If I should double my printer, which means same brand and toners etc., I need to invest another almost $1000. Should I? Do you think we will still be busy long enough after the interest rate started to go up?
Liked what you shared. I donât know why, but still with reserves for Brother 6700 . Looks small and who knows how much ink will eat. Nobody mentioned about it.
Iâm leasing a printer for $129 a month with maintenance and toner included in the price. This includes 2000 pages per month, each additional page is .01.
Anyone in the Baltimore Maryland area needing a quick print job, âif their printer goes downâ, just hit me up. Youâre welcome to come print out your order.

No offense but that lease fee is insaneâŠyou could buy one for less than 3 monthâs lease and have no limits on printing. 2000 pages a month is nothing for a full time signing agent or even a part time one with good connections. Youâre being ripped off and losing money in the process

The rip-off comes from having to go through three or more printers in a year because of the volume of printing that is most likely to break down a printer that is not built to handle the volume. Not to leave out the toner cost! With free maintenance and free toner, I think I will be coming out on top.
I will re-examine after a year
Let say I work 10 months and do 30 signings per month = 300 signings each 250 pages = 75000 pages if I have 10x2000-20000 free=55000 and each is 0.01=$550 + rental expense of 129x12=1548.
Sounds absolutely reasonable and low in price. A good printer costs around $700 and with a second tray might be more and you need many quality cartridgesâ to go over this 75k printed pages 15,000 pages per one expensive cartridgesâ =5 min x 260=$1300 , so rosem_townsend might be right! The total without changing a drum is above $2000 or let say it another way: from 10 months, I work 1 months for my printer.
It might work for full time SAs, but for me it would be tossing money away. I do part time, and Iâm very flexible since I have my other job that is my main source of income. Still, I agreed with @LindaH-FL while it might not be the offer for every SA. Last year I bought 2 printers, less than $700 both of them, and I already got my money back from doing part time signings.
@Denisa Register for EC Purchasing. Itâs a free membership. You will get a discount card for Office Depot/Office Max and Kinkos. The price to print is 0.02 a copy. That will make your documents come to $3. I have it for backup.

Thank you Denisa, I did it. Hope it will work.

The funny part in my adventure as a signing agent is, that I work part time to make my main income (45 days last year) and I work almost full time to make my part time income as a SA (incomewise). So I am looking how to optimize this SA adventure, but no way to reach what my main business is giving me.
