Home Printer: Repair vs. Replace?

Now that we’re all spending more time at home and our kitchens and dens have transitioned into home offices, you might be noticing that your home inkjet printer isn’t as up to par as you thought it was.

How do you know if you should spend the time and money to hire a printer repair service, or if you should just replace your machine?

Not only do we offer the friendliest printer repair service in Ann Arbor, but we practically make it a “no-brainer,” because when you purchase compatible toner cartridges from MCS, your labor is FREE for toner-related problems.

Thankfully, printers are typically very low maintenance.  You’ll usually just need to replace the consumables, such as toner, fusers, and drums.  Occasionally, you may also need to replace parts such as rollers and drive gears (which pick up blank paper and deliver the printed paper into the tray).

We truly care about the Ann Arbor community and want to continue to build relationships with small businesses and non-profit organizations.  We have the ability to help you with all your computer, labeling, and printing needs, including on location printer repair service in Ann Arbor and the surrounding area.

Contact us today to discuss your needs and to schedule a checkup for your printer.  We can also serve your toner needs.  Check out a sample of our competitive prices!

Home Printer Worth Repairing?

Do you have a home printer that never seems to work correctly?

Do you spend more time fixing paper jams and streaky ink than you do printing documents you need for work or school?

Do you want to hire a professional repair service but aren’t sure it’s worth the investment? We can help. MCS often helps homeowners with repair issues, but sometimes it’s a better use of your time and money to replace your machine for one that will work better for your needs. How do you know what to do?

While some repairs can be done on site, others will require parts and a technician. When labor costs are involved, the bill for repair can quickly skyrocket. When deciding whether to repair or replace your printer, consider the total costs of replacement parts and labor.

We know repairs are sometimes the only choice for those of us working at home, and if you feel a replacement isn’t the right choice, we can do a $25 printer assessment to determine what your next steps should be.

Need a Printer Repair Service? Read this First

If you own or manage a business that relies on multiple printers, you know how much of an expense your equipment, toner cartridges, and paper can be. You also know what a pain it is when you and your staff aren’t able to print.

Working from home presents a new set of challenges! Your home printer is probably not used to be used as frequently or in such high volumes as you’re using it now. If you’re having issues, how do you take care of your machine?

Take care of your investment and schedule service as soon as your printer shows signs of a problem. Kyle Miller, our resident printer expert, says, “In my opinion, it is good practice to have your laser printers serviced every year, even when nothing is wrong with them.”

MCS recommends choosing the right printer for your needs, whether that’s only printing once every few days, or printing several documents every hour. The type of printer you need and the quality of printer necessary will depend on how often you use it, and what you’re using it for. Read more about how to choose the right printer here!

If you think your home printer is worth having serviced, MCS is ready to help!  Instead of paying for a full hour of service to simply have your printer looked at, MCS offers a $25 printer assessment fee.  Our technician will diagnose the issues and let you know if the machine can be fixed along with an estimated cost of repair, including parts and labor.  When a repair does make sense, MCS will apply this $25 printer assessment fee toward the first hour of labor.

Printer Repair Service Checklist: Read Before Hiring the Pros

Have you noticed your printer making strange noises lately?

Do you see inappropriate blurred lines or fonts?

Is your printer chewing up paper and spitting it out?

You could try contacting your printer’s manufacturer for help.  Unfortunately, they could tie you up on the phone for hours or take weeks to answer your email.  Wouldn’t you prefer having a friendly technician come to you to help with your printer repair service in Ann Arbor?

If you have printer issues, that can be a whole other level of frustration, especially if your home printer isn’t suited to the high volume you might have been printing on your business-class machine at your office.
