How to get a free Konica office printer for your school

In today’s economy, schools have budgets which must be adhered to, and these budgets can often be stretched very thin.

Cutting costs is almost a given come the beginning of the school year but there are free or low-cost options to be found for supplies, technology and services, if you know where to look. These small contributions can help immensely with a school’s limited funds; so helping the school provide better education while keep administrative costs down.

A company such as Collate Business Systems can often help to offset budget cuts or merely help with a school’s costs, and they do this by offeringfree copiers for schools. Obviously the copiers they provide aren’t entirely free but as a school you only pay for the copies you make.Free copiers for schools aren’t bought and they don’t have a lease agreement either.

There are several free models to choose from−all capable of making black and white and colour photocopies, printing and scanning. They can be used on a network if you have one or merely act as a stand-alone multifunctional machine. All of the devices that are offered free of charge have these basic features and offer document solutions for virtually any problem encountered in a school environment.

The Konica copiers within the free rangecan produce between 22 and 46 copies or prints per minute, depending on which model you choose.  In addition theycan be used as both black and white and colour copiers according to your needs and budget.They offer2 x 500 or 4 x 500 sheet paper cassettes, 1 x 100 sheet bypass trays, 1 x 100 sheet document feeders, automatic double siding and a booklet finisher with a capacity up to 46 pages.

Another great feature is that Konica copiers come equipped with the latest technology for high performance while being eco-performance energy star and German blue angel certified. The devices have low energy consumption and resource-friendly product designs.

Pricing and Benefits

As mentioned above, the way in which the photocopier is paid for is by the number of copies made per month. So depending on the model you choose, you will be asked to make a minimum number of black and white and colour copies per month; each of which costs between 4.6p and 5.07p.

Having Konica copiers for your school using this scheme has several other benefits in addition to the low price. So for example replacement toner and ink is included. You also get a colour copier servicing agreement so you never have to pay photocopier maintenance costs. Any problems with the machine can quickly be reported to thehotline user support service and if you need advice, you can call Collate Business Systems anytime for helpful customer support.
