bizhub 287 — common questions
How much does the Konica Minolta bizhub 287 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 287 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 287 built for?
It suits small to medium offices, recommended around 13,000 pages a month with headroom up to 28,000. If you need less volume, the 227 costs less to run; for more, the 367 is the next step up. Tell us your monthly page count and we’ll recommend honestly rather than overselling.
Does the bizhub 287 print and copy up to A3?
Yes — it handles paper from A6 up to A3, so it covers everyday A4 printing and larger A3 documents on the same machine.
