When was the photocopier invented?

September 13, 2019/in Uncategorized /by admin

Chester Carlson and two very old photocopiers

The office photocopier is an incredible machine which has saved the world billions of man-hours, what did we do before this brilliant machine?

There were four copying solutions when Chester Carlson from Seattle invented the photocopier process called electro-photography in 1937, renaming to Xerography in 1938.

These copying solutions were…

  • Carbon Copying
  • Copying by hand
  • Pictures
  • Mimeograph

Whilst working in New York, Chester was shocked to see how many man-hours were wasted copying documents.

Having graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a degree in Physics, plus earning a law degree in New York, our hero Chester Carlson, set to work coming up with a more practical way of producing many copies of a document from simply pushing a button.

Having produced white papers on how this machine could work he approached many companies who crazily turned his invention down.

Xerox Was Born

It wasn’t until 22 Years after he’d invented Xerography that the first push button automated photocopier, called Copyflo, was produced. 

Quite rightly, the Haloid* Xerox photocopier called Copyflo became a huge success and the turnover grew from $2 million dollars in 1960 to $22 million dollars in 1963!

In 1955 Haloid, a photo paper manufacturer, helped Chester create CopyFlo. The company was originally called Haloid Xerox but shortened the name to Xerox when they floated on the New York stock exchange.

In the 1970s and 1980s the market was flooded with photocopying manufacturers which included Toshiba, Sharp and Kyocera.

Your humble and now highly advanced photocopiers sit in the office, churning out copies of important documents with ease and is sometimes a humorous prop at the Christmas party (I am sure Chester would be turning in his grave knowing what was photocopied at the Christmas parties). It took quite a journey to become one of the best office-based inventions of the last century, only the PC and the telephone have had a bigger impact on office life.

These days you don’t even need to buy a photocopier, you can also lease them at a low set price, see our post on the Leasing Vs Buying a photocopier.

If you’re looking to buy or lease a photocopier for your office or business, please call the Panacea sales team on 01432 360229.

August 10, 2019/in Photocopiers /by admin

 

weighing up rent or but a photocopier

Here at Panacea in Hereford we want to make sure our customers walk away with the very best photocopier or printer solution for their business. Whether you’re looking to buy a printer outright or lease a photocopier we have put together a guide giving you some advice along with pros and cons to keep you on the right track.

Buying a Photocopier

First and foremost, purchasing a photocopier and entering into a flexible maintenance programme or full print management service has some very positive benefits to your business accounts:

  • Each year you can write off the depreciation of your newly purchased photocopier
  • The value of your photocopier will be added to the assets of your busines
  • There is less paperwork with no monthly payments

However, there are some negative impacts on your business and accounts:

  • Buying a photocopier can use up much needed cashflow
  • Once you’ve bought the machine it may soon become old technology
  • A better option may be investing your money in other parts of your business

In our opinion, buying a photocopier is a good option for a cash rich business.

Leasing a Photocopier

80% of our customers lease their photocopiers, along with our maintenance agreements and print management service. Panacea know this a very popular solution and businesses in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and the South West, we feel, have taken the right choice. Here’s why:

  • A massive reduction in your upfront cost
  • Make your balance sheet more tax efficient by offsetting your lease costs against your taxable profit, which is better than owning an asset
  • You will always be able to use the latest cutting-edge print technology which is better than ploughing money into a dated copier. You can upgrade or add features to your system at any time
  • Determine the amount you’d like to pay each month by setting the length of your lease rental agreement
  • Leasing a photocopier gives you flexibility as you can always replace your photocopier with a smaller or larger machine if your needs change

Why 20% of our customers buy their Large Multifunctional Printer or Photocopier:

  • They get to own the machine outright
  • It can sometimes be a problem getting a lease agreement if your business has a poor credit rating – we have found that most of our customers have been successful with their applications through our preferred finance partners

In our experience lease is the most popular choice

A massive 80% of our customers lease their photocopiers, this gives off a huge message that leasing a copier is far more tax efficient and flexible and we think, in most instances, is the better choice.
