MV, a well-known supplier of copying equipment and decisions in the field of automation of document management, does not often make news about himself, so the application for the company's exit to the printer market immediately attracted attention.

According to IDC estimates, in the market of copying equipment in Russia, the MB brand is considered the third in popularity. In 2000, in the number of copies sold with the speed of printing more than 10 copies per minute (in the market as a whole, with the exception of personal copiers), MV took the first place. The growth was 56%, which several times exceeded the average indicators. And over the past two years, the supply of MV techniques, depending on the segment of 25 to 35% of the total market volume.

The company MW acts as an OEM partner of a number of foreign companies, such as Konica, Oki, and others, which produce technique for it at enterprises of Southeast Asia and Japan.

As you know, the market of copying equipment and in the world, and in Russia is growing much lower rates than the printer.

And so MV, as the company's leaders say, "invaded" to the printer market. According to the Director of the MV on Marketing Dmitry Thin, only in the first six months of 2001 sold more than 6 thousand monochrome Laser printers MV with a print speed of 8 to 45 ppm, which almost twice the indicators of the same period last year . In addition, for the first half of 2001, it was sold 2.5 times more color printers than in the same period of 2000.

From the point of view of the IDC director, Russia Robert Farisha (see CRN / RE No. 11/2001, p. 14), it was the segment of colored laser marks who became the most profitable printer market in 2001. If previously these devices were mostly interested in specialists working with graphics, Now, color printers are transformed into the goods. corporate clients. It is assumed that by 2005 the volume of the Russian market for color laser printers and copies will reach $ 70 million, and the main sales of this equipment will go to the corporate sector. In 2000, the segment of colored laser printers was leading HP, but Xerox / Tektronix achieved more than the leader, sales growth - 130% (NR - 110%). In addition, significant (about 185%) is noticeable growth in sales of color printers Konica. At the same time, it is known that for this success, the supplier had to sacrifice his name, since all its equipment was sold under the brand of MV.

Among the products of the MV, the MV monochrome printers 326 were most popular in the first half of the printing speed of 26 ppm and MV 508 at a speed of 8 ppm.

MV 326 is a compact network laser printer A3 format. The output rate of the first page is 6.5 s. Resolution 1200 x 1200 point / inch. The standard configuration includes the PostScript language, the MV 326N model is completed with a network card. Among additional devices - the mailbox for four cells, which allows you to separate documents of different groups of users. The confidential print feature is also provided when the user receives its documents only after entering the password on the printer.

MV 508 is a personal printer with a resolution of 1200 x 600 point / inch. The model is compatible with Windows, Windows NT and DOS (and the printer is hardware-Russified for DOS and has 12 Russian fonts). Printing is performed on the most different paper (even produced from the recycling) of the format from A6 to A4, a density of up to 120 g / sq. m. The mass of the printer is 4.3 kg.

Office applications require output to print very large amounts of personalized information. At the same time, the documents must be sorted, bold. Very often, as noted by MV specialists, in such a situation the client is forced to buy a copy-printer system, which has similar capabilities (these are expensive systems with a print speed from 40 to 100 ppm). Responding to market requests, MV offers two high-performance models with a set of finish devices.

MV 375 works at a speed of 75 ppm and is designed for peak loads up to a million fingerprints per month. The MV 375 display allows you to fully control the printer. Printer interface is provided - profirip with an improved software that allows you to turn MV 375 to the center of processing, printing and controlling document flow.

Color Laser Printer MV 738 A3 format has a resolution of 1200 x 1200 point / inch. The output time of the first imprint - 12 s (for color image), the postScript language is supported. The device is also equipped with finishing devices, and, according to the company, exceeds competitors for the speed of printing 2 times (28 color or 38 black and white pages per minute ). The main and additional trays accommodate 3100 sheets. The finisher for 2 thousand sheets is provided as an additional equipment, which allows you to fasten the finished prints and punch holes in them under the folder, as well as the mailbox for four cells.

Presented a new line of color multifunctional MB ofiCecenter devices. It was the first press conference of the company in the last two years, and representatives of MV did not limit themselves only by the announcement of new products, also told about the past restructuring of business processes, and the new development strategy.

