Canterbury Cathedral Archives is about to purchase a new reader-printer
and we have been doing some limited market research. If anyone has any
views on the pros and cons of particular models, we would be very
pleased to hear from them. Of particular concern are:-
Ability to cope with film and fiche, A4 and A3
Running costs, especially toner
Maintenance costs and ability to replace parts
Future-proofing - e.g. could copies be sent electronically to those
requesting copies by post, thereby saving toner costs
Purchase price
Its use by people with various disabilities
Recommendations or thoughts on this issue would be gratefully received.
If colleagues would like to reply directly to us rather than clogging up
the email system, we would be happy to provide a summary of comments for
list members if we receive tips that can usefully be shared.
Many thanks,
Heather Forbes and Cressida Annesley
