The Real Cost of Outdated Office Equipment (And How to Fix It)

Holding onto old office equipment might seem like a good way to save money, but in reality, it could be costing your business more than you think. From frequent breakdowns to higher energy consumption, outdated printers and copiers can hurt productivity and increase expenses over time.

At Coastal Copy, we help businesses assess their printing needs and provide cost-effective technology solutions that actually improve workflow.

Hidden Costs of Outdated Office Equipment

If your office equipment is more than a few years old, here’s what it might be costing you:

✔ Frequent maintenance and repairs – Older printers and copiers require constant servicing, leading to unexpected expenses and downtime.
✔ Slower print speeds – A sluggish machine wastes time, reducing employee efficiency and frustrating your team.
✔ Security vulnerabilities – Older devices often lack modern security features, putting sensitive data at risk.
✔ Increased supply costs – Older printers are less efficient with ink and toner, meaning you’re spending more on consumables.
✔ Higher energy consumption – Newer office equipment is designed for efficiency, using less power and cutting down on your electricity bill.

How to Fix It