Started with a small excursion in history. The company "MW" was founded in 1990 and began its work from the service of copying technology, shortly expanding activities before the delivery of equipment to Russia. The MV trademark was registered in 1996, and since 1997, the company began to produce copying equipment under his own brand. Later, the company began selling still air conditioners and office furniture. It was done so that customers had the opportunity to equip the office with everything necessary, resorting to the services of just one company. In 2006, the stormy reorganization of the company began, the leadership was changed, and the new team of top managers almost completely changed the development course "MV - office equipment".

About why representatives of MV "did not show public activity so much time and the company was engaged in the last two years, the general director of the company Vyacheslav Siver said in a detail.

It is no secret that Moscow is one of the most expensive cities in the world, and this seriously affects companies trying to conduct business in the capital. This became the main reason for the MV headquarters move to the near Moscow region. This idea, of course, does not belong to the leadership "MV", but they do not deny it. On the contrary, they emphasize that in many ways operate according to the experience of Western companies, whose headquarters are most often placed very far from large cities. After following the example of Xerox, MV built several houses for non-resident employees, as well as cottages that are going to sell their best employees at cost. As a result, serious savings on the content of offices and warehouses allowed to fix prices for many products, in particular consumables, which in turn improved customer loyalty to the company.

Again, several regional offices were closed for saving considerations in 2007, and in return began to develop a dealer network. However, for the qualifications of dealership staff service centers "MV" is still answered. Employees of the company are trained in their own training center, and exit master classes are arranged for partners.

However, as it were, the restructuring and relocation and relocation did not affect the future affairs of the company, in two years of the turbulent domestic change, the share of MV on the market has been greatly reduced. You can even say that many generally forgot about the existence of this brand. Of course, customers who have long been working with MV still receive full service, but there were practically no influx. "MV" produced and produces large office equipment, expensive copying devices that the usual user is able to interest except from curiosity. A few years ago, the share of MV in the Russian market was about 20%, not least due to a well-developed service scheme. Now, this share does not exceed 7% and keeps almost only at the expense of old customers. For the plans of "MV" for the next two years, it includes to return its 20% of the market, the further ideas of less ambitious - gradually increase their share of up to 25%. Regarding the development of the device line, the bulk of which is still large and expensive copying and printing apparatus, Alexander Stepanov, director of marketing, said that MV, like other manufacturers, plans to develop the desktop segment. So far, there are no such devices in the company line, but the development department is working on them.

Alexander Stepanov presented three new multifunctional devices of the MB OffceCenter series. The first was shown the MB OfficeCenter 120c device. This full-color A4 MFP is equipped with a fax function, printer and scanner functions and the cost of prints is approaching monochrome devices. 120c Designed for medium and small working groups and is equipped with a network interface.

Specifications MB OfficeCenter 120c:

According to the manufacturer, this is the most compact apparatus in its class. The difference in the amount is hardly very striking, but it is essential when placing MFP directly in the office, especially small, where every centimeter is literally on the account. In addition, the necessary workspace in 120s is significantly less than that of other similar devices. That is, you need to observe a certain distance so that a person can work comfortably next to the MFP and to provide access to the device during service. In 120s, all major blocks are open up, so that when replacing the cartridge or eliminating a sular paper, none of the close-looking employees will be disturbed. Yes, and this procedure itself is quite simple to do without calling a specially trained person - however, now in most more or less compact MFPs, these procedures require minimal knowledge and effort. And one more point allows you to place this MFP close with workplaces - the air vent in it is done vertical, so that the warm air leaves the whole up and does not bother anyone.

And most importantly - what is the secret of the low cost of full-color fingerprints. First, 120c is used toner with low cost, secondly, the device is four-part. That is, only one photo is used for all four tons instead of the ordinary system "one toner cartridge + one photored". The use of one phototraban significantly reduces the cost of the imprint, because in this case it will have to replace one consumor instead of four. On the other hand, it can wear faster, because the load on it is also greater than in single-pass systems. But representatives of "MV" promise the high resource of their consumables, including this photobaban.

This device has another feature, not very necessary in office MFP - PictBridge interface for connecting digital cameras. In case, if anyone from the workers want to print their photos, but to mess with the transfer of files to the computer, and then the printer does not want. USB flash drives via this interface cannot be connected, it works exclusively with cameras.

The exact price of the apparatus could not find out - about 1000 dollars. But representatives of the company emphasized that he is 15% cheaper than similar MFPs of other manufacturers.

