Reasons to Hire a Professional for Printer Repair

Thinking of doing your own printer repair?

You might want to think again! Don’t just take our word for it. Here are two undeniable reasons why fixing your own printer is a bad idea.

First, you’re most likely unfamiliar with the parts you might need for a repair. While it’s possible to find parts online, knowing exactly what you need is easier said than done. Most parts are only compatible with certain brands and certain models. Additionally, product listings aren’t novice friendly, so it can be a challenge to figure out what you need. After all that, if you find the right parts, you’ll be paying a full retail price.

Second, you’ll probably void your warranty. If the issue you have turns out to be covered by warranty, you could lose a chunk of change there. Leave the printer repair to the professionals and you’ll keep your warranty intact. We’ll also be able to help determine if you can make a claim under warranty and hopefully save you money!

Leave the printer repair for your Ann Arbor business to us! 

We have the experience you need to get your machine up and running quickly while trying to keep costs down for you, too! Michigan Computer Supplies offers a variety of service options so you can put your printer frustrations in the past. Contact us today!

Fix Printer Issues Quick with Professional Printer Repair

Having trouble with your printer and not sure what to do next?

There’s nothing more frustrating than putting in hours of hard work on a project then stalling out on the last step: printing. Your printer shows an error message or simply fails, and you’re stuck. When you’re so close to the finish line, it can be tempting to try and repair the machine yourself. But are you really prepared? 

What’s the first thing you do when you open a new piece of tech or gadget? 

If your answer was “throw out the manual” then you definitely shouldn’t be attempting your own printer repair! Most people do the same thing, so it’s nothing to feel bad about, but if your printer manual landed in the trash years ago, you will basically be going in blind to any repair attempt.

Instead of struggling and scrambling to figure out your printer, leave the repair to professionals. At Michigan Computer Supplies, we know how printers work down to the smallest detail. We can diagnose common and complex issues quickly and fix them efficiently.

Three Reasons to Hire Professional Printer Repair in Ann Arbor

Are you hesitating to hire professional printer repair for your company printer? 

Are you considering trying to fix it yourself to save money, even if you have no printer repair experience? 

Here are three key reasons why professional repair is worth it:

1. Cost effective. It may cost you more money up front to hire professional printer repair than it would to try repairing it yourself, but it’s more cost effective in the long run. By choosing a professional repair, the printer will stay in optimum condition for much longer, meaning that you wouldn’t have to spend extra money trying to fix it repeatedly. 
2. Time saving. Professional printer repairmen know what they’re doing and can get it done in a timely manner; no need to take time from your own job to try to both diagnose AND fix the problem.
3. Precise, reliable service. Like people, different printers are built differently, and therefore need their own specific care techniques. Professional printer repairmen are well-versed in the needs of different printers, so you can be sure that the problem will be fixed long-term.

Pick Professional Printer Repair in Ann Arbor

Does your business rely heavily on printed paper copies?

Is it a catastrophe when your printer breaks?

It’s both time consuming and ineffective to try and fix a professional printer by yourself, if it’s not a normal part of your job. 

It’s understandable if you don’t want to spend the money to get it fixed, but here are a few reasons why that is the more effective option: the repair will last longer, it’s time saving for you, and the service is reliable and precise.

Printer Repair in Ann Arbor Can Help

If you need your company printer fixed, call Michigan Computer Supplies at (734) 213-5400 or contact us on our website for printer repair in Ann Arbor. Our printer technicians provide friendly, professional care, and will have your printer up and running in no time!

How to Choose the Right Printer Repair Company

Are printer issues slowing down your office?

Do you get tired of dealing with paper jams or streaky prints day after day?

If you’ve troubleshooted to the best of your ability but still aren’t able to fix annoying printer issues, it’s time to call the pros. How can you be sure the printer repair company you’re hiring is reputable and will fix the problem correctly the first time?

Make sure you ask your potential printer repair technician these questions:

• How many years of experience does your technician have? A trusted technician with a few years of experience under his or her belt is the right person to solve your printer issues.
• How much experience fixing your brand of printer does the technician have? In addition to years of experience, you want someone who is familiar with your brand of printer so they don’t run into any unforeseen issues.

MCS offers a $25 printer assessment. One of our technicians will diagnose the issue(s) and provide an estimated cost of repair. If the cost is not worth the labor rate, we’ll let you know so you don’t waste your money or your time. If we think buying a new printer is the best option for you, we’ll let you know about that too, and we can even make recommendations about how to go forward and what printer to choose.

Like cars, plumbing, or heating, it is difficult to find a printer repair center that can be counted on. If a machine is older or has a repair that would exceed the cost of replacement, we aren’t against telling you it's not worth the cost of fixing.

Printer Repair: Worth the Cost?

Before you make the decision to repair or replace your inkjet printer, ask yourself these questions:

• Have you been printing frequently?
• Is your printer still under warranty?
• Are you using an older model printer?
• How much is the hourly rate for printer repair services?

