Re: Copier Tech Rate Per Hr.
Gas prices alone warrant it. I was charging $80/hr back in the year 2000 when I was a field tech and that was to fix printers not copiers. For the end user: Copiers have a bit more parts and you usually don't finish in less than 30 min like you do with printers. To me you should be charging at least $90-100/hr on monochrome and $110-125/hr for color for printers. Some companies mark up prices on parts a good bit, but we never did. Some companies charge per trip charges too. Make sure you ask in advance if there is a trip charge so you're not surprised later.
New England is higher cost of living than the south, so $150/hr up there doesn't sound too bad to me for copier repair as that is probably close to what it would cost down here.