Two other MFPs, MB OfficeCenter 25C and 40C, belong to large office equipment for large working groups. In principle, they can be called mini-printing houses, especially since their functional is enough for this. The models are identical in technical characteristics and differ only in the speed of printing, which, by the way, is reflected in their names. OfficeCenter 25C prints and copies monochrome and color A4 pages at a speed of 25 ppm., And OfficeCenter 40c - 40 ppm.

The devices use a new polymerized toner, and oil does not apply oil in the consolidation system, thanks to which the prints are obtained by matte, close in quality to typographic.

On the devices there is a USB connector for flash drives, so documents can be scanned directly to removable drive. But the most pleasant thing in this connector is that you can also connect the keyboard through it to enter user data, electronic addresses etc.

Auto-samplers for scanning in these MFPs are non-obstructed, that is, bilateral documents do not turn over, which can be very important when processing dilapidated originals or originals on fine paper. And, of course, the scan speed is significantly rising.

Finally, both devices, and 25c, and 40c can be installed in the tandem and thus increase productivity. This process is quite simple - just two devices are connected to the local network, after which they work as one device.

The cost of devices, depending on the configuration, is: 25C - 7-7.5 thousand euros; 40C - 9.5-10 thousand euros.

Well, the most, probably, an interesting question for the Russian manufacturer of MFP - where and how are these devices produced? The company "MV" has a full cycle of production - from developing to sales and service. The devices are produced on rented lines on foreign, of course, factories, in particular, in Korea. Development of the device occurs in the office of the company. Engineers "MV", of course, do not invent MFPs again, they take on the basis of already existing devices and modify in accordance with their desires and capabilities of production lines. Consumables are manufactured according to the same scheme, but it is worth paying particular attention to the fact that all service MV is assumed to replace the cartridges including. Therefore, in retail sale, their consumables are not supplied, and those that can be found - fake. Alas, this trouble touches not only large western brands, and the domestic manufacturer has to participate in the raids in the Savelovsky market.

MV announced the establishment of a special price of MV 218 and MV printers 216. It is now possible to purchase MV 218 with standard toner and MV 216 complete with two additional toners at discounted prices.

MV 218 and MV 216 are compact inexpensive models of black and white printers.

These devices allow you to print with a resolution of 600x1200 dpi. Such permission, in combination with the language description language, POSTScript 3 (optional), provides the best quality and text, and photo image. The received prints are able to satisfy even the most demanding user. The MV 216 is equipped with a memory capacity of 8 MB, which can be increased to 40 MB. The memory capacity of MV 218, which in the standard is 16 MB, can be increased to 48 MB. A large amount of memory allows you to quickly process almost any tasks. The maximum print speed in both devices is 18 pages per minute, and the seal of the first page occurs in less than 7 seconds. MB 216/218 has a wide selection of paper feeding devices. The paper feeder is a standard tray with a capacity of up to 250 sheets and a manual feed tray that eliminates the possibility of paper cuts. The paper output is carried out either in the receiving tray of 150 sheets (front side down), or in the receiving tray by 50 sheets (front side up). In addition, it is possible to additionally equip the model to a multipurpose tray per 100 and a tray of 500 sheets. Printers allow you to use paper density from 60 to 120 g / m². It is necessary to note that the work on these devices will allow the user to save money, since both models have separate toner and photored, which reduces the cost of imprint. Consumables MW are simple and convenient to replace that the user can easily implement independently. Thanks to the built-in Russian fonts The MB 218/216 printer can print in Russian and from DOS applications, which makes this printer with a universal apparatus. Hardware Russification and support for emulation of matrix printers will also provide compatibility with old DOS programs.

MB, who has proven to be a reliable and responsible partner in the domestic market office equipmentNext year will celebrate the 15th anniversary of its successful activity. Over the years, the company was able to not just declare himself, but also to oppose weighty competitive advantages recognized global corporations.

Lagodarus that MB has a wide network of regional offices, the company offers its customers almost all over the country quality products and, importantly, guaranteed service. According to IDC, since 1998, the MV company is in the top three of the most popular brands of copying equipment in Russia, along with Canon and Xerox. It should also be noted the close and fruitful cooperation between MV with many large domestic enterprises, which are leaders of the sectors of the Russian economy, with federal ministries and departments, with leading foreign companies.

MV is constantly expanding, and a regular step was the decision to master new markets, which are confirmed by the plans to open the first representation of the company in one of the CIS countries in Ukraine. According to Dmitry Thin, the executive director of the MV, the company has accumulated a huge potential, allowing it to master new markets and develop its own network of representative offices outside Russia. Exit to the CIS office equipment market is a priority in the MV marketing strategy.

