Color pricing, Maintenance contracts.

[Hansoon]

Didn't find any info here about color pricing.

Don't have much experience with the larger color machines. Colleagues are telling me that they charge for service agreement contracts around USD 0.02 for B&W and 0.06 for color (A4 or Letter). We're talking about medium speed machines like the Bizhub C-253.

Besides the toner are the drum units and the transfer belt very costly, can one make money with those prices nowadays?

I think with Konica color, you rechip everything and hope you don't have to change a board. Those numbers are right in with what we bid.
