Copiers & Printers for Los Angeles and South Bay Businesses
Multifunction devices and production print from Ricoh, Kyocera, Brother and Epson, sized to the way your office prints and backed by local service.
Most offices overpay for print in one of two ways: a device that is too big for the work, or one that is too small and breaks down under it. 1 Touch Office Technology helps you avoid both. We look at how your team really prints, match device speed, paper handling and color to that work, and put a local service team behind every machine. Whether you need a single desktop printer, a fleet of A3 multifunction copiers, or production equipment for a high-volume shop, we will recommend what fits and explain why, with a lease or purchase structure that suits your budget.
How we right-size your print fleet
We start with your actual print habits, not a catalog. Here is how a typical engagement works:
- 1
Print assessment
We review your current devices, monthly page volumes, color versus black-and-white mix, and what you pay today, including service and supplies.
- 2
Match the work to the machine
We size speed, paper capacity, finishing options (stapling, hole punch, booklet) and scan features to the jobs your team runs every day.
- 3
Clear proposal
You get a written recommendation with lease and purchase options side by side, so you can compare total cost, not just the monthly payment.
- 4
Installation and setup
We deliver, install and connect each device to your network, set up scan-to-email and scan-to-folder, and train your staff.
- 5
Ongoing local service
Our technicians handle maintenance and repairs, and we revisit your fleet as your volume and needs change.
Which copier or printer is right for your office?
The right device depends on how many pages you print, what size, and how much finishing you need. Use this as a starting point, then let us confirm it with a free assessment.
| Device type | Best for | Typical monthly volume | Paper size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop printer (single-function) | One user or a very small team | Under 2,000 pages | A4 (letter/legal) |
| A4 multifunction printer | Small offices that print, copy and scan | 2,000 to 10,000 pages | A4 (letter/legal) |
| A3 multifunction copier | Departments and mid-size offices, tabloid (11x17) prints | 5,000 to 50,000 pages | A3 and A4 |
| High-speed departmental MFP | Busy print rooms, large teams, heavy finishing | 30,000+ pages | A3 and A4 |
| Production print system | Print shops, in-house print centers, high-volume jobs | 100,000+ pages | Up to large-format sheets |
A3 or A4?
A3 devices print up to 11x17 (tabloid) and are the standard for shared office copiers. A4 devices are smaller and less expensive, and work well when you rarely print larger than letter or legal.
Color or black and white?
Black-and-white devices cost less per page and suit contracts, reports and forms. Color adds value for proposals, marketing material and presentations. Many offices run a mix: one color device for client-facing work and black-and-white for everyday volume.
Brands we carry
We carry four manufacturers so we can recommend the right tool for the job instead of fitting every customer to one product line.
A3 and A4 multifunction copiers from workgroup to departmental, plus production print systems for high-volume work. Often the right choice for shared office copiers and document-heavy teams.
Durable A3 and A4 multifunction devices known for low running costs, a good fit when cost per page and long service life matter most.
Compact A4 printers and multifunction devices for small offices, home offices and individual workgroups.
Business inkjet printers and multifunction devices that suit offices wanting fast first-page output and lower energy use.
Lease or buy: which makes sense for your business?
There is no single right answer. It depends on cash flow, how often you want newer equipment, and your tax situation. We lay out both options side by side and recommend what fits, not what pays us more.
| Lease | Buy | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Low | Higher |
| Monthly cost | Fixed payment, often with service bundled | None after purchase, plus service and supplies |
| Ownership | You return, renew or upgrade at term end | You own the device |
| Technology refresh | Easy to upgrade at end of term | You decide when to replace |
| Best when | You want predictable payments and regular upgrades | You keep equipment for many years and have capital available |
Before you sign any lease, check the term length, what the payment includes (service, toner, parts), the cost per page for overages, and what happens at the end of the term. Hidden terms in older contracts are a common source of overspending, which is why we offer a Contract Assessment for businesses that want a second opinion.
For tax treatment, check with your accountant. We can supply the numbers they need.
Production print for high-volume work
If your business prints at volume, a standard office copier will slow you down and cost more per page. Production print systems are built for speed, duty cycle and finishing quality, and we supply them alongside our standard office devices.
