Advantages vs Disadvantages of choosing a copier dealer
Advantage: The printer dealer has first access to the latest firmware for your copiers.
Disadvantage: Usually, the latest copier firmware has bugs(because they are not tested in your environment), which cause more harm than good. Staying a tiny bit behind usually helps.
Advantage: You get discounts when you buy large amounts of copier printers, so you should pass the savings onto the customer.
Disadvantage: Dealers are in the business of making money, because they must pay for the dealership status.
Advantage: Copier dealers get access to the newest model of printer copiers.
Disadvantage: This is a big one. The latest copier models(especially those in the first release party), have not been tested in a real business environment. The customers of the newest models become test guinea pigs for the copier company. Furthermore, copy machine repair is slowed by the lack of repair information
Advantage: You get to put “copier dealer” on your business card or website.
Disadvantage: We don’t get that pretty trophy on our website.

Disadvantage: Untrue. Leasing companies don’t care who leases copiers with them, because they are basically banks, and they want money.
Advantage: Printer Dealers get all the industry inside information from their trips to Las Vegas.
Disadvantage: There is really no inside information that Independent dealers don’t know. We all talk.