The range of products manufactured by products is represented not only by copying equipment, but also printers, multifunctional printing complexes, industrial printers, engineering systems, fax machines, as well as office furniture, climate appliances and office paper. Products of this company from the field of printed equipment almost completely covers all areas of this industry. The primary direction of MB is the provision of comprehensive decision-making solutions for large corporate customers. MB Marketing Strategy is aimed primarily to providing customers with the highest possible choice of products to solve various tasks. The main rate is made on the guaranteed quality of all products and services under the brand MB.

Following the global trends and taking into account the wishes of the customers to use the universal apparatus in the work, capable of performing all the basic functions of document management, combining a copier, printer and scanner, MB chose the development and release of multifunctional devices as the main direction. The outgoing year was marked by the output of a wide range of such devices, while a number of proposed equipment is intended for both small organizations and corporate clients and offices with a large document flow.

It is also worth noting that the company has allocated multifunctional devices In a separate line - OfficeCenter, which includes MFPs, designed not only for office use, but also for industrial replication.

And now better get acquainted with the new MB products from the OfficeCenter series.

In OfficeCenter 116 - optimal solution For the SOHO segment, and besides, this is the first product in the new lineup.

Unlike competitors, this apparatus has maximum functionality and has a rather low price. First of all, it is intended for use in a small office and provides the most frequently used features necessary for document management. With its small dimensions, this model is easy to operate and does not require special skills to work with it.

In the future, such devices must oust three devices from the market at the same time: a copier, scanner and printer that occupy much more place in the office and require frequent maintenance.

In the basic configuration of OfficeCenter 116, includes a monochrome laser printer A4 format, a copy machine and a scanner capable of printing and manufacturing black and white copies at a speed of up to 16 ppm, as well as scan color documents. Availability tablet scanner In all versions of the new device, almost all restrictions on the type of origin takes.

The MW OfficeCenter 116F model is equipped with a modem at a speed of 33,600 bits / s and, as most of these devices, has connectors for connecting to a computer via USB port and IEEE-1284 interface.

This multifunctional apparatus has in its composition not only a scanner with a resolution of 600 dpi, but also a printer that allows you to print originals with a resolution of up to 600 DPI, which is the undoubted advantage of OfficeCenter 116. According to the manufacturer's application, the warm-up time from OfficeCenter 116 is 25 seconds , and the release time of the first copy is 13 C, which is a good indicator for the devices of this class. The tank of the tray is 250 sheets, and the optional tray accommodates 500 sheets. There is also a manual feed for 10 sheets of paper with greater density.

Using the Optional Facsimm Module, the OfficeCenter 116F allows you to make fax data transmission via the Internet, as well as scanning the original with the transfer of the scanned image at the email address. It is worth noting that this model has a built-in basic memory with a capacity of 16 MB with the possibility of subsequent expansion up to 48 MB, and this allows you to expand functionality Devices.

The maximum resource of the device is designed for 150 thousand copies at a monthly load of 15 thousand copies, and the drum resource is 20 thousand copies. The toner resource is designed for 6 thousand copies, which is a very high indicator.

In general, MB OfficeCenter 116 is perfect for working in a small office and, it is important, can almost completely replace several devices at once.

fUNCTIONAL MV OFFICECENTER 316 and MB OfficeCenter 320 are primarily designed primarily for use in small and medium offices. Maximum print format of these devices - A3. Like most of these devices, they have rather small dimensions, but in this case in the basic configuration include not only a copy machine, but also a printer with a scanner. The difference between these devices consists in copying speed: OfficeCenter 316 it is 16 ppm, and from OfficeCenter 320 - 20 ppm.

MB OfficeCenter 316/320 devices are designed to perform various small business tasks. The resolution of these devices when printing and copying up to 600 dpi. The models are connected to the computer via the USB or IEEE-1284 interface. Built-in memory 16 MB allows you to use digital multiple printing technologies once a scanned document.

The warm-up time of these devices is no more than 45 s, while the yield of the first page will take just over 7 s. It is impossible not to say about the high density of media that can be used with these models, since due to the use new technology The density of originals reaches 200 g / m2. Paper feed tray is designed for 250 sheets, and optionally supplied additional tray per 100 sheets. Automatic paper feeder, installed as an option, significantly increases copy efficiency.

