What kind of photocopiers are used in most offices?
When you need to move your office or change the location of your equipment, it’s important to know that different types of copiers and printers have different moving requirements. Whether you have an inkjet printer, a laser printer or an industrial copier, each device requires specific handling and transportation to avoid long-term damage.
Discover the 4 main types of printer:
- inkjet printer – An inkjet printer is a type of printer that sprays meticulously sculpted inks to print images and characters. It includes an ink cartridge that is placed inside the printer and is extremely convenient compared to other desktop printers available on the market. What’s more, these printers are synonymous with quality and accuracy, delivering incredible results for documents, images and other printed products.
- Laser printers – Laser printers offer higher resolutions and sharper images than inkjet printers. Print speed and productivity are also generally faster, making corporate and commercial printing faster and more accurate. In addition, laser printers require large toner cartridges for prints that tend to last much longer than those made with an inkjet printer. Laser printer technology is the ideal companion for high-impact documents that need to be distributed quickly and professionally.
- thermal printer – Thermal printers use heat to create labels, tickets and other printed media. The printer transfers dots of heat to create a specific pattern, printing images or text onto paper. Thermal transfer printer mechanisms use their “thermal” quality to print on a variety of materials, including paper, synthetics, glass and even metal! The resulting prints vary in quality and clarity, but one of the advantages of this type of printer is a vivid, fade-resistant color profile. But every print from a thermal printer appears bold, with smudge-free text – perfect for barcodes printed for inventory!
- the three-dimensional (3D) printer – This is an emerging technology that brings ideas to life. You can imagine a complex object and print it in minutes. It creates products by layering materials to form a 3D object. A 3D printer is a game-changer for industry: the possibilities are endless! From everyday toys to prostheses, spare parts, works of art and cookie decorations, the 3D printer offers the precision and creativity that make it so revolutionary.
Some well-known retailers offer reputable products at attractive prices. Staples, Costco, Walmart and Best Buy offer a mix of the latest printing technologies, with trusted brands like HP, Epson and Canon.
Moving procedure for commercial photocopiers at Demenagement Cargo Transport
Moving a commercial photocopier, especially a heavy model weighing between 600 and 900 pounds, requires meticulous preparation and careful execution to ensure the safety and integrity of the equipment. Here are the steps typically followed by our specialized printer moving company:
- Assessment and planning: Our assessment and planning process does not require on-site visits. Instead, we ask our customers to send us photos or videos of the premises, including the spaces and staircases involved. This method allows us to ensure proper preparation and a moving strategy tailored to each situation.
- Preparing the photocopier: The photocopier is carefully prepared for the move. This includes securing the moving components and applying protections to prevent damage. It is important to note that our company does not take responsibility for cartons, pallets or any other waste associated with a new photocopier received by the customer.
- Use of Specialized Equipment for Printer Removal: Specialized tools and equipment are used for lifting and transporting the photocopier, including reinforced carts and lifting harnesses, ensuring safe handling.
- Maneuvering up and down stairs: When moving up and down stairs, especially those that turn, a specific technique is applied. This includes the use of moving boards to create a stable surface over which the photocopier can be carefully slid, and the use of coordinated lifting techniques to navigate tight turns without risk of damage or injury.
- Transport and securing: The photocopier is transported in a specially adapted vehicle, where it is securely lashed down to prevent any unwanted movement during transport.
- Unloading and installation: At destination, the photocopier is unloaded with the same care and installed according to the customer’s specifications, ensuring that the equipment is operational and correctly positioned.
- Final check: After installation, a complete check of the copier’s condition and functionality is carried out to ensure customer satisfaction.
- Cleaning up after printer relocation: Our team ensures that the workspace is clean after installation, while remembering that we do not manage the disposal of packing materials such as cartons or pallets associated with new photocopiers.
By following these steps, our company is committed to providing a safe and efficient moving service for heavy photocopiers, taking into account site specifics and customer needs, while respecting our environmental policy regarding waste.

Practical tips to make the photocopier removal process easier for yourself
Dismantling a photocopier for a move requires caution and a certain methodology to avoid damage to the machine or personal injury. Here are the general steps to follow, but don’t forget to consult the manufacturer’s manual for instructions specific to your model:
- Unplug the unit: Make sure the photocopier is completely switched off and unplug it from the power supply.
- Remove consumables: Remove toner cartridges, paper and any other consumables that could spill or cause damage during the move.
- Secure moving components for printer relocation: Secure moving photocopier components, such as the paper feed tray, drawers and covers, with heavy-duty tape to prevent them from opening or moving during transport.
- Protect the unit: Wrap the photocopier in protective material such as moving blankets or bubble wrap to avoid scratches and dents.
- Use suitable lifting equipment when moving printers: Due to the heavy weight of commercial photocopiers, it’s advisable to use a moving cart or hand truck to transport the unit. Make sure the equipment is strong enough to bear the weight.
- Removing detachable parts: If the manufacturer’s manual recommends it, remove easily detachable parts to reduce the risk of damage during removal. Mark these parts or take photos to facilitate reassembly.
- Preparing for printer relocation: If necessary, dismantle larger parts of the photocopier according to the manufacturer’s instructions to facilitate transport, especially if you have to pass through tight spaces or stairs.
- Documentation: Take photos or note the configuration of the unit before disassembling it, to help you reassemble it correctly at your destination.
- Careful handling: When lifting and transporting the photocopier, take care not to twist or force any components. Always use suitable assistance for heavy equipment.
- Safe transport: Make sure the photocopier is secure and stable during transport to avoid any movement that could cause damage.
