And although they cost slightly more than a top inkjet or laser printer, often you will be able to find copiers which double up as a both a photo printer and copier. Photocopiers are more likely to break down than regular copy machines due to the high volume of printing, they nonetheless remain a good investment.

1. Image Fuzziness

A common complaint among certain individuals is how the image can appear fuzzy and may not provide them with the quality they are looking to have in their pictures. If you are encountering this image fuzziness, you might have to change the quality of the paper or ink that you are using, and in some instances, you might have to clean your ink heads and rollers.

Not using the correct kind of printer paper could cause a photocopier to jam, especially if it is of cheap quality that may have a residue from the creation process, which can then get on the rollers and the print head. This can lead to paper jams, damage to the heads, and even an overheating of the photocopier which may cause it to shut down.

3. Cheap Ink Causing Erroneous Errors

Although cheap ink might keep costs down, the results could be a lower quality print, leaking ink across your rollers, jammed paper, and delays in time sensitive projects. Other factors that may result due to using cheap ink is that there is a film which builds up over time within the inside of your photocopier. If this is not taken care of with regular maintenance, the result could be damage to your costly photocopier, which will cost you a fair amount out of your wallet in order to have it fixed by a professional.