It is impossible to get around the attention and control panel, which is on the front of the machine and is a set of buttons and a liquid crystal screen. Use multiple functions of these devices is quite easy, since the menu structure is very simple and understandable even to the ordinary user.

In addition to automatic exposure adjustment, you can select two print modes: "Text" for text originals and "Photos" for photos. In each of these modes, five-level exposure adjustment is possible. Mode "Photo" allows you to get on copies sharp image with complex halftone originals, such as photos. In addition, the device carries out carpetting, autotlow trays, toner saving mode, disproportionate scaling in 1% increments.

Like most MFPs, this device allows you to print copies with simultaneous scanning of the original, which saves the time required for multiple scanning. The copier will be a good solution for the rapid and high-quality execution of operational black and white printed operations, and the built-in scanner will allow you to make more work.

at the same time, when the OfficeCenter 316/320 was released, MV brought to the market the OfficeCenter 420 multifunctional apparatus, the individual specifications of which are similar to the MV of OfficeCenter 320, and in addition, this device allows you to use electronic sorting capabilities, combining modes " 2 in 1 "and" 4 in 1 ", the edges of the edge / center and the edges shift. Like his younger brothers, OfficeCenter 420 allows you to print and copy with a resolution up to 600 DPI, and when scanning the resolution is 600-1200 PPI. Print speed of this model is 12 ppm when printing documents A4. In addition, using the Advanced Features Board of OfficeCenter 420 can print and scan documents of formats up to A3.

Built-in memory in the amount of 32 MB allows you to increase the print speed, and also provides the ability to print copies with a single scanning.

The scanner installed in this apparatus is full-color, which makes it possible to receive scanned images with a resolution of 600 dpi. To improve performance, a built-in sorter is designed, which at the output shifts relative to each other sets of works made by different users.

It must be said about the duplex module that comes in the basic configuration to this multifunctional device and allows you to significantly reduce the print time of bilateral documents.

MV OfficeCenter 420 has several features for connecting to a computer: in base version They are USB with a specification 1.1 and the PLAL IEEE-1284 interface, and the additional interfaces to OfficeCenter 420 are provided with a network interface 10 / 100Base-TX and USB 2.0 interface, and the use of the latter allows you to significantly increase the exchange rate between the computer and the MFP. Installing the network interface allows you to connect MFP directly to local networkAnd this makes it possible to scan over the network.

MV OfficeCenter 420 is completed by two trays with a capacity of 250 sheets and a manual feed tray per 100 sheets. Additional trays of 250 sheets are supplied as an option.

The resource of the device is designed for 900 thousand copies, when calculating a monthly load of 15 thousand copies. To facilitate the operation of the apparatus, the toner resource is significantly increased and designed for 16 thousand copies.

It is worth noting that the MV of OfficeCenter 420 successfully copes with the tasks that are mainly associated with copying, scanning and printing of documents of a small office, but other documents that contain more graphics can be printed on this device than text. Small dimensions high speed of work, as well as the presence of a two-way printing module and connecting to a PC, will definitely allow you to position the MV of OfficeCenter 420 as a device for small and medium-sized offices.

the model of the multifunction device is designed primarily for printing and copying in small and medium-sized offices. MV OfficeCenter 215 is a modern digital A4 format apparatus that performs the copy work of any complexity. Possessing all the advantages of modern office equipment, these devices occupy a minimum of workplace in the office.

A large amount of memory (192 MB) in a standard configuration provides high performance of these devices. To optimize work with significant amounts of documents, it is possible to install an automatic feeder of originals, and to increase the standard paper stock, you can install an additional tray by 500 sheets.

As standard interfaces in the basic configuration in this MFP, a network interface 10 / 100Base-TX is installed, as well as USB 2.0 interface. However, it is additionally possible to install not only the IEEE-1284 interface, but also Fireware (IEEE-1384), Bluetooth, and also gaining popularity Wi-Fi interface (IEEE 802.11b). The printer interface supports the most common page description languages \u200b\u200b- PCL 5E, PCL 6, RPCS and additionally PostScript.

