Total Cost of Ownership

TCO stands for Total Cost of Ownership. It describes the total amount your organisation will pay over the life of a printer to cover items such as toner, maintenance kits and servicing as well as purchase price. 

The long-life, low-waste design of Kyocera printers means their running costs are unbeatable because you only replace the toner cassette when the toner runs out.  As an added bonus, the long-life, low-waste design improves your organisation’s ecological performance and promotes sustainable business practices.  Both you and the environment benefit.

Our cost calculators allow you to see just how much you could save.

See What a Difference TCO Can Make

The table below compares a Kyocera machine against one of its equivalents in the market, to highlight the difference TCO can make to your overall costs.  In this example over the lifetime of the printer the difference in cost of ownership is huge, the Kyocera is almost half the cost of the equivalent other brand.

Simply by spending less on consumables you have more to buy the real essentials.  What could you use that money for?

But it's not just TCO that should be taken into account. Efficiently managing how you use your printers can increase your savings even further.
