In the past customers always considered they needed an A3 Copier. However,
according to a recent report *, just 2.35% of the total page volume printed is on
A3 paper. Given that the average office worker produces 8,636 pages a year,
just 202 pages are A3, which is less than a page a day. Because people are
moving towards scanning and printing original documents, which can be
scaled to fit the paper size available, the need for A3 output has declined.
Just think. When is the last time you copied or printed on an A3 Copier?
Office space is also a big issue. In general, A3 centric copiers occupy
more office space. Typically, the footprint of a mono A3 capable device is much
larger than that of an A4 device, 70%* larger by volume on average.
An A3 device takes up a lot of space with its console. But an A4
device only needs the corner of your desk or room.
In terms of TCO then generally, the A3
copier is more expensive to pur-
chase and maintain than an A4
MFP.
The premium is between 100%
and 220%* depending on the manufac-
turer. Also the cost of a maintenance kit
for an A3 copier is 26%* higher than that
of an A4.
Finally, an A3 capable MFP device
consumes more operating power
and cost as the fuser unit is 41%
larger.
It doesn’t matter if an A4 or A3 page is
being printed because the whole fuser unit
is heated up.
