Almost same here. Those fees go for copiers. For printers it's smaller. Anyway, shitty payment here in eastern europe. Weak economy overall. I'm hoping things will turn to a better side the next few years.

Yeah. Imagine all the beautifull women over there, the sunny days, the beach. And you running with your vacuum in one hand and the toolbox in the other, your shirt with black stains from toner and your phone just ringing and ringing from another pissed customer who can't pull out a jammed sheet of paper.Drop the job, turn yourself into a DJ and THEN go to California. Now that's fun. )

Re: fee comparison

Now that would really be a nasty accident.
Reporter : " How did you get injured"?
Customer : " Well, an earthquake proof copier rolled over me"
Reporter : " WTF?!?!?!?"

Re: fee comparison

Re: fee comparison

okay okay - I get it !

If not Cali, than somewhere hot like Arizona. No earthquakes there.
And I have a solution : black T-shirt, so toner spots are not visible.

Re: fee comparison

Since cost of living in Eastern Europe is much lower compared to USA and Western Europe there must be a great difference in what a customer has to pay for our services.

If I see what the fat cats like HP, Xerox and the like are charging than we are still modest with our Euro 70.00 per hour. Take into account that we pay around 45% taxes here............

Re: fee comparison

I would not say "much lower".

I would say "yeah lower - but not that much"

We pay approx 25%-30% tax

Where do you live Hans? In my opinion, 70 euro/h is really good. For example, here in Romania, a so called "good wage" goes about 300 euros. To fill up my car costs 100 euros. A nice pair of shoes goes about 60-70 euros here. Imagine the "good living" here. Not to mention taxes, household expenses, etc. etc. I'm an independent and i'm doing fine but for the rest majority of the copier techs it's really hard.
