Do You Know Your Copy Machine History?

In an age where gadgets are commonplace, and the next-best-version rolls out before you’ve seen the first model, it’s refreshing to stop and smell the toner. You’ve printed those urgent reports, distributed them, and won the day: But do you know how it all came together? Here at World Trade Copiers, we’d like to think we’re history buffs in our area of expertise. So we’d like to share a little Copy Machine History 101: How Does a Copy Machine Work?

Welcome to your first, short lesson in xerography! (That’s copy lingo for the “dry photocopying.”) This will be fun, I promise. If you’ve ever wondered how a clean sheet transforms to a photo copy in mere seconds, here’s the breakdown: It’s a five-step technology patented in 1942.

Step 1: Charging
A wire surging with electricity charges a round drum made out of a material that’s photoconductive (receptive to currents when exposed to light).

Step 2: Exposure
The original copy is illuminated by a strong bulb, which reflects onto the drum. The drum picks up the whites of the page are picked up by the drum conductively, while the writing or dark figures on the page remain as negatives. The drum now carries an electrical imprint of the page.

Step 3: Developing
As the image or words on the drum remain negatively charges. As toner is positively charged, it is electromagnetically attracted to the imprint of these negatively charged surface area.

Step 4: Transfer
The drum, now with toner, rolls the pattern of toner onto a clean sheet of paper.

Step 5: Fusing
A quick blast of heat and another roll bonds the toner to the paper. Voila! A copy machine duplicate is born.

Why Copier Rentals Make more Sense for your Business

You’ve been eyeing that new business copier you saw in the in-flight magazine every day since you came back from that sales call in Phoenix. So why haven’t you “pulled the trigger” yet and bought this fully-loaded, feature-rich copier of the future? The answer is because times are tight, and the idea of spending thousands of dollars on a business copier may simply not be a reality.

Luckily, there is a cost-effective option to purchasing a business copier: copier rentals!
There are a number of key advantages to copier rentals, including:

• Cost. These are turbulent times, and if your budget for next quarter doesn’t allow for a top business copier, you can simply cease renting until things start to pick up once again.
• Flexibility. Just because you’ve got the latest copier technology today, doesn’t mean that there isn’t a better, more efficient product about to be released to the public. By renting a copier, you can always be in a position to upgrade.
• Service and convenience. When you rent a copier, you’ve got a service staff on-call that can come in and fix problems and perform regular copy maintenance.

World Trade Copiers is New York’s favorite destination for business copier sales and copier rentals. Why? Because the expert staff at World Trade Copiers knows how to match your business with a copier perfectly suited to meet your needs. Visit www.worldtradecopiers.com today for more information.

Analog, Digital and your Office Copy Machine

We’ve come a long way since this:



Still, one of the main questions when buying a copier is whether you should buy a digital copier or analog machine. No longer: the answer now is a resounding "digital."

You see, it makes little sense to buy analog copiers as most manufacturers have stopped introducing new analog models, and there is only a small price difference between analog and digital copiers with similar features.

There are many advantages of moving to digital machines:

• They combine the functions of copiers, network printers, and fax machines
• Fewer moving parts means less mechanical breakdowns
• Less noise makes for a quieter business environment
• They are better in reproducing fine lines and photographs

It seems though that some people still like the simplicity of old fashioned analog copiers - true they can be simpler to operate, with just one button to press in order to make a copy. However, with even minimal training, your staff will quickly get used to operating a digital machine and your office copying needs will take less time and save you more money.

Oh, and remember to be nice to your new digital copier - it can do this:

4. What type prices do you get on service, support or supplies?
5. How many copies do you make per month?
6. Can I reach the customer service department from the dealer by phone and email?
7. Is the dealer listed with the Better Business Bureau?

Why You Should Outsource Your IT

Sometimes hiring a fulltime or part time IT staff is not feasible, it’s not affordable, and it’s just not the right time to try it. That's why outsourcing your IT support services can be the next great idea.

So what can you expect when you outsource IT?

1. Hardware support for all your hardware needs including installations, troubleshooting and repairs.

2. Software support for operating systems, system optimization, installation and troubleshooting can also be outsourced. This is also great because most companies will also provide you consulting whenever you are interested in getting new software.

3. With networking support, an outsourced company will plan, install and troubleshoot wired networks and internet connections.

4. Virus, spyware and adware removal and repair can also be outsourced. IT support services can remove, repair damaged systems and install free software to keep you protected.

5. Data backup and recovery services will keep your system safe in case of a crash. This includes recovering lost data and any important data that you may have lost and corrupt hard drives.

What is Document Management

In today's day and age, document management is a must for large and small businesses alike. Back in 2003 when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, hundreds of businesses found themselves in a tough predicament... the loss of all their documents.

The correctional facilities had no records of prisoners and the city hall basement documents were flooded... as a result many prisoners were unaccounted for. This story was repeated constantly from law firms to retailers who had lost everything.

Document management is another option to safely store your documents in case of a disaster and should be a part of every businesses disaster plan. With World Trade Copiers can save you lots of time and headache by allowing us to provide you with easy to use online file storage through archiving. Now you can search and access millions of documents and never have to worry about the next disaster.
