In a groundbreaking move that promises to revolutionize the copy machine industry in Japan, Sagasu Co., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the launch of the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E786dn. This modern A3 color multifunction device marks HP's first significant entry into the Japanese market, a move that many are dubbing as the arrival of a "black ship" that challenges long-standing industry practices.
For years, Japanese offices have accepted costly maintenance contracts as a necessary component of copy machine usage. However, the HP E786dn disrupts this norm by offering an astonishingly low running cost that is less than a third of what businesses typically experience.
Modern Features and Cost Efficiency
The innovative E786dn operates on a toner purchase model that eliminates the burdens of counter-based billing systems, traditionally a headache for many businesses. With its large-capacity toner bottles, this device achieves dramatic cost reductions, including a mere 4.6 yen per color print and just 0.49 yen for monochrome, giving businesses a compelling reason to rethink their current setups.
To put this into perspective, a company that previously spent around 18,000 yen monthly on printing (at rates of 15.0 yen per color page and 2.0 yen per monochrome page) can now expect to pay only 5,335 yen with the HP E786dn. This amounts to a staggering 12,665 yen monthly savings—over 70% reduction in printing costs. This incredible saving means that for many businesses, switching to this new model could lead to a lower total cost of ownership compared to maintaining older models.
Robust Support and Assurance
Addressing any hesitations about utilizing a less expensive model, the HP E786dn comes standard with a five-year on-site service plan, ensuring users will not have to worry about unexpected maintenance costs. The plan includes the replacement of costly components commonly charged to users, such as the photoconductive drum, providing a comprehensive safeguard against unforeseen expenses.
High Performance for Busy Offices
Beyond its cost-saving features, the E786dn is engineered to handle high-volume printing demands without sacrificing speed or quality. Capable of printing up to 35 pages per minute and designed for durability of up to 1.2 million pages, it is perfectly suited to meet the needs of bustling office environments. Its automatic document feeder (ADF) supports one-pass double-sided scanning, streamlining document digitization and management processes.
Conclusion
The introduction of the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E786dn is poised to challenge Japan’s copy machine conventions and offer businesses an opportunity to drastically reduce operational costs while maintaining high productivity. Sagasu Co. representatives emphasize their excitement in bringing this strategic machine, which they believe will enable companies to enhance their competitiveness and operational efficiency.
