One, what type of copier is good for the copy shop
First of all, you need to understand what grade you are targeting when opening a shop. Is it a small copy shop, copying and printing are not the main business, but only the kind of side-to-side? Or is it a professional graphic store, which mainly focuses on mass copying and printing, bidding book making, color digital printing, etc.? Clear these first, and the choice below is much easier.
If it is the first case, the choice of copier should be based on medium and low speed, the speed of 18-40 sheets per minute is almost the same, but it must be selected with printing function, it is better to be able to scan in color Yes, color scanning is a highly profitable business, and it costs nothing. How to choose depends on your own capital budget. The price of a new medium and low speed machine ranges from 3,000 to 25,000 yuan. The stability and printing quality of the machine are not much different from each brand.
The main reference index should be the printing cost in the later stage, and try to choose a manufacturer with substitute consumables on the market. Because opening a store is different from your own office use, it can reduce costs and make more profits. So I think this is the most important one. At present, the copier brands that are relatively easy to find for substitute consumables are: Ricoh, Canon, Kemei, Sharp and other brands. The first three machines are relatively solid, and Sharp’s machines have more plastic parts. But relatively cheap.
There are many types of low and medium-speed second-hand mobile phones on the market now, and the quality is uneven. There are recycling machines in China and models that are eliminated abroad. If there is no professional level, it is difficult to choose a good machine that you like. And the price difference with the new machine is not very big, the cost performance is not too high, not recommended.
Let’s talk about the second situation, this type of store naturally takes production capacity as the main indicator. So it is definitely the first choice for large production copiers. If the budget is not very tight, I recommend the first choice for production copiers with 90+ sheets. Why do you say this way? Because of the high-speed copiers with 50-90 sheets, the manufacturer’s design purpose is not for production companies like graphic stores, but for office use by some large enterprise units, so although the printing speed is still fast, but The production capacity is not excellent, it is not suitable for mass production for a long time, and its designed service life is generally less than 5 million prints. If the printing volume is large, there are many small faults in the machine, which will cause the printing cost to rise.
Recommended production copiers with more than 90 sheets, strong production capacity, stable and durable. If you take a closer look at its internal structure, you will find that it is very different from the high-speed machine within 90 sheets. The paper path will be longer, and the structure is simple, with many fans and strong heat dissipation capacity. On the top, the length is generally more than two meters five, and the paper feeding ability is super.
But here comes the problem. Although this kind of machine is good, the price of a brand-new machine is generally more than 150,000 yuan, which is really prohibitive for ordinary shop owners. Fortunately, this machine has a large number of foreign retired equipment, and there are many dealers. The price ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 to 40,000, and its cost performance is still very high. At present, some mainstream models are: Ricoh 1106 series, 1107 series, Xerox 4110 series, 4112 series, Kemei 950, 1050 series, which are all good choices. Among them, the Xerox series has the best printing effect, but the printing cost is relatively high. High Point. Ricoh prints are the cheapest.
However, when buying such a large-scale production copier, the price is not the most important thing. It is normal that the quotations of various merchants differ by 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. Because the machine is different in color, the price will also be different. Just imagine, If the condition is 90% new or 50% new, the quality of the machine will be very different. The difference is 3,000 yuan. If I change it, I will definitely choose the one that I chose. The new machine sells for 160,000, isn’t it because it is new?
Finally, I want to emphasize that if you decide to buy second-hand equipment, the most important thing is to see the strength and service of the merchant. No matter how good the machine is, it can’t be bad. If the after-sales service of the merchant can’t keep up, all the previous efforts will be in vain. No matter how cheap you buy it, you can’t create benefits for yourself, it’s just a pile of scrap iron. Therefore, when asking friends to buy equipment, you should mainly consider the strength and service level of the business.
Second, what equipment is needed to open a copy shop
A complete graphic copy shop must have the following basic equipment:
1. Computer. The computer used in the graphic store will involve graphic design, three-dimensional design, and need to deal with various libraries, so the configuration requirements are relatively high.
2. Copiers. The grade of the machine is mainly determined by the speed, the low grade is about 16 sheets per minute, the medium grade is 45 sheets, and the high-end machine is more than 65 sheets.
3. The binding machine. The main business of the graphic store is to post-process the documents, in addition to printing and copying, it is binding. Whether a document is made beautifully or not, the process of binding plays a very important role. In the previous printing room, after the materials are copied, they can be bound with an ordinary stapler. Later, with clips and PVC transparent sheets, the files look slightly more beautiful. Today’s graphic stores can do most of the binding styles provided by ordinary printing houses. It can be made into a self-adhesive type, which looks like a very flat book, which requires a wireless glue binding machine. Many documents are now bound with iron rings, conduits or plastic rings, which require special iron ring binding machines, plastic ring binding machines and conduit binding machines.
4. Paper cutter. At present, domestic paper cutters are selected, and the quality is not much different from that of imported ones. Choose a paper cutter according to the type of files you usually handle. Under normal circumstances, a small graphic store only needs to choose the 430 type, which can cut documents with a thickness of 4 cm, about 450 pages. Large graphic shops should choose 670 type, the width is 670mm, and the thickness can be cut to 45cm. The price of the paper cutter used in the graphic store ranges from 3,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan.
5. Indentation machine. It is suitable for series products of multi-variety and small batch indentation and folding. The indentation line is clear and beautiful. When used for indentation of coated paper, special paper, image paper, etc., there will be no burrs and cracks after folding. Can be replaced with different thickness indentation steel wire and different width indentation die.
6. Bookcase machine. The bookcase machine is a machine used for hardcover bookcases. For example, the shell behind the Xinhua dictionary we use is a bookcase made of a hardcover bookcase machine. Some bookcase machines use the principle of light refraction and reflection, and use centering. The positioning method meets the needs of users for quick operation. The bookcase machine is equipped with a negative pressure adsorption function to make the cover more flat and not out of position.
7. Laminating machine. Lamination is to coat the plastic film with adhesive, and combine it with the printed matter using paper as the substrate, after being pressed by a rubber roller and a heating roller, to form a paper-plastic integrated product. Jintu pre-coating laminating machine, without gluing and drying parts, small size, low cost, flexible and convenient operation, not only suitable for laminating processing of large batches of printed matter, but also suitable for small batches and scattered prints such as automated desktop office systems. Lamination processing.