A distinctive feature of the MV of OfficeCenter 215 is that this unit can already make bilateral copies of A4 format. Duplex, still allowed to work only with A3 format documents, has now become available for printing A4 documents. When printing without a duplex module, the vehicle speed is approximately 15 ppm. The resolution when copying 600 points per inch allows you to get high quality copies, and electronic sorting is to make several sets from a multi-page document. In the standard configuration, only MW OfficeCenter 215 has network scanning and scanning capabilities at e-mail. MV OfficeCenter 215 will help employees of offices solve the problem with sending scanned documents to the addressees.

In the standard configuration, this model comes with a tray designed for 250 sheets, but there is also the ability to install an additional tray for 500 sheets. In this case, the tray is designed to supply paper with a density of 60 to 157 g / m2.

This model is great for installation in a small office and completely replace the scanner and printer, while occupying a completely minor space.

OfficeCenter 427 is one of the latest developments of the company, which is a high-performance multifunctional device with high print resolution, designed to print a plurality of copies of A3 format. In basic configuration this device It has rather impressive dimensions.

As standard interfaces for connecting to a computer, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1284 interfaces are used in this model, and an optional 10 / 100Base-TX network interface is supplied as an option, which allows the local network users to print and scan with this unit without using PCs. Through a standard parallel port and USB 2.0 to the device, you can simultaneously connect two users, and due to the availability of the MW OfficeCenter 427 network interface, has the capabilities of scanning originals over the network with a download to the computer, on FTP and send an image by e-mail. Specifying the addressing addresses of the scanned document is carried out on the machine or on the computer. Press and copy resolution - up to 1200 dpi.

The memory of 32 MB, which relates directly to the MFP, has the ability to expand up to 1056 MB, which gives a tangible acceleration of the speed of work. The printer module is built-in and a special memory capacity of 64 MB to increase the print speed of large high-resolution images.

In order to increase productivity in the MW of OfficeCenter 427, the finisher is installed, which sorts or bonds ready-made output documents.

In the standard configuration, this product comes with a two-way copy device, which has a positive effect on the overall performance of the device, and also provides the convenience of printing bilateral documents. The copy / printing speed simply amazes - 27 ppm when printing a document A4.

Developed by engineers of the company, the automatic feeder significantly increases the efficiency of copying and scanning multi-page documents. The device has two basic tray designed for 500 sheets each, and a straight tray of paper with an increased density capacity of 100 sheets.

In addition, the device allows you to perform a number of additional functions - auto-scale, car tray, electronic sorting with a shift, independent scaling over the axes, combination, manual and automatic exposure, toner saving mode.

MB Officecenter 427 is an excellent tool for fast and high-quality printing and to copy black and white originals in a wide variety of printed centers and offices. High print resolution, excellent copy speed, full support for Adobe PostScript 3, as well as the ability to connect to a local network - All this makes this model very attractive for buyers.

owm Recently, MV entered the market with a new proposal - with a product of MV OfficeCenter 472, which is a high-performance complex for copying, network printing and scanning documents. When designing this device, advanced technologies for copying and printing were used.

Laser print in the office

Today, the laser printer is a practically mandatory and indispensable attribute of any office. The most active operating category of such devices belongs to the device scale devices. Such models have a print speed in the range from 15 to 35 ppm and mainly support network printing.

A feature of recent times has become a wide distribution of color laser printing devices. Scale of the working group. The process of substitution of monochrome apparatuses was especially active, then the price of the latter decreased significantly, and the cost and quality of black and white prints became almost identical. According to a number of analysts of the industry and specialists of manufacturing companies, this trend will continue.

Segment of colored laser printers in lately He became one of the most dynamically developing in the printer market, its share from year to year is constantly increasing. This is due to a number of interrelated causes. First, as a result of a noticeable reduction in prices for such devices, colored laser printers have become accessible and attractive for a larger range of users. Secondly, the volume of printing of various office documents in color (tables, graphs, presentations, reports, etc.) is growing. In addition, such devices provide high print quality, reliable in operation and allow you to get high-quality other documents in color.

For printer equipment, a working group category, an important role is played by such an indicator as the cost of printing. The main amount of printing in the office (90-95%) usually make up black and white documents. For their printing, a single monochrome printer, the cost of printing on which (not to mention the printers themselves) was lower than on color devices. Now the situation has changed - the cost of printing black and white documents on a color laser printer has become about the same as on the usual monochrome device of a similar class. So color laser printers today are capable of competing with their monochrome fellow in all respects.

Now consumers can only make their choice in the manifold of monochrome and color printing devices, the scale of the working group offered by many manufacturers.
