What to buy
Article Abstract:
Thermal fax machines are becoming increasingly available from off-the-shelf outlets but sales staff may have no real knowledge to help business buyers with their choice. The main outlets are retail, direct sales, mail order and dealers. Before choosing a thermal fax, thought should be given to how it will be used and the functions it will be required to fulfill. It is unnecessary to pay for sophisticated features that will never be used. However, buying the cheapest model available is not necessarily cost-effective.

Running costs and service
Article Abstract:
When buying a thermal fax machine, the running and service costs should be taken into account. One of the main costs associated with thermal fax machines is that of the thermal paper, which is very expensive. If fax quality is important, extra high-quality paper is even more expensive. It is important to estimate the annual paper costs before investing in a thermal fax machine, as high-volume output could be cheaper using other fax technology, such as laser LED.

Should you opt for thermal?
Article Abstract:
Thermal paper faxes were much cheaper than low end inkfilm plain-paper models until recently, but the gap has narrowed. Thermal fax machines may suit businesses who receive short messages regularly, of those who send more faxes than they receive. Thermal faxes are divided into non-memory, memory, combined non-memory and combined memory categories, with non-memory generally the cheapest form.
