bizhub 227 — common questions
How much does the Konica Minolta bizhub 227 cost in South Africa?
Pricing depends on your monthly print volume and whether you lease or buy outright. We quote both side by side so you can compare the total cost over the contract term. Send us your monthly page count and we’ll come back with a firm figure.
Can I lease the bizhub 227 instead of buying it?
Yes — most of our customers lease, with the machine, toner and servicing bundled into a single monthly cost. We’ll quote lease and purchase side by side so you can compare the total cost over the term rather than just the upfront number.
What monthly print volume is the bizhub 227 built for?
It suits smaller offices with lighter A3 volumes, recommended around 10,000 pages a month with headroom up to 19,000. If you need more speed or volume, the 287 or 367 are the next step up. Tell us your monthly page count and we’ll recommend honestly rather than overselling.
Does the bizhub 227 print and copy up to A3?
Yes — it handles paper from A5 up to A3, so it covers everyday A4 printing and larger A3 documents on the same machine.
