we could beat the entered quote. Someone from Camelott® will be in touch to confirm an exact offer or check we’re comparing apples with apples.

Useful rule: if a supplier quotes an “all-inclusive” figure, ask how many mono and colour prints are included, what happens when you exceed them, whether there is minimum billing and exactly what is excluded.

A Low Monthly Lease Does Not Automatically Mean a Low-Cost Photocopier

Two photocopier quotes can show similar monthly rentals and still produce very different costs once service charges and actual usage are included.

Equipment Rental

The fixed lease or rental for the photocopier. It is usually the easiest figure to compare, but it is only one part of the cost.

Mono & Colour CPC

On a busy machine, cost-per-copy can matter more than a small difference in rental. Check how clicks are counted as well as the advertised rate.

Actual Print Volume

CPC only becomes meaningful when it is applied to the number of mono and colour pages the organisation genuinely produces.

Settlement & Existing Commitments

Replacing equipment early can create a settlement. Include that commitment before deciding that moving to a new agreement saves money.

Compare the same monthly costs: equipment payment + mono usage + colour usage + applicable recurring charges. Check settlement separately before deciding whether switching saves money overall.

Compare total cost

How We Review Your Photocopier Quote

Your figures give us a useful starting point. We still need to check the exact machine, workload, service requirements and contract before we can give you a meaningful quotation.

Equipment and Agreement

A genuine quotation depends on the exact model, age, meter count, specification, agreement term, customer location and finance approval.

A lower monthly payment is not automatically better if the machine is under-specified, over-specified or tied to a longer commercial term.

Running Costs

We look at mono and colour CPC against the actual volumes you enter. This matters because a small difference in CPC can be more important than a small difference in rental on a busy machine.

Final service pricing can vary with equipment, workload, print profile, expected volumes, parts exposure and customer location.

Settlement is separate: the form records the remaining payments you enter, but only your finance provider can confirm the actual settlement. Whether changing now makes sense depends on the remaining term and the existing agreement.

What We Check Before Calling a Photocopier Quote Cheap

The figures alone cannot tell you whether the contract or proposed machine represents good value.

  • Minimum billing: are you paying for a minimum number of prints even when you do not produce them?
  • Included-print allowances: are you prepaying for volume you may never use, and what happens if the allowance is exceeded?
  • How colour clicks are counted: compare the charging method as well as the headline CPC.
  • Page coverage and consumable structure: two suppliers can quote the same colour CPC while carrying very different exposure to high colour coverage. Ink and toner are coverage-variable, while drums, fusers and many other laser-service components are largely page/cycle-based rather than directly proportional to image coverage.
  • IT and scanning charges: are recurring fees being added for standard print or scan functions that may rarely require attention?
  • Administration and other charges: check applicable proposal, documentation, delivery, collection and end-of-term costs.
  • Machine specification: a cheap lease on an oversized machine can still cost more than correctly specifying a smaller device.
  • Agreement length: an apparently cheaper monthly figure may simply come from extending the commitment for longer.
  • Support: a low price becomes poor value if faults, downtime or badly configured printing and scanning disrupt the organisation.

Camelott®'s standard approach: no minimum billing as standard, applicable proposal or administration costs shown upfront, no separate toner-delivery charge, and the customer requirement considered before the machine or agreement term.

Why Ask Camelott® to Review the Full Quote?

Send us the headline numbers from your quote. Camelott® can look at whether the equipment, workflow, service structure and agreement itself make commercial sense.

Personal Service

We try to treat customers more like friends than account numbers. Customers can normally speak directly to someone who understands the requirement and has the authority to make a decision.

Whole-Solution Advice

We look at users, volumes, workflow, scanning, reliability, equipment and total cost. If keeping the current machine is the sensible option, we are prepared to say so.

In-House Technical Capability

Camelott®'s own technical team supports equipment, drivers, print queues, scanning, scan-to-email and the wider workflow around the photocopier.

Our Own Print & Scanning Infrastructure

Camelott® operates its own print and scanning servers, with Microsoft 365 and Google print apps and offline cloud-print workflows available where appropriate.