Production print fits organizations such as:
- In-house print centers and reprographics departments
- Print shops and commercial printers
- Schools, universities and government offices
- Law firms, healthcare groups and corporate print rooms producing large document sets
- Businesses that produce marketing collateral, direct mail, training manuals or booklets
What we help you evaluate:
- Print speed and monthly duty cycle for your peak weeks, not your average ones
- Finishing options such as booklet making, stapling, folding, hole punching and trimming
- Media handling, including heavier stocks, coated paper and larger sheet sizes
- Color consistency across large runs
- Workflow integration, so jobs flow from submission to finished output with less manual handling
Managed print services and local support
A good device is only half of the picture. What keeps your office running is who services it and how fast they respond. With a managed print agreement, we take responsibility for the fleet so your team can stay focused on work.
A managed print agreement can include:
- Preventive maintenance and repairs by our technicians
- Toner and supplies, delivered or replenished as needed
- Usage monitoring, so you see who prints what and where costs are going
- One predictable monthly cost instead of surprise service bills
- A single point of contact for every device, even in a mixed-brand fleet
- Fleet reviews as your headcount and print needs change
Local service. We are based at 2213 Border Ave. in Torrance and serve businesses across Los Angeles, the South Bay and Southern California. Service calls are handled by our own technicians, with a target response time of 4 business hours.
Already have copiers from another dealer? We can often take over service on equipment you already own or lease. Ask us.

Frequently asked questions
What copier and printer brands does 1 Touch Office Technology carry?
We carry Ricoh, Kyocera, Brother and Epson. Our lineup includes single-function and multifunction devices in A3 and A4, color and black and white, from desktop printers to production print systems. We help you choose the brand and model that fits how your team prints.
Should I lease or buy a copier?
Leasing suits businesses that want low upfront cost, predictable payments and regular upgrades. Buying suits businesses that keep equipment for many years and have capital available. We walk you through both options and recommend the one that fits your cash flow and tax situation. Your accountant can confirm the tax treatment.
Do you support high-volume production printing?
Yes. Alongside standard office multifunction devices, we supply production print solutions for high-volume, high-speed needs, including finishing options such as booklet making, stapling and folding.
How much does a business copier cost?
Price depends on speed, color, paper handling and finishing. Business printers range from a few hundred dollars for a desktop model to tens of thousands for production equipment. A free assessment gives you a written quote for your exact needs.
What is the difference between A3 and A4 copiers?
A3 devices print and copy up to 11x17 (tabloid) and handle higher volumes, so they suit shared office copiers. A4 devices handle letter and legal sizes and cost less, so they suit small offices and individual workgroups.
How do I know what size copier my office needs?
Start with your monthly page volume, the paper sizes you print, and whether you need color, stapling or scanning. A device that is too small wears out quickly, and one that is too large wastes money. Our free print assessment reviews your real usage and recommends the right fit.
What does a managed print services agreement include?
A typical agreement covers maintenance, repairs, supplies, and usage monitoring for a predictable monthly cost. We tailor each agreement to your fleet, and can often service equipment you already own or lease. Ask us what is included in your quote.
How long does a business copier last?
With regular maintenance, many office copiers run for five to seven years or longer, depending on volume and model. Leases commonly run three to five years, after which many businesses upgrade to newer equipment.
What happens at the end of my copier lease?
You typically have three choices: return the equipment, renew or upgrade to a new model, or buy it out. Check your contract for notice windows and return terms, since missing them can extend the lease automatically. Our Contract Assessment can review your agreement.
Can you service copiers I already own or lease from another company?
In many cases, yes. Contact us with your make and model and we will tell you whether we can support it and what service would cost.
Can your copiers scan to email, cloud storage or our document system?
Yes. Our multifunction devices support scan-to-email, scan-to-folder and scan-to-cloud, and can connect to document management and workflow tools.
Do you offer secure printing for sensitive documents?
Yes. Many devices offer features such as secure print release, user authentication and hard drive protection. Tell us your compliance needs and we will recommend the right setup.
