Great savings with Xerox supplies
Don't be fooled by the price, all toner is not equal
Reports from leading analytics laboratories Spencer Group and Buyers Lab Inc. (BLI) give resounding evidence that buying Xerox supplies will save you money and time. In tests, compatible supplies not only produced poorer image quality and lower yields, they also had serious faults that could damage the printer leading to costly repairs or replacement.
Plus Xerox also provide supplies for other printers including HP, Brother, Oki and Kyocera. These consumables are made to the same exacting Xerox standards and provide better or equal page yields and come with an unconditional, lifetime guarantee.
Using Xerox supplies saves your customers money:
- Up to 29% better page yields with Xerox supplies for Xerox printers
- 25-40% cost savings when your customers buy Xerox supplies for non-Xerox printers

Why quality matters
Why print quality matters
Customers expect flawless print quality and extremely reliable devices. The Xerox Equipment Lifetime Warranty which is now available on many colour products underscores this commitment to quality, as does the warranty Xerox offers on its supplies.
All Xerox branded laser toner cartridges and solid inks for Xerox machines are warranted for the life of the consumable item. Plus, Xerox supplies for other brand printers have a 100% guarantee – meaning they can be replaced at any point. And, the third party printer warranty remains valid too. Now that's a unique selling point you can pass onto your customers.
Fact: Xerox supplies are 100% better than 'bargain' brands!
Buyers Lab Inc. (BLI) has revealed the truth about 'bargain' brand toners. The globally respected independent research house put some so–called 'clones' to the test, with horrifying results. In recent tests, Top Print and Colour Soft print cartridges caused:
- Catastrophic printer failure
- Hundreds of euros' worth of damage to printers
- Severe downtime leading to major loss of productivity
- Up to 59% lower page yield than Genuine Xerox toner
- Mottling and severe toner flaking on printed output
Four dangers of rip-off cartridges, they:
- Can contain toxic chemicals which could damage your health
- Have a high failure rate of up to 95%* meaning you pay more for supplies in the long run
- May cause irreparable damage to your printer costing you both money and time with lost productivity
- Produce up to 50%* fewer pages per cartridge, you'll need to order double the supplies!

Terms are found here. Applies only to specific equipment and supplies purchased during the period stated in the Terms in United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland from Xerox or its reseller in those locations. Supplies must be sourced from within the EEA and Switzerland. Eligible equipment's lifetime is determined by Xerox (may end after pagecount reached, or due to working condition and product obsolescence).

Social Media
Social media tip sheets
We all know that without posting regular messages on our social media networks we're not communicating with a huge proportion of our potential customer base. But creating content takes time. That's why Xerox provide a comprehensive series of Social Media Tip Sheets with sample posts for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. These helpful resources contain links to videos, images and other collateral to make your posts stand out from the crowd. Download the toolkit for tips on Equipment and Supplies.
Blogs for your customers
Blogs are another great way of keeping in touch with your customers, without the hard sell. But, again, it's time consuming and sometimes difficult to keep coming up with new topics and content. Take advantage of the wealth of blogs and re-post, re-work to keep your customer dialogue going. Note the SMB and Simplify Work blogs in particular.
