One of the most common questions we receive is “what is the best copier on the market?”  Unfortunately, no single manufacturer holds the title to being “the best”.  Everyone in the industry will have their personal preferences that will bias their opinion, but if you ask half a dozen different people in the industry, you will most likely get half a dozen different answers.
