Laser Resources markets Konica Minolta copiers with a wide range of speeds and copy volume capabilities. Most models can be networked and all offer a range of optional accessories. It is our hope that this program will offer a cost effective option that will allow departments to procure copiers with state of the art technology without the initial cash outlay required for outright purchase.  Laser Resources has offered two different plans. One is a lease plus cost per copy with no monthly minimum and the other is a straight Cost per Copy agreement with minimum volumes set for each copier level. Both programs include service and all supplies except paper and staples. Pricing and other contract details can be obtained on the Purchasing Department web site @ http://www.uiowa.edu/~purchase/purchase/index.html. Click on the link to “Copier Procurement New” and then on the link to the “Cost per Copy Program”.  Paper catalogs will also be available soon.

 

Outright purchase will still be an option for copier procurement and will be available from all of our copier vendors including Laser Resources. However, rentals and leases will only be available through Laser Resources unless a department has a need for a high end copier or color copier not included in the Cost per Copy agreement. The only exception to this is the Business Office Lease/Purchase program which will still be available. Copiers in this program are initially acquired from the vendor via outright purchase by the Business Office and the lease/purchase agreement is between the department and the Business Office rather than with the copier vendor.

 

Departments that are already in the process of obtaining a copier via a rental or lease agreement through a vendor other than Laser Resources should contact Anne Sopher in Purchasing @ 5-0378 to discuss the situation prior to submitting their Preq. Also contact Anne Sopher with any questions.
