Most Tufts University Copiers are now multi-function devices capable of scanning documents, faxing documents, and printing documents from computers over the network. The printing capabilities are especially noteworthy since the average cost of a print from a copier is a lot less expensive than the cost of a print from a networked laser printer or desktop inkjet printer. All departments should consider saving money on printing by replacing their networked laser printers with copiers and encouraging the use of networked copiers for any print job that is not sensitive.
In 2003, a print assessment was completed by purchasing. the findings are below.
- Tufts copiers average $.025 per page
- Tufts black and white laser printers average $.076 per page
- Tufts color desktop printers average $.247 per page
