    New machines!

    Sure was nice back in the old days when you could order a new copier or whatever and have it arrive in a couple of days. Way back in 2019.

    Local inventory is king now especially on A4 color. The Toshiba e389cs & e330AC are great copiers but hard to get and if when available, you wait, you are not getting any for maybe two or more months.

    Just today I had a copier delivery that normally tales three days take thirteen.

    The good ole' days are gone for at least the next six months.

    President Biden has enabled the ports of LA & Long Beach to reduce their container backlog by 27% as reported today. This will overall help the print industry.

    Hi there!
    We get Canon A3 Systems without boards. They come seperately after some weeks.
    Greetings...

    It's funny how the tables have turned on these "big dealers" because these are the same scumbags that would libel and slander our company for offering a lightly used off lease alternative for potential clients as if they were garbage machines.

    ... in other words you were both quoting used copiers.

    Used copiers represent a snap shot in time of the copier technology available at that time. Many times customers only care about price but sometimes they need modern features like MS365 that can only be found in new copiers.

    COVID has created a huge demand for used copiers because new copiers have become difficult to import. As a result, quality used copiers are becoming harder to get and increasing in cost.
