Benefits of Adding a Toshiba Copier When You Have a Large Format Printer
In an effort to continue to provide the best printing solutions for our clients we’ve officially partnered with Toshiba to begin selling Toshiba copiers.
Many businesses, from small office workgroups to large firms with multiple departments, could save a great deal of money by adding a copier to their office alongside their large-format printers. Not only that but it has also been shown to increase productivity and optimize workflows.
In this article, we’ll review the benefits businesses may experience by adding a copier to their office and which Toshiba printers we are most impressed by.
Why We Partnered With Toshiba
We partnered with Toshiba because they have some of the best full-featured Multifunction copiers today.
One distinguishing feature is their compact design. In many cases, adding this copier can help create a powerful printing hub that streamlines workflows for teams mainly needing to copy & print.
In addition, we were impressed by Toshiba’s advanced security and cloud features. Protecting data is a key focus, and Toshiba makes it easy and safe for hybrid teams to work from anywhere.
Lastly, the Toshiba multifunction printer line offers both black-and-white monochrome printers and color e-STUDIO machines to help maximize cost savings depending on your business needs.
Businesses Who Could Benefit From Adding a Toshiba Copier
Almost every small office typically has a small-format copier. Whether you’re a construction firm, a local school, or a small office, your IT department or office manager has likely already purchased a copier (or has been begging for one!).
We have found that larger businesses that have previously invested in a wide-format printer might have yet to purchase a copier. Common businesses that could benefit from adding a copier to their workplace include AEC firms, school districts, design firms, government organizations, and school districts.
These larger institutions hold off on buying a copier because they believe their large-format printer’s multi-functional features are enough. These expensive investments can already scan and copy documents, so why add another printing device to your office?
3 Reasons to Buy a Copier in Addition to Your Large Format Printer
Steven Enterprises printing experts recommend adding a copier to your printing hub if one of these three situations applies to your business.
You print half-size formats regularly
If your team regularly prints half-size blueprints, you could save many supply costs by printing them on these Toshiba copiers. Depending on the model you choose, you can print 11×17 and 8×14 legal-size prints. So, you could likely take over those print jobs and save your large-format printer from wear and tear.
You have more than 3 print operators
There is no point in putting your large-format printer in overdrive if you have a large team of people accessing it daily. The printer has a very specific purpose: making high-quality large-format prints. Adding a copier could reduce wasted time waiting for prints in the cue and make your team more productive.
Pro Tip: Deciding which copier model to purchase comes down to speed. If you have 3 operators using the copier, you can probably get away with 25 pages per minute to avoid any bottlenecks. On the flip side, if you have a 30 person team, we’d recommend getting a copier capable of 65 pages per minute.
You need to lower ink costs
In many cases, businesses with a large format printer on-site use their printer for all its multifunctional capabilities (printing, scanning, and copying). However, since the cost per print is much higher than that of a basic copier machine, there are considerable savings.
Let’s say for example your team uses the large format printer to print 20K low-density prints per month. This would roughly be $0.2 per print, translating to $4000 per month in ink costs. If you were to train your team to print the rough drafts on the copier, you’d only pay $0.01 per black & white print, translating to only $200 ink costs per month!

Most Popular Toshiba Copiers
Top Black & White Toshiba Copier
If your team is unnecessarily printing colored prints, investing in a Toshiba monochrome copier is a wise investment that will save money. Monochrome copiers only print black and white, so the business pays roughly $0.01/sheet (compared to roughly $0.68/sheet for color copiers).
Of all the monochrome copiers Toshiba offers, our printing experts believe the Toshiba e-STUDIO 3528A is the most well-rounded copier in the series.
It has everything from a super-charged document feeder to greater maximum paper capacity to next-level finishing performance; these new models raise the bar on what an MFP can do for productivity in the modern workplace.

Our printing experts were most impressed by the Toshiba e-STUDIO 2525AC. This powerful MFP copier takes up minimal space at the office and allows teams to and safely print from anywhere through cloud features.
