The most useful number when buying a copier for a Costa Mesa office is how many pages it will print each month; the counter on the current machine tells you. This page walks through how we match that number, and the paper sizes you use, to the right model for action sports and apparel companies and neighbouring businesses in South Coast Metro.

Choosing a model by monthly volume
We size a machine so your monthly volume sits in the middle of its recommended range, which keeps cost per page low and avoids paying for capacity you will not use. Paper size is the second decision: letter and legal only points to an A4 unit; anything tabloid points to A3.

Sold new and, where available, certified pre-owned to Costa Mesa offices with a 30-day warranty.
What a purchase includes
Every machine we sell, new or certified pre-owned, comes with delivery, installation, network and cloud setup, staff training and a 30-day parts and labor warranty. Returns within 30 days carry a 10 percent restocking fee. After the warranty you can add a maintenance agreement priced per page or pay for service as needed. Trade-ins are credited against the purchase, and the old machine leaves with its hard drive erased and documented.
Offices that print mostly forms and correspondence, common among healthcare practices, save with a monochrome unit at a lower price and cost per page. Marketing, proposals and client-facing material justify color. Stapling, hole punch and booklet finishers add $600 to $3,000 and are worth it when someone currently collates by hand. If volume spikes a few months a year, see the Costa Mesa sales and rentals page for owning a base machine and renting the overflow.
Printer Sales equipment for Costa Mesa offices
Eight models we place with action sports and apparel companies, marketing and design agencies and other Costa Mesa businesses. Each links to full specifications and current pricing.
Print the counter or usage report from your current machine; most models have it under a settings or reports menu. Compare this month with a busy month last year and we will size the replacement to that range.
Should a Costa Mesa office buy color or monochrome?expand_more
Buy color if you produce client-facing material, proposals or marketing in house. Buy monochrome if most output is forms, invoices and correspondence; the machine costs less and so does each page. Many offices run one of each.
What is the difference between A3 and A4 copiers?expand_more
A4 units print up to legal size (8.5 x 14 inches). A3 units print up to tabloid (11 x 17 inches) and usually add larger paper capacity and finishing options. If you never print tabloid, an A4 unit costs less to buy and run.
How quickly can equipment be delivered in Costa Mesa?expand_more
In-stock models ship from the Irvine staging hub, about 15 minutes away. Most deliveries inside Costa Mesa happen within the same week the agreement is signed, with delivery, installation and network setup included. Production units are scheduled and rigged on a set date.
Does the 4-hour service commitment cover Costa Mesa?expand_more
Yes. Costa Mesa is inside our Orange County service zone, so a technician reaches your office within four hours of a call during business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Maintenance agreements include parts, labor, toner and drums.