Printer Repair Service Checklist

Have you transitioned to working from home?

Working from home has its pros – no commute, sweatpants, endless coffee… but the cons include technology problems that you have to solve on your own with remote help from an IT person.

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.

Before you call a printer repair service or spend a lot of money to repair your printer, ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you have an inkjet printer costing $150 or less?
2. Could your printing needs be solved by a quick trip to the office?
3. Would replacing your printer for a higher quality machine be a better investment?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, hiring a printer repair technician to come to your home or bringing your inkjet printer to a repair shop might not be the best option.

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.

Home Printers: Worth the Repair Cost?

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?

Consider:

1. Age of your printer: Find out when the model was released, not just the date you purchased it. If you’ve had your printer for five years, for example, but it was released a few years prior, the overall age could impact its expected lifetime and accessibility of parts.
2. Cost per page: If you’re not using a managed print provider, you can find out the cost per page of your device by dividing the cost of a toner cartridge by the number of pages printed before needing to replace it. A newer model printer will often need a higher capacity toner cartridge, saving you money on overall printing spend. (If you’re considering a managed print provider, read more here!)
3. Labor costs for repair: 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.

Is Your Printer Worth the Expensive Repairs?

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

Additionally, many parts for home inkjet printers are just not available, making the process moot.

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. 

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.

Repair or Replace: Ask Yourself These Questions

Are you trying to decide if your home or office printer is worth repairing? Does your printer still fit your needs, or do you think you need to buy a new one?

With more and more of us working from home these days, it’s not surprising that more of us are investing in computers, printers, and other office equipment. If you print often throughout the day, you know how frustrating it can be to have printer issues, especially when you’re not in a big office with other printers to choose from.

However, the right printer can be a big expense. It’s tempting to continue repairing an older printer, but you could be throwing money away! How do you know if it’s time to replace your printer? How long do inkjet printers last? 

Read our recommendations for printer repair on our website!

Like cars, plumbing, or heating, it’s difficult to find a printer repair center that can be counted on. Don't you wonder if what is done was completely necessary, because it always seems to cost more? At MCS, we do only what is necessary. If a machine is older or has a repair that would exceed the cost of replacement, we aren’t against telling you it's not worth the cost of fixing.

Nationwide Service with a Local Feel

Let’s face it – Amazon, eBay, and other online retailers have stepped up their game in the last few years, and many people have really come to depend on quick delivery for important items for their business. 

You rely on fast shipping and competitive pricing, and we can help provide that plus the customer service you likely won’t experience at a big box store or online retailer. 

We want to be more than just your printer repair company. We want to help you with all of your business needs! One way you can find more value from working with us is through our Everyday Essentials program, where we’ll help you find those office items that might otherwise be in short supply. 

We also spend professional development time each week networking and developing relationships with other small businesses in our community. Chances are we know and trust someone that may be able to help you with insurance, business banking, office renovation, party planning, marketing, and more.

Here are the benefits you’ll enjoy as a local MCS customer:

• Our local compatible toner customers enjoy FREE cleanings and routine maintenance. This means you will never have to struggle with nor pay for the installation of fusers, maintenance kits, transfer belts, or other consumable components in your machine. 
• Copy paper, specialty paper, engineering rolls, point of sale rolls, and labels are all available with FREE on demand delivery in the Ann Arbor Area. If your business uses an item that is not regularly stocked locally, we will keep a small stock on hand at all times for you so you are never in a panic over a 2-week lead time.  You will never pay additional shipping charges and we are happy to deliver directly to any specific location in your building.

Choose a Local Company for Printer Repair

When you need help with tech issues like a malfunctioning printer, we know how frustrating it can be to spend hours on hold with the manufacturer, or deal with long shipping delays.

These days, the supply chain is unreliable at best. What might typically be a three- to four-day shipping window may now be over a week, and when you need ink and toner or other printer supplies for your business, you might not have time to wait. 

Even worse, if you’re waiting on parts for a repair, you’re dead in the water until your printer can be fixed.

Have you considered choosing a local company for printer supplies and repair? 

Partnering with a local company a great decision not just to help you save money. The relationship you form with a company that’s more than just a big brand name will benefit your own business for years to come.

Why Hire Professional Printer Repair?

If you have a business-class printer, you’ve probably also had issues with your printer jamming or other issues at the most inopportune times.

We put our business printers through the ringer on a daily basis, so it makes sense that they need a little more TLC to keep working reliably over time.

What are your options when your printer displays a dreaded “error” message?

You could fix it yourself, but if you don’t repair it correctly, it could cost you more money in the long run. The other option is to hire a professional company for printer repair.

What goes into a printer assessment when the professionals are called? At MCS, we have a solid process that takes into account the price and value of your machine vs. the cost of labor. Here’s how it works:

If you think your printer needs repairs, 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.
