As these and other features become more and more commonplace, the average cost for a quality photocopier is driven further down.  Machines that would have cost over a thousand dollars just a few years ago have been slashed to a fraction of the cost.  Retailers today offer quality budget photocopiers starting at around $150. 

Of course, the price is determined by the features selected.  When determining the price range for the photocopier for your home or business, first think about the functions.  Make a list of the tasks to be utilized.  Next, think about the volume of work to be done by your organization.  If yours is a small business, with less than 500 pages copied per month, than a budget copier may be just what you need.  Then think in terms of speed of processing.  Perhaps a machine that copies and prints 20 pages per minute will be sufficient. 

With a little research on the front end, quality budget photocopiers can be purchased for a fraction of the cost from a few years ago.  Even the high end budget copiers are around $500.  Add that with rebates and it’s easy to slash prices even further.
