For a team that copies, prints and scans in colour, and sometimes reaches for A3, here is a machine worth weighing up. One to consider is the Toshiba e STUDIO 3505AC, an A3 colour photocopier that Toshiba rates at 35 pages a minute. You can have it renewed, close to new; refurbished, the grade most customers choose; or used, for the lowest outlay. Whichever it is, the page count comes in writing first.
Within Toshiba's e STUDIO 5005AC series, the e STUDIO 3505AC (released 2016) is the option at 35 pages a minute. Sister models and their A4 speeds: e STUDIO 3005AC (30), e STUDIO 4505AC (45) and e STUDIO 5005AC (50). According to Toshiba, it reads both sides of a double sided original in one pass, at as many as 240 images a minute, has room for 1,200 sheets (or 3,200 with extra paper options) and copes with card stock to 280 gsm.
e STUDIO 3505AC, 35 pages a minute in colour: checked, graded and looked after by us.
As published by the maker. Each one is checked over, and you see its page count before you commit.
It makes most sense for an office of somewhere between five and fifteen staff. Toshiba puts its ceiling at 210,000 pages in a month; few offices come anywhere near that. Expecting more staff? The same family's e STUDIO 4505AC lifts the speed to 45 pages a minute. If your team prints less, compare it with the e STUDIO 3005AC, which manages 30 pages a minute.
Secondhand, the e STUDIO 3505AC comes in whichever grade suits your budget: renewed, refurbished or used. We check each one and give you its page count in writing. Rental or finance terms stretch to 60 months where the machine's age allows, and buying outright is always an option. The price covers delivery, setup on your network, scanning setup and a run through for your team.
We only sell machines we can service, so every secondhand e STUDIO 3505AC we supply can go straight onto a service agreement, with toner, parts and repairs at a set cost per page and a replacement if it fails. Rental on selected machines is from $15 a week plus GST, approval permitting.
Every one has a page of the maker's specifications. Ask about any and we will check what is available.
Describe the work the machine has to do, or name the model you want. We will come back with two or three that suit, each priced in writing, and the decision stays with you.

Keen on the Toshiba e STUDIO 3505AC?
Tell us a little about your business. The reply, in writing, says if one is on hand, how many pages it has printed and what it costs. Every Gold Coast enquiry gets an answer the same business day it arrives.
Any machine we look after on a service agreement comes under our replacement warranty, whatever its age and however you paid for it. Rented, leased, financed or bought outright, new or secondhand: if it fails, we replace it. Cover runs for the whole term of the agreement, through to its final month.
The maker's warranty on a new copier normally lasts 12 months and takes in the hardware; consumables are not part of it. Past that first year, your protection comes from the service agreement. Every detail of the replacement warranty is set down in your agreement.
Every machine is different, so you get its exact page count in writing before you buy. That number says far more about wear than the year it was built.
It comes down to your workload. At 35 pages a minute against 45, the two suit different team sizes; send a headcount and a rough monthly page count and we will recommend the better fit.
Yes, subject to approval. Rental is one regular payment under a business agreement running for a term the machine's age allows, up to 60 months, and at the end you upgrade to a newer machine or hand it back. Selected machines can be rented from $15 a week plus GST.
Questions about a machine, a quote or the agreement you are on now, answered by someone with decades in the trade. Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Every Gold Coast enquiry gets an answer the same business day it arrives.