Low Running Costs

Low mono and colour CPC rates, no minimum billing as standard and transparent applicable charges help keep attention on total cost rather than headline rental.

New, Used or Keep What You Have

The right answer is not automatically another new lease. We can compare new equipment, professionally prepared used machines, purchase, rental or retaining the current device.

The Price Is Only Part of It. The Machine Has to Fit.

A lower price only helps if the photocopier can handle the workload and the agreement fits your organisation.

Right-Size the Equipment

Users, A3/A4 requirements, colour, peak volumes, scanning, finishing and expected growth all affect which machine makes commercial sense.

Check the Workflow

Drivers, print queues, scan-to-email, Microsoft 365, Google, secure print and compatible apps can matter as much as the advertised pages-per-minute.

Consider New, Used or Existing Equipment

A professionally prepared used machine, outright purchase or retaining the existing equipment can sometimes produce the stronger commercial result.

Check Whether CPC Is Truly Like-for-Like

The same quoted colour CPC on an inkjet machine is not automatically equivalent to that rate on a laser machine. Higher image coverage can increase the ink or toner element, but drums, fusers and many other laser-service costs do not normally rise in direct proportion to page coverage.

Photocopier Lease & Quote Comparison FAQs

Questions worth asking before choosing the lowest-looking photocopier quotation.

What happens after I send my comparison details?
You’ll see a yes or no result after the enquiry is sent successfully. Camelott® receives your contact details, quote figures and the answer you were shown. We’ll call to check the details and confirm the next step. You can complete up to three comparisons using your email address or phone number.
Does the comparison replace an exact quotation?
No. The result is an initial check using your entered figures. We still need to confirm the machine, service, VAT basis, agreement and any existing commitment before making an exact offer.
What should I compare in a photocopier lease quote?
Compare the equipment payment, mono and colour CPC, realistic print volumes, minimum billing, existing settlement, service inclusions and any additional recurring or end-of-term charges. The equipment specification must also suit the workload.
What can a photocopier lease cost?
Pricing depends on the machine, age, meter count, facilities, expected usage, location, agreement term and finance approval. Ask Camelott® for a quote based on your actual requirement.
What is a competitive photocopier CPC?
The appropriate rate depends on the machine, workload, print volumes, parts exposure, service requirement and customer location.
What is CPC on a photocopier quote?
CPC means cost per copy or cost per click. It is normally quoted separately for mono and colour pages. Multiply each rate by the appropriate monthly print volume to understand the usage element of the agreement.
Can two identical colour CPC rates have different real cost risk?
Yes. The headline CPC does not show how the service cost is made up. Ink and toner consumption changes with image coverage. On many laser agreements, a substantial part of the CPC also covers drums, fusers, other parts and service costs that are largely page/cycle-based rather than directly proportional to colour coverage. High-coverage workloads should therefore be reviewed separately rather than assuming two equal CPC figures are automatically like-for-like.
Can the cheapest monthly photocopier lease cost more overall?
Yes. Lower rental can be offset by higher CPC, minimum billing, unnecessary included prints, additional fees, a longer term or an oversized machine. Total cost should be assessed over the period the equipment will actually be used.
Should I include settlement from my current agreement?
Yes. If the current finance agreement still has a financial commitment, that settlement can materially affect whether changing equipment now is commercially sensible.
Will my existing settlement be included in the quote review?
Tell us about the remaining payments and agreement end date. We will consider them in the review, but your finance provider must confirm the actual settlement before a saving can be established.
Why choose Camelott® to review a photocopier quote?
Camelott® combines personal service and direct access to decision-makers with an in-house technical team, its own print and scanning servers, Microsoft 365 and Google print apps, low mono and colour CPC rates and no minimum billing as standard. We look at the whole requirement and total cost rather than simply trying to sell the biggest machine or longest agreement.
Can Camelott® review a quotation from another supplier?
Yes. Camelott® can review the proposed equipment, rental, mono and colour CPC, expected volumes, settlement, specification and contract structure to establish whether the proposal makes commercial sense.
