Office computer equipment isn’t complete without printers, copiers and scanners. Many offices make use of large, all-in-one machines; and these powerful machines often seem to be otherworldly and complex. Because large printers come with a sizeable price tag—anywhere from a few thousand dollars up to $20,000 and beyond—it’s crucial to ensure their protection. There are three main methods of insuring your office printers. Buy coverage when you buy the machines. Add the machines onto your existing business insurance policy. Insure machines through the company you lease them from. A good business insurance policy should offer contents coverage that is equal to the overall estimated value of the company’s physical assets, which includes printers, computers, desks, furniture, file cabinets, break room appliances and more. While a total loss isn’t as likely as a partial loss, it’s prudent to be prepared for the worst. Your local insurance agency, like Peachstate Insurance, can

EXAMPLE: Toner costs $189.00 and stated yield is 10,000 copies. Now you understand why toner cartridges usually never yield their stated volume.  We offer low flat-rate per-copy pricing, regardless of toner coverage.
